Changes in continental and sea-salt atmospheric loadings in central Greenland during the most recent deglaciation: model-based estimates ...
By fitting a very simple atmospheric impurity model to high-resolution data on ice accumulation and contaminant fluxes in the GISP2 ice core, we have estimated changes in the atmospheric concentrations of soluble major ions, insoluble particulates and ¹⁰Be during the transition from glacial to Holoc...
