Description
Summary:(e.g. Jouzel et al., 2007; Loulergue et al., 2008). Tephra studies of polar ice cores have already proved to be successful in synchro-nising palaeoclimate signals from widely spaced records (e.g. Davies et al., 2010), in refining timescales obtained by glaciological tephra dossier preserved at TALDICE provides clues on eruption history of nearby volcanoes (Narcisi et al., 2010a). The TALDICE ice core is also a remarkable palaeoclimatic archive, as it holds an uninterrupted record of climate and environmental changes back to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 7.5,w250 ka (Schilt et al., 2010; Stenni et al., 2011). In particular, owing to its relatively high accumulation rate, this core offers a climate record at decadal-scale resolution since the last climatic transition, a period characterised by dramatic and rapid changes throughout the world.
