Unravelling the complex sub-ice geology of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin region of East Antarctica from marine sediment provenance analyses
Abstract Deciphering the sub-ice geology in the Wilkes Subglacial Basin region is important for understanding solid earth-ice sheet evolution and for assessing geological ties between East Antarctica and formerly contiguous Australia. We analyse marine sediment samples derived from drill site U1359 of Integrated Oceanic Drilling Program Expedition 318. Our study reports for the first time that the inland sediment source area comprises a complex mafic igneous terrain and a metamorphosed Precambrian subglacial basement. Pyroxene geochemical analyses confirm the presence of tholeiitic to calc-alkaline basalts. The high-grade part of the subglacial terrain contains upper amphibolite to granulite facies rocks that are comparable to Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic rocks exposed in the Terre Adélie Craton and the formerly adjacent Gawler Craton in Australia. Chemical Th-U-total Pb isochron method (CHIME) ages extracted from a subhedral monazite grain associated with the low-grade biotite-muscovite schist rock fragment provide a unimodal age of 799 ± 13 Ma. Rare occurrences of 800 Ma age in the Terre Adélie Craton and/or George V Coast provide evidence for the presence of at least one late Neoproterozoic magmato-metamorphic event in the interior of Wilkes Land. The affinity of the unexposed geological domains of Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, with their Australian counterparts is discussed in the context of the Rodinia supercontinent.
期刊介绍:
Antarctic Science provides a truly international forum for the broad spread of studies that increasingly characterise scientific research in the Antarctic. Whilst emphasising interdisciplinary work, the journal publishes papers from environmental management to biodiversity, from volcanoes to icebergs, and from oceanography to the upper atmosphere. No other journal covers such a wide range of Antarctic scientific studies. The journal attracts papers from all countries currently undertaking Antarctic research. It publishes both review and data papers with no limits on length, two-page short notes on technical developments and recent discoveries, and book reviews. These, together with an editorial discussing broader aspects of science, provide a rich and varied mixture of items to interest researchers in all areas of science. There are no page charges, or charges for colour, to authors publishing in the Journal. One issue each year is normally devoted to a specific theme or papers from a major meeting.
