Statement

To achieve our aim we will have a terrestrial field campaign in the Ellsworth Mountains in season 2005-06, mapping geomorphology and sampling bedrock, erratics and tills for subsequent cosmogenic isotope analysis. Exposure ages on these samples will allow us to determine the vertical thinning history of the WAIS across the mountain range. We will use a high-resolution glaciological model to tie this thinning history to a grounding line history for the WAIS in the Weddell Sea embayment.
