Circum Antarctic Marine Geology

A comprehensive single-authored book to introduce students and researchers to the marine geology of the Antarctic.

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series, Volume 54. This atlas and explanatory text were compiled under the sponsorship of the Division of Polar Programs (DPP) of the National Science Foundation (NSF). Relatively little interpretation has been incorporated into the synthesis beyond that implicit in the publications used, that inherent in the various analyses procedures required, or that required to reconcile apparently discrepant data or interpretations. This series of maps does, however, represent considerably more than a compilation of published results. The maps also incorporate extensive new and unpublished geological and geophysical data as well as many invaluable data that have appeared previously only in the gray literature (e.g., national and international agency and institutional technical reports).

This volume presents the proceedings of Symposium on Marine Geology and Palaeoceanography of the 30th International Geological Congress at Beijing. The proceedings aim to present a view of contemporary marine geology and should be of interest to researchers in the geological science.
