Spatial gradients in snow layering and 10 m temperatures at two EPICA-Dronning Maud Land (Antarctica) pre-site-survey drill sites
Per Holmlund,K. Gjerde,Niels S. Gundestrup,Margareta Hansson,Elisabeth Isaksson,L. Karlöf,M. Nyman,Rickard Pettersson,F. Pinglot,Carleen Reijmer,Malin Stenberg,M. Thomassen,R. S. W. van de Wal,C. J. van der Veen,Frank Wilhelms,Jan-Gunnar Winther +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, a pre-site survey for EPICA in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica was performed and the results showed that the high spatial gradients found in snow layering and temperatures were typically 10% on the polar plateau and as high as 50% near the coast.
Journal ArticleDOI
From 14C/12C measurements towards radiocarbon dating of ice
R. S. W. van de Wal,J.J. van Roijen,Dominique Raynaud,K. van der Borg,A.F.M. de Jong,Johannes Oerlemans,Vladimir Ya. Lipenkov,Philippe Huybrechts +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a dry extraction method of CO 2 included in glacier ice adds a contamination equivalent to 1.8 μg modern carbon for a 35 μ g C sample, which enables radiocarbon dating by accelerator mass spectrometry of 35 µ g C samples to about 25 000 BP.
Mass balance measurements in the Søndre Strømfjord area in the period 1990-1994

TL;DR: In this article, mass balance measurements for a transcct in the ablation zone of the Greenland ice sheet are presented, covering an altitude range of======337 to 1524 m. The mean equilibrium line-altitudc is found just below the equilibrium line.
