This grant supports a study of the margin of the East Antarctic                 ice sheet, a very sensitive area because its flow is disrupted by               subglacial bedrock ridges.  The resulting ice fields expose a                   stratigraphic section of the ice sheet including basal ice of                   great age which ablates to form supraglacial moraines.  The                     objectives of this study include 1) mapping of the surface                      elevation and thickness of the ice in the Beardmore-Glacier area                in order to document the effect of bedrock topography on local                  ice flow patterns:  2) identification of the Pleistocene-                       Holocene boundary in the exposed ice based on oxygen isotope                    compositions of systematically-collected ice samples; 3) study of               selected clasts in supraglacial moraines of the area in order to                obtain information about the geology of the East Antarctic                      craton; and 4) geochemical, mineralogical, and isotopic study of                silicate spherules that occur in significant numbers in glacial                 sediment in the study area.
