Submarine Geomorphology of Eastern Ross Sea and Sulzberger Bay, Antarctica (Classic Reprint) Hardcover – August 24, 2018

Explore the submarine map of a remote Antarctic coast and how ice shaped it.This concise study describes the bathymetry and sediment patterns of the eastern Ross Sea and Sulzberger Bay. It explains how glaciation, ice streams, and fault zones carved deep troughs, ridges, and inner shelves along the continental margin.The work compiles survey data from the 1960–1961 Deep Freeze reconnaissance, combining ship tracks, depth profiles, and sediment analyses to reveal how ice and geology shaped this Arctic-edge region. It ties bathymetric features to glaciological history and lithologic changes, offering a clear, data-driven view of Antarctic marine geology.Identification of outer and inner shelves, shelf depressions, and transverse ridges.Discussion of how glacial erosion, ice streams, and isostatic rebound influenced deep bathymetry.Explanation of longitudinal depressions and their links to faults, lithology, and ice history.Illustrative figures and bathymetric profiles tracing the area’s contour map.Ideal for readers of marine geology, glaciology, and Antarctic oceanography who seek a clear, evidence-based overview of submarine geomorphology.
