Journal of Glaciology, 2022 During the past 20 years, multi-channel radar emerged as a key tool for deciphering an ice sheet's internal architecture. To assign ages to radar reflections and connect them over large areas in the ice sheet, the layer genesis has to be understood on a ...

Climatic signals from 76 shallow firn cores in Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 The spatial and temporal distribution of surface mass balance (SMB) and δ18O were investigated in the first comprehensive study of a set of 76 firn cores retrieved by various expeditions during the past 3 decades in Dronning Maud Land, East ...

Improved direct-count method by fluorescence microscope for low-biomass ice core
Antarctic Record, 2012 Ice cores recovered from ice sheets contain microorganisms that were transported to the surface of the ice sheet along with airborne dust. The abundance of microorganisms in ice cores, as measured by direct cell count under a fluorescence microscope, is ...

Optimization of hot-water ice-coring drills
Annals of Glaciology, 2021 Hot-water ice-coring drills are often used to recover ice core samples from desirable depths in conjunction with full-scale hot-water drilling systems. However, the recovered cores exhibit varying qualities.

Test-Bed Performance of an Ice-Coring Drill Used with a Hot Water Drilling System
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 Ice cores from ice shelves contain abundant paleoclimatic information and provide essential information concerned with the prediction of future climatic change and global sea level variations.

Post-coring entrapment of modern air in some shallow ice cores collected near the firn-ice transition: evidence from CFC-12 measurements in Antarctic firn air and ice cores [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010 In this study, we report measurements of CFC-12 (CCl<sub>2</sub>F<sub>2</sub>) in firn air and in air extracted from shallow ice cores from three Antarctic sites. The firn air data are consistent with the known atmospheric history
