Dating Polar Ice by 14 C Accelerator Mass Spectrometry

Results of 14 C/ 12 C ratio measurements on CO 2 extracted from air bubbles in polar ice are presented. The samples investigated originate from the Dye 3, South Greenland, deep ice core and span approximately the last 10,000 years. The results are calibrated with tree-ring records. The 14 C ages are...

Description
Summary:Results of 14 C/ 12 C ratio measurements on CO 2 extracted from air bubbles in polar ice are presented. The samples investigated originate from the Dye 3, South Greenland, deep ice core and span approximately the last 10,000 years. The results are calibrated with tree-ring records. The 14 C ages are compared with information obtained from seasonal variations of ice-core parameters and rheologic model calculation.
