Ten shallow ice cores 0.9-1.1 m deep were collected with a 7.25 cm diameter Kovacs Mark III coring system (http://www.kovacsicedrillingequipment.com). Cores were collected and processed adjacent to the core sites on 11 July and 12 July between 14:00 and 21:00 local time. Core stratigraphy observatio...
