Examining Antarctica from a Geodynamic Perspective: Backstripping, Ice Thickness, Tectonics and Erosion

I have applied the principles of basin analysis and geodynamics to several cores recovered from on or near the Antarctic continent to answer 2 independent questions about the tectonic evolution of Antarctica; as well as estimate the thickness of the Antarctic Ice Sheet at the Last Glacial Maximum.\n...
