This dissertation explores ice archives from Allan Hills Blue Ice Areas (BIAs), East Antarctica, where ice as old as 1 million years (BIT-58) was found and another ice core (S27) covering the time interval between 115 and 255 ka continuously was retrieved. Here, ice movement along the rising bedrock...
