Analysis of soil profile samples and ice cores from Columnar Valley and Pearce Valley to determine the nature and origin of massive ground ice
Entry ID:
K047_2002_2003_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
To investigate the nature and origin of massive ground ice and to establish whether it has the potential to yield palaeoclimatic data, a set of shallow ice cores and samples were collected from Columnar Valley and Pearce Valley for chemical analysis and cosmogenic isotope dating. In addition to the ice core, pit soil profiles were obtained by sampling the pit walls and the surface material on ...
