Physiographically, the Schirmacher area is divisible into continental ice, main Schirmacher land and shelf area. A clear distinction of the dominating physical agencies and their work in above mentioned three areas can easily be noticed. However, in a limited period of time, the present emphasis is given on various statistical analysis of the sediment samples collected from various sub-environments of the glacial environment. The common parameters like graphic mean, graphic skewness, graphic kurtosis, graphic standard deviation etc. have been calculated and interpreted for environmental reconstruction. In addition, a preliminary report of heavy minerals identified is also presented. In the present study, an emphasis has been given on detailed granulometric analysis of the extensive sediment samples collected from different locations of Polar ice-sheet, Schirmacher main land including lakes and shelf area. Various statistical parameters have been calculated and interpreted for their significance in reconstruction of depositional environment. The heavy minerals from the same samples have also been separated and are under study, therefore, a preliminary report is being made. completed principalInvestigator National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) 8322525515 voice Headland Sada, Vasco da Gama, Goa 403804 Vasco-da-Gama Goa 403804 IND ictd@ncpor.res.in Dr. Ashok K Srivastava 20.0 140.0 -90.0 30.0 2001-01-01 2002-12-31 Earth Science-Land Surface Theme Schirmacher Oasis Antarctic Place Detailed Sedimentological Studies of the Glacigenic Sediments of Schirmacher Oasis Project eng TableDigital unknown unknown unknown distributor National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) +91-832-2525515 voice Headland Sada, Vasco da Gama, Goa 403804 Vasco-da-Gama Goa 403804 IND vssamy@ncpor.res.in Mr. Sakthivel Samy V http://npdc.ncaor.gov.in/npdc/search_mf_data.action?search=freeText&expedition_type=all&parameter=MF1405531432&userType=user&freeTextValue=Detailed+Sedimentological+Studies+of+the+Glacigenic+Sediments+of+Schirmacher+Oasis%2C+Antarctica.
