- Mount Achernar moraine is a terrestrial sediment archive that preserves a record of ice-sheet dynamics and climate over multiple glacial cycles. Similar records exist in other blue ice moraines elsewhere on the continent, but an understanding of how these moraines form is limited. We propose a model to explain the formation of extensive, coherent blue ice moraine sequences based on the integration of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data with ice velocity and surface exposure ages. GPR transects (100 and 25 MHz) both perpendicular and parallel to moraine ridges at Mount Achernar reveal an internal structure defined by alternating relatively clean ice and steeply dipping debris bands extending to depth, and where visible, to the underlying bedrock surface. Sediment is carried to the surface from depth along these debris bands, and sublimates out of the ice, accumulating over time (>300 ka). The internal pattern of dipping reflectors, combined with increasing surface exposure ages, suggest sequential exposure of the sediment where ice and debris accretes laterally to form the moraine. Subsurface structure varies across the moraine and can be linked to changes in basal entrainment conditions. We speculate that higher concentrations of debris may have been entrained in the ice during colder glacial periods or entrained more proximal to the moraine sequence.

- A quenched-in state of thermal equilibrium (at 723 K) in a single crystal of Cr-Fe-Co-Ni close to equal atomic percent was studied. Atom probe tomography revealed a single-phase state with no signs of long-range order. The presence of short-range order (SRO) was established by diffuse x-ray scattering exploiting the variation in scattering contrast close to the absorption edges of the constituents: At the incoming photon energies of 5969, 7092, and 8313 eV, SRO maxima that result from the linear superposition of the six partial SRO scattering patterns, were always found at X position. Electronic structure calculations showed that this type of maximum stems from the strong Cr-Ni and Cr-Co pair correlations, that are furthermore connected with the largest scattering contrast at 5969 eV. The calculated effective pair interaction parameters revealed an order-disorder transition at approximately 500 K to a L12-type (Fe,Co,Ni)3Cr structure. The calculated magnetic exchange interactions were dominantly of the antiferromagnetic type between Cr and any other alloy component and ferromagnetic between Fe, Co, and Ni. They yielded a Curie temperature (TC) of 120 K, close to experimental findings. Despite the low value of TC, the global magnetic state strongly affects chemical and elastic interactions in this system. In particular, it significantly increases the ordering tendency in the ferromagnetic state compared to the paramagnetic one.
