| Popis: |
Sedimentological characterization of the marine sediments has been used for understanding the sediment distribution and processes occurring off the coast of East Antarctica. These sediments represent several glacial-interglacial cycles. The location of site U1359 on the eastern levee of Jussieu submarine channel in the continental rise makes it an important site for grain size analyses and quartz grains texture. The site is also important from the processes point of view as presently the area is influenced by various agents starting from the turbidity current to various bottom water currents. The grain size analyses, as well as the quartz grain textural analyses, supports the previously inferred stages of ice retreat and ice advancements in the Wilkes Land sector and displays utility of quartz microtexture and grain size study in inferring the past sedimentological processes. |
