Collaborative Research: Constructing an Ultra-high Resolution Atmospheric Methane Record for the Last 140,000 Years from WAIS Divide Core
Entry ID:
Sowers_0538538
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.
