Summary
Abstract: To understand the drivers and consequences of climate change on timescales important to humans, the paleoclimate of ice cores, the glacial system and local climate patterns were analysed from the Wilson Piedmont Glacier. The Wilson Piedment Gacier serves as a reference record for an examination of the Victoria Lower Glacier. During the 00-01 season a 3m snow profile was sampled in 1cm resolution ... View entire text
