We determined and discussed the mineral magnetic properties of the soil samples (n = 78) from the Schirmacher Oasis, East Antarctica. Environmental magnetism analysis was conducted to identify the mechanisms controlling the formation and distribution of iron oxide minerals such as magnetite and hema...
