Holocene climate and ice-shelf history on James Ross Island

Posted on 23/08/2012 by Bethan Davies
Reply

A paper in this weeks’ Nature by Mulvaney et al. 2012 suggested that the climate around the Antarctic Peninsula has varied extensively over the Holocene. This data is derived from a 363.9 m ice core from the Mount Haddington Ice Cap on James Ross Island. Continue reading →
