1. Bay) with fine sedimentation suggesting milder conditions with stronger summer discharge of meltwater starting ca. 1430 yr BP. Similarly, based on the presence of diamicton in marine sediment cores in Marian and Potter coves, Yoon et al. (2004) interpreted a glacial advance 1450-1700 yr BP, that coincided with warm, humid climate conditions. After that, from 1350 to 1100 yr BP, the seal population peaked on the west coast of Fildes Peninsula;Yang;Collins Harbor and Maxwell Bay and accelerating glacial discharge and ice rafting (Fig. 1),1991
2. corresponding to a switch from clayey silt/silty clay to diatomaceous silty clay (Simms et al., 2011) and low sand fraction (Fig. 4), indicates decline in glacial erosion and low influx of terrigenous material. This interpretation is supported by the dominance of References References;M S Low;Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology,2005
