Transantarctic Mountains Ice Core Study, Paul Andrew Mayewski
Transantarctic Mountains Ice Core Study, Paul Andrew Mayewski
Earth Science Faculty Scholarship
Several sites within the Transantarctic Mountains fit the requirements necessary for the retrieval of ice cores that can provide valuable information concerning climate change and atmospheric chemistry.

Well-developed, clay-rich soils dominated by interstratified kaolinite-smectite are found on the uplifted coral reef terraces on the island of Barbados. The reef limestone is unlikely to have been the soil parent material however, because it is 98 per cent CaCO, and geomorphic evidence argues against the 20 m of reef solution required to produce the soils by this process. The mineralogy of the sand, silt, and clay fractions of the soils, and trace element geochemistry, suggest that aeolian materials carried on the trade winds from Africa, volcanic ash from the island of St. Vincent, and quartz from Tertiary bedrock on …
