We present radiocarbon and stable isotopes measurements from Taylor Glacier, Antarctica. Measurements of 14CH4, 14CO, δ13CH4, and δD-CH4 were conducted on 13 samples with ages ranging from 18-8.2 kilo year before present (kyr BP). The CH4 isotopes (both radiocarbon and stable isotopes) were used to...
