- Abstract:
- Ice cores are a primary data-source for information on past climate but transfer functions between the data they contain and climate variables are often essentially speculative. This proposal will significantly advance ice-core interpretation techniques through a uniquely detailed analysis of relationships between Antarctic Peninsula accumulation and regional climate. The primary benefit will be an enhanced capability to deduce reliable evidence of climate change from ice cores. Ice-core chemistry will be related directly to storm track variability derived from atmospheric reanalysis datasets. One years' accumulation from three new 15-m ice cores, accurately calibrated by acoustic snow-depth instruments, will be utilised to develop robust chemistry-climate relationships that will be subsequently validated using the remainder of the cores.
