In July 2001, a 140 m long ice core was recovered from the Belukha glacier (494826N, 863443E, 4062 m a.s.l.) in the Siberian Altai. The ion chemistry of the upper 86 m, covering the last two centuries, is characterized by biogenic emissions (ammonium and formate), aeolian dust (calcium, magnesium, c...
