Atmospheric depletion of mercury over Antarctica during glacial periods
Mercury is a globally dispersed toxic metal that affects even remote polar areas. During seasonal atmospheric mercury depletion events in polar areas, mercury is removed from the atmosphere1,2 and subsequently deposited in the surface snows3. However, it is unknown whether these events, which have been documented for the past two decades, have occurred in the past. Here we show that over the pa...
متن کاملMethyl chloride in a deep ice core from Siple Dome, Antarctica
[1] Methyl chloride (CH3Cl) is a naturally occurring ozone-depleting substance and a significant component of the atmospheric chlorine burden. In this study CH3Cl was analyzed in air bubbles from the West Antarctic Siple Dome deep ice core with gas ages ranging from about 65 kyr BP to the Late Holocene. CH3Cl levels were below the modern Antarctic atmospheric level of 530 ppt in glacial ice (45...
متن کاملTALDICE-1 age scale of the Talos Dome deep ice core, East Antarctica
A new deep ice core drilling program, TALDICE, has been successfully handled by a European team at Talos Dome, in the Ross Sea sector of East Antarctica, down to 1620 m depth. Using stratigraphic markers and a new inverse method, we produce the first official chronology of the ice core, called TALDICE-1. We show that it notably improves an a priori chronology resulting from a one-dimensional ic...
متن کاملThe EDC3 chronology for the EPICA Dome C ice core
The EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) Dome C drilling in East Antarctica has now been completed to a depth of 3260 m, at only a few meters above bedrock. Here we present the new EDC3 chronology, which is based on the use of 1) a snow accumulation and mechanical flow model, and 2) a set of independent age markers along the core. These are obtained by pattern matching of recor...
متن کاملMethyl chloride variability in the Taylor Dome ice core during the Holocene
[1] Methyl chloride (CH3Cl) is a naturally occurring, ozone-depleting trace gas and one of the most abundant chlorinated compounds in the atmosphere. CH3Cl was measured in air from the Taylor Dome ice core in East Antarctica to reconstruct an atmospheric record for the Holocene (11–0 kyr B.P.) and part of the last glacial period (50–30 kyr B.P.). CH3Cl variability throughout the Holocene is str...
