Summary
|
Abstract:
This award supports a project to develop a high-resolution (every 50 yr) methane data set.
Purpose: This data set will play a pivotal role in developing the timescale for the new deep ice core being drilled at the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide (WAIS Divde) site as well as providing a common stratigraphic framework for comparing climate records from Greenland and WAIS Divide. |
