WAIS Divide Deep ice core 0-68 ka WD2014 chronology
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide deep ice core WD2014 chronology, consisting of ice age, gas age, delta-age and uncertainties therein. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide (WAIS Divide, WD) ice core is a newly drilled, high-accumulation deep ice core that provides Antarctic climate records...

The upper 2850 m (back to 31.2 ka BP; Sigl et al., 2015, Sigl et al., 2016) have been dated using annual-layer counting based on counting of annual layers observed in the chemical, dust and electrical conductivity records.

The chronology for the deep part of the core (below 2850m; 67.8-31.2 ka BP; Buizert et al., 2015) is based on stratigraphic matching to annual-layer-counted Greenland ice cores using globally well-mixed atmospheric methane. We calculate the WD gas age-ice age difference (Delta age) using a combination of firn densification modeling, ice-flow modeling, and a data set of d15N-N2, a proxy for past firn column thickness.

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide deep ice core WD2014 chronology, consisting of ice age, gas age, delta-age and uncertainties therein. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide (WAIS Divide, WD) ice core is a newly drilled, high-accumulation deep ice core that provides Antarctic climate records of the past ~68 ka at unprecedented temporal resolution. The upper 2850 m (back to 31.2 ka BP; Sigl et al., 2015, Sigl et al., 2016) have been dated using annual-layer counting based on counting of annual layers observed in the chemical, dust and electrical conductivity records. The measurements were interpreted manually and with the aid of two automated methods. We validated the chronology by comparing of the cosmogenic isotope records of 10Be from WAIS Divide and 14C for IntCal13. We demonstrated that over the Holocene WD2014 was consistently accurate to better than 0.5% of the age. The chronology for the deep part of the core (below 2850m; 67.8-31.2 ka BP; Buizert et al., 2015) is based on stratigraphic matching to annual-layer-counted Greenland ice cores using globally well-mixed atmospheric methane.
