“…Prior to investigation with scientific drilling, previous models of the stratigraphic architecture and ages of shelf and rise sedimentary sequences in the Amundsen Sea (Gohl et al., 2013; Uenzelmann‐Neben & Gohl, 2012, 2014) were based only on long distance or jump correlation of regional seismic reflection profiles to the seismic stratigraphy of the Ross Sea tied to Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Leg 28 sites (e.g., De Santis et al., 1999) as well as to DSDP Leg 35 and Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 178 sites west of the Antarctic Peninsula (Barker et al., 2002; Tucholke et al., 1976). Recently, shelf sediments in the ASE were drilled with the MARUM‐MeBo70 sea‐bed drilling device in 2017, recovering sedimentary rocks of Cretaceous to Oligocene‐Miocene age (Gohl et al., 2017; Klages et al., 2020). The almost continuous sequences at IODP Expedition 379 Sites U1532 and U1533 on the continental rise (Gohl et al., 2021; Wellner et al., 2021a, 2021b) span the latest Miocene to Holocene with high core recovery rates of 90% and 70%, respectively (Figure 1).…”
