Siple Dome Core Date from Measurement of the d18O of Paleoatmospheric Oxygen
Abstract: This data set is part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Cores (WAISCORES) project, an NSF-funded project to understand the influence of the West Antarctic ice sheet on climate and sea level change. WAISCORES researchers acquired and analyzed ice core samples from the Siple Dome, in the Siple...

The replicate samples were measured at 1 to 1.5 kiloyear (kyr) resolution for the length of the core. Because of core relaxation and cracking at the surface associated with gas loss and a small fractionation of O isotopes associated with loss of O<sub>2</sub>, the δ<sup>18</sup>O<sub>atm</sub> timescale and accuracy of the constraints of the Siple Dome control depths are subject to limited error.
