Comparison of Holocene electrical records from Dome C and Vostok, Antarctica
As part of the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica, a new deep ice core is being drilled at Dome C. Two electrical methods have been used on the core drilled so far: a new design of electrical conductivity method (ECM) instrument, and a traditional dielectric profiler. The two profiles are...
