Observation of Diatoms in Greenland Ice
Diatom frustules have been found in small concentrations in a section of ice core from Crete on the Greenland ice cap. . The statistics are poor and do not allow us to determine the diatom concentration accurately. Based on our measurements, we estimate the average diatom density (n/g) for the 0.6-m...
