Abstract The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) are one of Earth's great mountain belts and
are a fundamental physiographic feature of Antarctica. They are continental-scale, traverse a …

Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is the largest continental ice mass on Earth, and
documenting its evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is important for …

Abstract Early to Middle Miocene sea-level oscillations of approximately 40–60 m estimated
from far-field records,–are interpreted to reflect the loss of virtually all East Antarctic ice …

The Antarctic rock record spans some 3.5 billion years of history, and has made important
contributions to our understanding of how Earth's continents assemble and disperse through …

The seismic velocity structure of Antarctica is important, both as a constraint on the tectonic
history of the continent and for understanding solid Earth interactions with the ice sheet. We …

The initial (200–175Ma) breakup of Pangea was marked by the emplacement of the Large
Igneous Provinces (LIPs) of Karoo–Ferrar-SE Australia (KFS) in the back-arc of …

In recent years several tectonic reconstructions have been presented for Australia–
Antarctica break-up, with each putting the Australian plate in a different location with respect …

Despite several decades of research on growth of the continental crust, it remains unclear
whether the production of juvenile continental crust has been continuous or episodic …

The motion of diverging tectonic plates is typically constrained by geophysical data from
preserved ocean crust. However, constraining plate motions during continental rifting and …

High-grade metamorphic and igneous rocks originally mapped as the Nimrod Group
represent the only known crystalline basement of the East Antarctic shield exposed in the …
