Abstract
The deepest and stronger velocity anomaly correspond to a basin-wide seismic unconformity (RSU2, Late Miocene-Early Pliocene in age). This anomaly is interpreted as evidence of a major advance of the West Antarctic ice sheet on the continental shelf that resulted in high velocity and low porosity in sediment immediately above the unconformity.
