Inverse Relationship of Marine Aerosol and Dust in Antarctic Ice with Fine-Grained Sediment in the South Atlantic Ocean: Implications for Sea-Ice Coverage and Wind Strength
Abstract:This research seeks to test the hypothesis that natural gamma radiation (NGR) from Ocean Drilling Program Site 1094, which displays variability over the last glacialinterglacial cycle similar to dust in the Vostok ice core, reflects fine-grained terrigenous sediment delivered by eolian processes. Grain size was measured on 400 samples spanning 0-20 m in a composite core. Accumulation of the <63µ size fraction at Site 1094 and dust in Vostok exhibit a negative correlation, suggesting the fine sediments are not … Show more
