Abstract
United States Antarctic Program (USAP) Cruise 99-03 of the research ship Nathaniel B. Palmer collected several sediment cores from the western Antarctic Peninsula to examine the natural degree of environmental variability in this region during the Holocene (Domack et al. 1999). Here we examine variations in three magnetic parameters along an approximately 3-meter sediment core (Kasten core KC18C), which reflect the composition, grain size, and concentration of magnetic material in the sediments. The purpose of this magnetic study is to characterize the sediment magnetic mineral assemblage and to understand the local sedimentation processes that generate the assemblage.
