Late Holocene Climate Variability, Dry Valleys, Antarctica

Entry ID: NSIDC-0399

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This data set includes high-resolution ice core records from the Dry Valleys region of Antarctica, and provides interpretations of interannual to decadal-scale climate variability during the last 2000 years (late Holocene). Intermediate-length ice cores (100 to 200 meters) were drilled at four sites along transects in the Taylor and Wright valleys, and analyzed for stable isotopes and major ions. ...
