Compared to the Antarctic and Greenland, the Canadian Arctic has seen extremely few trace metal studies on snow and ice. Surface, subsurface and depth samples of snow and firns were collected from the Agassiz Ice Cap, Ellesmere Island, Canada using clean room practices. Results for Tl (directly dete...
