General Information
The Fremont Glacier is located in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. Two cores are in the ICF inventory, one drilled in 1998 (FRE98-4) and the other drilled in 1991 (FRE91-1). Both cores are 8 cm in diameter and were drilled by the USGS. The period of record in the 1998 core is ~1746-1998 AD. The period of record in the 1991 core is ~1717-1991 AD. Limited samples remain from both cores.
