Publication and Future Research

Samples collected in the Beardmore Glacier region this season will be processed and dated at the fission track laboratory at Melbourne university. This completes for the time being the fission track study of the Transantarctic Mountains that was begun in 1981/82 by Gleadow working in Victoria Land (Gleadow, in Barrett, 1982). It is hoped that results of this study will be presented at the Fifth International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences to be held in Cambridge, 1987.
