Aeromagnetic data centered over Skelton Neve, Antarctica: A Web Site for Distribution of Data and Maps (on-line edition)

The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) rift-flank uplift has developed along the
ancestral margin of the East Antarctic craton, and forms the boundary between
the craton and the thinned lithosphere of the West Antarctic rift system.
Geodynamic processes associated with the exceptionally large-magnitude uplift
of the mountain belt remain poorly constrained, but may involve interaction of
rift-related mechanical and thermal processes and the inherited mechanical
elements of the cratonic lithosphere. The Transantarctic Mountain
Aerogeophysical Research Activities (TAMARA) program proposes to document the
regional structural architecture of a key segment of the Transantarctic
Mountains in the region around the Royal Society Range where the rift flank is
offset along a transverse accommodation zone.
