Project information
Project aim
An ice core drilling expedition is proposed for Aurora Basin, between Law Dome and Dome C. This will provide a climate record in excess of 2000 years and will be used to compare coastal and inland Antarctic records. This will improve interpretation of ice core climate records and increase our knowledge of the role of Antarctica in the global climate system.

A compilation of sea salt data from East Antarctic ice cores are used to quantify the contribution of open ocean and sea ice to the sea salt budget. The ice cores used in this study are from Law Dome, Totten Glacier, Wilkes Land and Wilhelm II Land.

Coastal Antarctic sea salt aerosols are partitioned into two main sources, namely ocean sea spray and surface sea ice. The sea spray source is related to windiness over the surface ocean and the action of bubbles bursting.

The Antarctic ice sheet holds a wealth of information on past climate variability, locked away in successive layers buried by further snowfall. In the coastal regions of Antarctica, snowfall rates can be high enough to hold layers of climate data on monthly, or better, time resolution.
