A continuous 293-year record of volcanic events in an ice core from Lambert Glacier basin, East Antarctica
Abstract During the 18th Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition (CHINARE-18, 2001–2002), a 102.18 m ice core was drilled at site LGB69 (70°50′06.6′′S, 77°04′28.9′′E, 1850 m a.s.l., accumulation rate 70 cm yr -1 ), located to the east of the Lambert Glacier basin. This ice core has been analy...
