This project will document the micro and macrofaunal content of                 the McMurdo Ice Shelf.  Holocene fossil material has been lifted                from the seafloor at the southern limits of McMurdo Sound and                   moved to the surface of the ice shelf during ablation.  Current                 investigations involve attempts to characterize assemblages in                  different areas of the shelf in terms of bathymetry, substrate,                 and degree of faunal degradation.  This project will include                    systematic and isotope studies in the laboratory.  Although                     debris-rich ice shelves are rare in Antarctica today, the degree                of transport of material (including fossil material) from the                   continental interior to the continental margin during the Cenozoic              implies McMurdo Ice Shelf-like bodies were quite common in the                  past.  The Holocene McMurdo Ice Shelf is the best available analog              for these earlier Cenozoic ice shelves.
