Reconstructing Antarctic Bottom Water Production History

This research explores the historical reconstruction of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) production in the Ross Sea, focusing on the role of Dense Shelf Water (DSW) and sediment analysis. Sediments from drilled sites, including Hillary Canyon, are examined using biostratigraphy, paleomagnetic dating, and sediment modelling to elucidate grain size variations, density currents, and deposition patterns caused by climatic events. Findings highlight significant climate-driven changes in DSW...
