Dating the Siple Dome (Antarctica) ice core by manual and computer interpretation of annual layering

ABSTRACT. The Holocene portion of the Siple Dome (Antarctica) ice core was dated by interpreting the electrical, visual and chemical properties of the core. The data were interpreted manually and with a computer algorithm.The algorithm interpretation was adjusted to be consistent with atmospheric me...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT. The Holocene portion of the Siple Dome (Antarctica) ice core was dated by interpreting the electrical, visual and chemical properties of the core. The data were interpreted manually and with a computer algorithm.The algorithm interpretation was adjusted to be consistent with atmospheric methane stratigraphic ties to the GISP2 (Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2) ice core, 10Be stratigraphic ties to the dendrochronology 14C record and the dated volcanic stratigraphy.The algorithm interpretation is more con-sistent and better quantified than the tedious and subjective manual interpretation.
