Challenging an ice-core paleothermometer

Article Abstract:

An analysis of temperatures in a Greenland ice-core borehole has challenged the surface-temperature history derived earlier using ice-core oxygen-isotope stratigraphy. The analysis could be useful in calibrating the oxygen-isotope paleothermometer of the ice core.

Paleotopography of glacial-age ice sheets

Article Abstract:

The model of the paleotopography of glacial-age ice sheets suggesting a lower elevation for the northern hemisphere sheet than previously believed should be corrected for tectonic uplift in Papua New Guinea and Barbados.

Dating of the Devils Hole calcite vein

Article Abstract:

A model that would alter the 230Th dating used at Devils Hole, NV, by assuming adsorption of 230Th from groundwater to the walls of the hole during calcite growth is presented.
