Millennial and orbital-scale variability in a 54 000-year record of total air content from the South Pole ice core

JA Epifanio, EJ Brook, C Buizert, EC Pettit… - The …, 2023 - tc.copernicus.org
The total air content (TAC) of polar ice cores has long been considered a potential proxy for
past ice sheet elevation. Recent work, however, has shown that a variety of other factors …

Gas isotope thermometry in the South Pole and Dome Fuji ice cores provides evidence for seasonal rectification of ice core gas records

JD Morgan, C Buizert, TJ Fudge… - The Cryosphere …, 2022 - tc.copernicus.org
Gas isotope thermometry using the isotopes of molecular nitrogen and argon has been used
extensively to reconstruct past surface temperature change from Greenland ice cores. The …
