This thesis deals with the analysis and interpretation of ice core data from northern Greenland, one of the least studied areas in the Arctic. The focus of the thesis is the study of delta18O values which can be used as a proxy for temperature. The 13 ice cores from the North Greenland Traverse (NGT...
