Paleoenvironmental records from the Quelccaya ice cap, Peru and preliminary results from the Dunde ice cap, China [abstract]

EXTRACT (SEE PDF FOR FULL ABSTRACT):The 1000 year records of particulate deposition (soluble and insoluble), oxygen isotopic ratios, and net accumulation from the Quelccaya ice cap are presented. The net accumulation record from Quelccaya is shown to serve as a reasonable proxy for the water levels in Lake Titicaca. ... The ice core record from the Dunde ice cap offers the potential to reconstruct a very detailed history of environmental conditions on theTibetan Plateau for the last 3000 years.
