Introduction Geography Geologic Setting Data from the Crust Data from the Mantle Timing of Deformation Mechanisms of Uplift Comparisons with Other Rifts Remaining Issues Selected References

Some of the problems remaining in the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) include:

1) The relative importance of different uplift mechanisms in the TAM

2) Upper mantle architecture in the system. How thin is the lithosphere, and how hot are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere?

3) Improving timing and kinematic constraints on uplift and exhumation in the TAM
