Comment:
Accumulation rate values were calculated de-straining the depth-age scale of Meese, Sowers, et al. 3 Versions correspond to 3 different ice dynamics situations, as described in Cuffey and Clow (1997). Each one assumes a different value for the retreat distance of the ice sheet margin during the deglaciation.

| # | Name | Short Name | Unit | Principal Investigator | Method/Device | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AGE | Age | ka BP | Geocode | ||
| 2 | Accumulation of snow/ice per year | Acc rate | cm/a | Cuffey, Kurt M | see reference(s) | ice-equivalent accumulation rate, calculated assuming a 50 kilometer retreat of the ice sheet margin during deglaciation |
| 3 | Accumulation of snow/ice per year | Acc rate | cm/a | Cuffey, Kurt M | see reference(s) | ice-equivalent accumulation rate, calculated assuming a 100 kilometer retreat of the ice sheet margin during deglaciation. |
| 4 | Accumulation of snow/ice per year | Acc rate | cm/a | Cuffey, Kurt M | see reference(s) | ice-equivalent accumulation rate, calculated assuming a 200 kilometer retreat of the ice sheet margin during deglaciation; this is probably the most accurate of the three |
