  • The dataset contains 12 new Be-10 cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure ages. The samples were collected from a scoria cone 1.5 km west of Mt. Murphy an exposed volcanic edifice adjacent to Pope Glacier in the Amundsen Sea Embayment, Antarctica. Samples of erratic cobbles which showed evidence of transport by ice were collected over the 2015-2016 AmuNdsen Sea Embayment Exposure Dating (ANISEED) Field Season, prepared at the CosmIC laboratory, Imperial College London and measured for Be-10 at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation. Beryllium-10 concentrations were measured by Accelerated Mass Spectrometry (AMS). Samples were measured to determine timing of deglaciation of two rock outcrops to better constrain the ice sheet lowering history of Pope Glacier during the Holocene. Study forms part of the wider International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration Project (ITGC). Samples were collected by Dr. Joanne Johnson and Dr. Stephen Roberts (British Antarctic Survey), supported by field assistants Alistair Docherty and Iain Rudkin. Sample preparation for 10Be measurement was carried out by Jonathan Adams - PhD candidate affiliated with British Antarctic Survey/ Imperial College London under the supervision of Dr. Dylan Rood - Imperial College London. AMS measurements of Beryllium-10 concentrations were performed by Dr. Klaus Wilcken - Australia''s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). National Science Foundation (NSF: Grant OPP-1738989) and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC: Grants NE/S006710/1, NE/S006753/1 and NE/K012088/1 and studentship to JRA).

  • High resolution dataset of rock outcrop in Antarctica. Data have been prepared from various map and remotely sensed datasets ranging from 1990s-2019. The large majority of data was compiled in 1993 and the quality and accuracy is uncertain. The automatically extracted rock outcrop layer provides a more accurate dataset in most locations.

  • Medium resolution dataset of rock outcrop in Antarctica. Data have been prepared from various map and remotely sensed datasets ranging from 1960s-2019. This dataset has been generalised from the high resolution version. The large majority of data was compiled in 1993 and the quality and accuracy is uncertain. The automatically extracted rock outcrop layer provides a more accurate dataset in most locations.
