Summary

Abstract: This data set contains helium isotope measurements on dust in ice cores from
GISP2 (Greenland) and Vostok (Antarctica). These data provide a proxy for
extraterrestrial dust flux since 97,000 years before present. Data are
available in MS Word and ASCII formats via ftp from the World Data Center for
Paleoclimatology.
