Araon-based Antarctic Peninsula expedition, 2013
We conducted Araon-based expedition on the western and eastern Antarctic Peninsula and build up ice-shelf monitoring system. Main coring equipment is gravity corer and after half-cut of sediment cores we measured MS, XRF from ITRAX core scanner on cruise. During the expedition, we have some chance to take new geophysical information at Bigo & Leroux bays and off Larsen C ice shelf. (1) to establish an monitoring system for ice shelf movements (2) to reconstruct the environmental changes caused by past climatic changes in the ice shelf area (West Antarctica).
