During October and November of 2008, approximately 48 km of multi-channel seismic reflection data were collected on a sea ice platform east of New Harbor, Antarctica. The Offshore New Harbor project has generated new seismic data that will resolve paleoenvironments that controlled sedimentation during the Eocene and late Oligocene in the Western Ross Sea.
