Abstract:
Antarctica’s continental slopes hold invaluable insights for understanding past climate, ice-sheet dynamics, ocean circulation, erosional and depositional processes, and submarine geohazards over millennial timescales. Antarctica has been the recent focus for International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expeditions 374, 379 and 382, recovering hundreds of meters of continental slope records. This lecture presents some of the multidisciplinary results from these recent expeditions arising from Antarctic continental slope records, particularly focusing on submarine geohazards.
This talk is part of the ECORD Distinguished Lecturer Program
