Holocene paleo-environmental signals from Akademii Nauk ice cap (Severnaya Zemlya, Russian Arctic)

The project is focused on the analysis of a 724 m long ice core drilled on Akademii Nauk ice cap to bedrock within a joint German-Russian project in 1999 to 2001. Beside stable water isotope rates major ion and black carbon content were measured to get information about the regional climate and environmental history. ¹⁰Be concentration is used to improve the age depth relationship of the core which is up to now based on interpretation of volcanic signals and in between counting of seasonal isotopic cycles only.
