The Chemical Stratigraphy of Polar Ice Sheets — A Method of Dating Ice Cores

Abstract Studies of the chemical stratigraphy in the snow near Vostok station, which is near the centre of the East Antarctic ice sheet, show that sodium exhibits annual concentration differences of up to a factor of ten. Similar work on the 952 m Vostok ice core enabled accumulation rates along sel...
