Abstract
Summary
Antarctica is the least known continent despite being a keystone in the Gondwana, Rodinia and the Columbia supercontinents. Conventional geological studies are hampered by the thick ice sheets that cover over 99% of the continent. Because of its impacts on global sea level rise, the past, present and future behaviour of the Antarctic ice sheets is also a focus of major geoscientific research.
