-
A geodatabase of 186 published Quaternary marine and terrestrial dates relating to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) glaciation and ice retreat, which capture the dynamics and retreat of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS).
-
Glacial outlines of the APIS (Antarctica Peninsula Ice Sheet) for 1988, 2001, 2009. This is now incorporated into the GLIMS (Global Land Ice Measurements from Space) project.
-
Geological samples collected during the 2010-11 field season from James Ross Island, northeast Antarctic Peninsula.
-
Cosmogenic isotope exposure-age dating (Aluminium-26, Beryllium-10 and Chlorine-36) of granite erratic boulders and locally derived glacially transported basalt boulders from ice-free land on James Ross Island, northeastern Antarctic Peninsula. These data are used to define the evolution of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ice in the adjacent Prince Gustav region and the timing and duration of deglacial ice-streaming events.
