East Greenland ice core dust record reveals timing of Greenland ice sheet advance and retreat

Accurate measurements of the past extent of the Greenland ice sheet are crucial to understand its response to changing climate conditions. Here, the authors present a dust record from an ice core from the east coast of Greenland to provide detailed time constraints on ice sheet advance and retreat o...

Description
Summary:Accurate measurements of the past extent of the Greenland ice sheet are crucial to understand its response to changing climate conditions. Here, the authors present a dust record from an ice core from the east coast of Greenland to provide detailed time constraints on ice sheet advance and retreat over the last interglacials.
