geological evidence of rapid ice stream retreat is important for
the potential insight it can bring to understanding of
contemporary rapid ice sheet change. Here, we report new
chronological constraints on the deglacial history of the
Marguerite Trough Ice Stream, which formerly drained part of the
western margin of the Antarctic Peninsula. This ice stream has
been previously identified on geomorphological grounds as an
example of an outlet that underwent rapid retreat following the
Last Glacial Maximum, but the precise timing of this retreat has
not been conclusively determined. We obtained
