| Research Abstract |
We have been studied the stratigraphic relationship between raised beach deposits including in-situ fossil shells and glacial deposits in the Lutzow-Holm Bay region, East Antarctica, to clarify that the Antarctic ice sheet, unlike the northern hemisphere ice sheet, was not the greatest during the marine isotope stage (MIS) 2 but the greatest at the age older than 46 ka. The 46 ka is, however, close to the limit of 14C analysis and sensitive to the effect of contamination. Therefore, ages obtained by other dating methods would be of great help in interpreting those data. For this reason we investigate on optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), electron spin reasonance (ESR) and cosmogenic dates of Quaternary sediments in the Lutzow-Holm Bay region, East Antarctica, to compare them with AMS 14C dates and to discuss on late Pleistocene chronology.
Though some OSL or cosmogenic ages from our samples dearly differ from 14C ages, most of OSL, 14C, and cosmogenic dates seem to be consistent if we take calibration factors such as reservoir correction into account. While we should make further sophisticated dating experiments, we can reconfirm that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet did not re-advance to the ice-free area on the northernmost part of the Soya Coast during the LGM. There is a possibility that the ice sheet retreated from the area during the period prior to about 50,000 or 80,000 yrBP.
