US International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (US ITASE) Glaciochemical Data

Entry ID: NSIDC-0273

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Sub-annually resolved ice core chemistry data from various sites on the Antarctic Ice Sheet were obtained from 1999 to 2008 during the US International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (US ITASE) deployments. Researchers conducted experiments approximately every 100-300 km looking for clues representing climatic conditions over the past 200-1000+ years. Ice cores, ... obtained for the ...
