Greenland and Antarctic ice core ethane measurements from 1000-1900 CE

Ethane is one of the most abundant non-methane hydrocarbon gases in the atmosphere with emissions from production and use of fossil fuels, from biomass and biofuel burning and from geologic sources. Ethane levels in the atmosphere have been used to understand and quantify the variability in fossil f...
