Abstract

The article presents a note on the recovery of the new marine core that provides understanding of the evolution of the East Antarctic Ice Sheets (EAIS) during the Late Quaternary in Rauer Group, Antarctica. The ice sheet extent during the period is interpreted by several factors, including visual description, geochemical parameters, and diatom assemblages combined with radiocarbon age determinations of the sediment sequence. The recovered Core Co1010 from a marine inlet defines three major sedimentary units with distinct characteristics.
