摘要:
The first study of erratic boulder exposure ages in the Grove Mountains, interior Antarctica, indicates the two erratic boulders (06013121 and 06013122, collected from a typical nunataks, Zakhar off Ridge in the Grove Mountains) have 10Be minimum exposure ages of 1.24 ±0.11 Ma, 1.37 ±0.12 Ma, and 26Al ages of 0.90 ±0. 2Ma, 0.44 ±0.04 Ma, respectively. Meanwhile, another erratic boulder sample 06013124, coming from vicinal ice surface, has 10Be and 26Al minimum exposure ages of 0.47±0.3Ma and 0.44±0.04Ma, respectively. The exposure ages of the three erratic boulders are nearly similar to the bedrockswith the similar elevation. Thus, using the technique of in situ produced terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides, the ice sheet evolution histories in the Grove Mountains reflected by erratic boulder and bedrock exposure ages are basically consistent.
