Professor of Geology Eugene Domack was interviewed for a New York Times article (4/2/02) about changing Antarctic climate patterns. Domack, who spent six weeks doing research in Antarctica during December and January, discussed the Larsen A Ice Shelf. Domack and researchers found tiny fossils of marine algae on the sea floor that was once covered by the Larsen Shelf. The finding indicated that this part of the ice shelf had been open water at least once before. Domack said the shelf probably melted about 6,000 years ago in a previous warm spell, and remained open water until refreezing during the Little Ice age about 700 years ago, then remained frozen until it fell apart in 1995.
