Dating of the GV7 East Antarctic ice core by high-resolution chemical records and focus on the accumulation rate variability in the last millennium

Ice core dating is the first step for a correct interpretation of climatic and environmental changes. In this work, we release the dating of the uppermost 197 m of the 250 m deep GV7(B) ice core (drill site, 70 ∘ 41 ′ S, 158 ∘ 52 ′ E; 1950 m a.s.l. in Oates Land, East Antarctica) with a sub-annual r...
