CARBON AND HYDROGEN ISOTOPIC COMPOSITION OF METHANE OVER THE LAST 1000 YEARS

New measurements of the carbon and hydrogen isotopic ratios of methane (δ13C of CH4 and δD of CH4) over the last millennium are presented from the WAIS Divide, Antarctica ice core (WDC05A), showing significant changes that likely were influenced by humans even before the industrial revolution. The δ...
