Firn cores collected along the scientific traverse EAIIST

Here we present the firn cores collected along the international EAIIST project traverse, which took place in 2019-2020 Antarctic Campaign. We report the number of firn cores collected, the depth of the samplings and their geographic information.

Purpose

The objective of the ice core collection is the paleoclimate reconstructions of the recent period (200-300 years) using multiple firn cores for reducing the stratigraphic noise.

Statement

The firn cores have been drilled in the frame of the EAIIST project during the austral summer 2019/2020. The cores have been transported to EU at -20°C and stored at -20°C in Italy at the EUROCOLD facility at the University of Milano Bicocca. The cores have been processed, cut and the samples distributed to the different laboratories involved. The analyses are underway.
