This award supports the continuation of marine geological research on           the Antarctic continental margin.  This research focuses on four areas:            1)   Mapping the distribution and paleodrainage of marine ice sheets                 and ice shelves on the Antarctic continental shelf during the                   last glacial maximum, through sedimentologic analysis of cored                  deposits and high resolution seismic investigations.                            Radiocarbon dating will be used to constrain the timing of                      glacial events.                                                            2)   Increasing our understanding of glacial marine sedimentation by                 conducting detailed lithofacies studies in areas that are                       considered representative of Antarctic glacial marine                           environments.                                                              3)   Examining the deep sea hemipelagic and turbidite record to                      determine how glacial changes are manifested in these deep sea                  deposits.                                                                  4)   Conducting high resolution seismic stratigraphic studies of the                 Antarctic Peninsula and Ross Sea continental shelves with                       emphasis on the Neogene tectonic and glacial evolution of these                 regions.                                                                Results from the last ten years, and from work to be completed in the           next two years, will be compiled in the form of a folio series on the           Antarctic continental margin.
