Abstract:
We report high resolution (1 cm depth) sulfur concentrations from the B19 ice core in Greenland analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) and mass concentrations of insoluble particles (5-10um size) using an inline Abakus® laser particle counter at the Desert Research Institute. Details about the analytical procedures are provided in the references. These records are used alongside ice-core crypto-tephra to characterize volcanic eruption sources in the 1660s CE.
