Brief description
This collection includes ice cores and associated air samples from Antarctica and Greenland. Ice cores are collected from various sites including Law Dome Antarctica. Data files are kept on depth, age, chemical composition and gas compositions of the ice cores. The ice cores samples are archived and stored at Breeze Logistics (Cold Storage), Clayton, VIC. These samples are part of a series including Australian Antarctic Division Ice Cores (Hobart)and Greenland Ice Cores (Copenhagen). The data associated with this collection can be accessed through the World Data Center(WDC) for Paleoclimatology http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/wdc/usa/paleo.html.Lineage
