Summary
Abstract: This data set consists of isotopic, carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane
(CH4) data collected from the Byrd and Vostok ice cores (Antarctica)
and the Greenland Ice Core Project (GRIP). Data from the Antarctic ice
cores are synchronized to the Greenland GRIP records. Data
measurements consist of GRIP depth, age, oxygen isotope (d18O) and CH4
data; Byrd and Vostok depth, age, oxygen isotope (d18O), CO2, and CH4
data. The data spans the time period from 10-50 kybp.
