Abstract:
This data set contains information on volcanic rock samples collected
at Mt. Takahe volcano in the 1998-99 austral summer. Included in data
set is GPS locations and elevations, sample types (lava or clastic
rock samples, and analysis type (XRF major and trace element
geochemistry, ICP-laser-ablation trace element geochemistry, and Ar/Ar
geochronology).
... Mt. Takahe volcano is a late Pleistocene shield volcano located in
eastern Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica. The lower flanks of
Mt. Takahe consist of hyaloclastite and pillow lava sequences that
were emplaced in a subaqueous environment. The study objective was to
establish paleo-ice-levels of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet based on
the age and elevation of subaqueous to subaerial volcanic rock
sequences.
