Siple Dome Glaciology and Ice Stream History 1994, 1996

Entry ID: NSIDC-0085

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Siple Dome Glaciology and Ice Stream History project was part of Western Divide West Antarctic Ice Cores (WAISCORES), an NSF-funded project to understand the influence of the West Antarctic ice sheet on climate and sea level change. WAISCORES researchers acquired and analyzed ice cores from the Siple Dome, in the Siple Coast region, West Antarctica. This project supported glaciological ...
