Reconstruction of Antarctic climate change using ice core proxy records from the coastal Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica
Antarctic ice core records have provided unprecedented information on past climatic changes and forcing factors on decadal to millennial timescales. The glaciochemical and stable isotope records of a shallow ice core from the coastal Dronning Maud Land (East Antarctica) were used here to reconstruct...
