Core processing, analysis and transportation procedures at Site J, Greenland (JAGE-89)
The field activities of the Japanese Arctic Glaciological Expedition (JAGE-89; PI, O. WATANABE) were conducted at Site J, West Greenland (66°51.9′N, 46°15.9′W) during the period of May to June in 1989. The main objective of the JAGE-89 field operation by eight members (field leader, Y. FUJII) was to...
