WebThe 210 Pb dating method is applied to deep thermally recovered firn-ice cores from the North Greenland ice sheet. The 210 Pb activity is found to decay exponentially with depth (expressed in water equivalent). The corresponding rate of snow accumulation, averaged over the past 150 years, is (32 ± 3) g/cm 2 -yr, in good agreement with present ... WebIn this paper, we extend earlier studies of variations of O2/N2 in the Vostok and GISP2 ice cores. This property varies at Vostok with local summer insolation, and may allow dating …

WebSnow algae in shallow ice cores (7 m long) from Yala Glacier in the Langtang region of Nepal were examined for potential use in ice-core dating. Ice-core samples taken at 5350 m a.s.l. in 1994 contained more than seven species of snow algae. In a vertical profile of the algal biomass, 11 distinct algal layers were observed. WebAnother reference layer also exists for ice core dating, which is the β radioactivity peak produced by a nuclear ex-plosion in the former Soviet Union in 1963 (Fig. 3). The results of this dating method coincides with the 1963 layer from counting dust layers, supporting the accuracy of ice core dating with dust layers, and affirming the ... WebWhere layer-counting is not possible, dating generally relies upon mathematical models of ice flow. Another useful technique is to identify events that are verified by other types of … green\u0027s graybill road
