This project is to use these sediments to understand their sub-ice provenance and the erosional history of the shield by measuring ages of multiple geo- and thermochronometers on single detrital crystals and on multiple crystals in detrital clasts (U/Pb, fission-track, and (U-Th)/He dating of zircon and apatite, and 40Ar/39Ar dating of hornblende, mica, and feldspar). The combination of multi-chronometer ages in single grains and clasts provides a powerful fingerprint of bedrock sources, allowing us to trace provenance in Eocene fluvial sandstones through Quaternary diamicts around the margin. Multiple thermochronometric (cooling) ages in the same grains and clasts also allows us to interpret the timing and rates of erosion from these bedrock sources. Delineating a distribution of bedrock age units, their sediment transport connections, and their erosional histories over the Cenozoic, will in turn allow us to test tectonic models bearing on: (1) the origin of the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains, (2) fluvial and topographic evolution, and (3) the history of glacial growth and erosion.\n", "release_date": null, "keywords": "Antarctica; Fission Track Thermochronology; Gamburtsev Mountains; Geochronology; Marine Sediments; NBP0101; ODP1166; ODP739; Prydz Bay; Solid Earth; Southern Ocean", "locations": "Antarctica; Gamburtsev Mountains; Southern Ocean; Prydz Bay", "persons": "Gehrels, George; Reiners, Peter; Thomson, Stuart", "projects": [ { "proj_uid": "p0000506", "title": "Collaborative Research: Erosion History and Sediment Provenance of East Antarctica from Multi-method Detrital Geo- and Thermochronology", "landing_page": "https://www.usap-dc.org/view/project/p0000506" } ], "awards": "0838722 Reiners, Peter", "north": "-67.28", "south": "-73.7", "east": "75.08", "west": "61.9", "science_programs": null, "nsf_funding_programs": null, "replaces": null, "replaced_by": null, "language_id": "English", "version": "1", "date_created": "Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0000", "date_modified": "Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0000" }, { "dataset_uid": "600090", "doi": "10.15784/600090", "landing_page": "https://www.usap-dc.org/view/dataset/600090", "title": "Triple-dating (Pb-FT-He) of Antarctic Detritus and the Origin of the Gamburtsev Mountains", "creator": "Gehrels, George; Reiners, Peter", "abstract": "This Small Grant for Exploratory Research investigates the origin and evolution of the Gamburtsev subglacial mountains (GSM).
