Abstract:: The recovery of a 1.5 million yr long ice core from Antarctica represents a keystone of our understanding of Quaternary climate, the progression of glaciation over this time period and the role of greenhouse gas cycles in this progression. Here we tackle the question of where such ice may still...

Abstract:: We present the WD2014 chronology for the upper part (0–2850 m; 31.2 ka BP) of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide (WD) ice core. The chronology is based on counting of annual layers observed in the chemical, dust and electrical conductivity records. These layers are caused by seasonal changes...

Abstract:: The West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide (WAIS Divide, WD) ice core is a newly drilled, high-accumulation deep ice core that provides Antarctic climate records of the past ~68 ka at unprecedented temporal resolution. The upper 2850 m (back to 31.2 ka BP) have been dated using annual-layer counting. Here we...

Multidecadal variability of atmospheric methane, 1000–1800 C.E.

Creator:: Mitchell, Logan E., Brook, Edward J., Sowers, Todd, McConnell, J. R., and Taylor, Kendrick
Abstract:: We present a new high-precision, high-resolution record of atmospheric methane from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide ice core covering 1000–1800 C.E., a time period known as the late preindustrial Holocene (LPIH). The results are consistent with previous measurements from the Law Dome ice core, the only other high-resolution...

Modes of Global Climate Variability during Marine Isotope Stage 3 (60–26 ka)

Creator:: Pisias, Nicklas G., Clark, Peter U., and Brook, Edward J.
Abstract:: Recent analysis of 38 globally distributed paleoclimatic records covering Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3) 60–26 ka demonstrated that the two leading empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) explaining the data are the Greenland ice-core signal (“northern” signal) and the Antarctic ice-core signal (“southern” signal). Here singular spectral analysis (SSA) is used...

Local artifacts in ice core methane records caused by layered bubble trapping and in situ production: a multi-site investigation

Creator:: Rhodes, Rachael H., Faïn, Xavier, Brook, Edward J., McConnell, Joseph R., Maselli, Olivia J., Sigl, Michael, Edwards, Jon, Buizert, Christo, Blunier, Thomas, Chappellaz, Jérôme, and Freitag, Johannes
Abstract:: Advances in trace gas analysis allow localised, non-atmospheric features to be resolved in ice cores, superimposed on the coherent atmospheric signal. These high-frequency signals could not have survived the low-pass filter effect that gas diffusion in the firn exerts on the atmospheric history and therefore do not result from changes...

Instruments and Methods: A novel method for obtaining very large ancient air samples from ablating glacial ice for analyses of methane radiocarbon

Creator:: Petrenko, Vasilii V., Severinghaus, Jeffrey P., Brook, Edward J., Muhle, Jens, Headly, Melissa, Harth, Christina M., Schaefer, Hinrich, Reeh, Niels, Weiss, Ray F., Lowe, Dave, and Smith, Andrew M.
Abstract:: We present techniques for obtaining large (∼100 L STP) samples of ancient air for analysis of ¹⁴C of methane (¹⁴CH₄) and other trace constituents. Paleoatmospheric ¹⁴CH₄ measurements should constrain the fossil fraction of past methane budgets, as well as provide a definitive test of methane clathrate involvement in large and...

High-resolution glacial and deglacial record of atmospheric methane by continuous-flow and laser spectrometer analysis along the NEEM ice core

Creator:: Chappellaz, J., Stowasser, C., Blunier, T., Baslev-Clausen, D., Brook, Edward J., Dallmayr, R., Fain, X., Lee, J. E., Mitchell, L. E., Pascual, O., Romanini, D., Rosen, J., and Schuepbach, S.
Abstract:: The Greenland NEEM (North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling) operation in 2010 provided the first opportunity to combine trace-gas measurements by laser spectroscopic instruments and continuous-flow analysis along a freshly drilled ice core in a field-based setting. We present the resulting atmospheric methane (CH₄) record covering the time period from 107.7...

High-precision dual-inlet IRMS measurements of the stable isotopes of CO₂ and the N₂O/CO₂ ratio from polar ice core samples

Creator:: Bauska, T. K., Brook, E. J., Mix, A. C., Ross, A., and Brook, Edward J.
Abstract:: An important constraint on mechanisms of past carbon cycle variability is provided by the stable isotopic composition of carbon in atmospheric carbon dioxide (δ¹³C-CO₂) trapped in polar ice cores, but obtaining very precise measurements has proven to be a significant analytical challenge. Here we describe a new technique to determine...

Gases in ice cores

Creator:: Bender, Michael, Sowers, Todd, and Brook, Edward J.
Abstract:: Air trapped in glacial ice offers a means of reconstructing variations in the concentrations of atmospheric gases over time scales ranging from anthropogenic (last 200 yr) to glacial/interglacial (hundreds of thousands of years). In this paper, we review the glaciological processes by which air is trapped in the ice and...

Early to Late Holocene Surface Exposure Ages From Two Marine-Terminating Outlet Glaciers in Northwest Greenland

Creator:: Reusche, Melissa M., Marcott, Shaun A., Ceperley, Elizabeth G., Barth, Aaron M., Brook, Edward J., Mix, Alan C., and Caffee, Marc W.
Abstract:: Terrestrial chronologies from southern Greenland provide a detailed deglacial history of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS). The northern GIS margin history, however, is less established. Here we present surface exposure ages from moraines associated with two large outlet glaciers, Petermann and Humboldt, in the northwestern sector of the GIS. These...

Chronology reconstruction for the disturbed bottom section of the GISP2 and the GRIP ice cores: Implications for Termination II in Greenland

Creator:: Suwa, Makoto, von Fischer, Joseph C., Bender, Michael L., Landais, Amaelle, and Brook, Edward J.
Abstract:: We have reconstructed chronology for the disturbed bottom parts of the GRIP and GISP2 ice cores using the combined paleoatmospheric records of CH₄ concentration and δ¹⁸O[subscript atm] in the trapped gases. Our reconstructed ages for basal ice samples are based on comparison of published measurements of CH₄ and δ¹⁸O[subscript atm]...

Creator:: Ahn, Jinho, Brook, Edward J., Mitchell, Logan, Rosen, Julia, McConnell, Joseph R., Taylor, Kendrick, Etheridge, David, and Rubino, Mauro
Abstract:: We report a decadally resolved record of atmospheric CO₂ concentration for the last 1000 years, obtained from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide shallow ice core. The most prominent feature of the pre-industrial period is a rapid ∼7 ppm decrease of CO₂ in a span of ∼20–50 years at...

Abrupt changes in atmospheric methane at the MIS 5b–5a transition

Creator:: Grachev, Alexi M., Brook, Edward J., and Severinghaus, Jeffrey P.
Abstract:: New ice core analyses show that the prominent rise in atmospheric methane concentration at Dansgaard-Oeschger event 21 was interrupted by a century-long 20% decline, which was previously unrecognized. The reversal was found in a new ∼100-year resolution study of methane in the GISP2 ice core, encompassing the beginning of D-O...

Abrupt change in atmospheric CO₂ during the last ice age

Creator:: Ahn, Jinho, Brook, Edward J., Schmittner, Andreas, and Kreutz, Karl
Abstract:: During the last glacial period atmospheric carbon dioxide and temperature in Antarctica varied in a similar fashion on millennial time scales, but previous work indicates that these changes were gradual. In a detailed analysis of one event we now find that approximately half of the CO₂ increase that occurred during...
