متن کاملNew constraints on the gas age-ice age difference along the EPICA ice cores, 0–50 kyr
Gas is trapped in polar ice sheets at ∼50–120m below the surface and is therefore younger than the surrounding ice. Firn densification models are used to evaluate this ice age-gas age difference (∆age) in the past. However, such models are not well tested on low accumulation and cold sites of the East Antarctic plateau, especially for 5 periods with different climatic conditions. Here we bring ...
متن کاملOn the gas-ice depth difference (1depth) along the EPICA Dome C ice core
We compare a variety of methods for estimating the gas/ice depth offset (1depth) at EPICA Dome C (EDC, East Antarctica). (1) Purely based on modelling efforts, 1depth can be estimated combining a firn densification with an ice flow model. (2) The diffusive column height can be estimated from δ15N and converted to 1depth using an ice flow model and assumptions about past average firn density and...
متن کاملInstruments and Methods Distribution of air bubbles in the EDML and EDC (Antarctica) ice cores, using a new method of automatic image analysis
Air bubbles in ice cores play an essential role in climate research, not only because they contain samples of the palaeoatmosphere, but also because their shape, size and distribution provide information about the past firn structure and the embedding of climate records into deep ice cores. In this context, we present profiles of average bubble size and bubble number for the entire EDML (Antarc...
متن کاملVolcanic Destruction in the Book of Mormon: Possible Evidence from Ice Cores
Third Nephi 8 preserves a written account of a natural disaster at the time of Christ’s death that many assume to have been caused by volcanic activity. In a modernday science quest, the author examines research done on glacial ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica. Ice-core records can reveal volcanic gases and ashes that are carried throughout the world—the gases are detected by measuring t...
