General Information
Large-diameter (24.1 cm) cores drilled with the Blue Ice Drill were collected in 2013 along a transect on the Taylor Glacier by PI Sarah Aciego and transferred to the University of Michigan. PI Aciego moved from the University of Michigan and the cores were transferred to the NSF-ICF in 2018. The cores are between 50-100 cm in length and from ~6 meters deep. The transect is well-dated and the cores range from ~44,000 to 9,000 yBP. Download the Taylor Glacier BID spreadsheet for a list of the cores in the NSF-ICF inventory. For more information, please contact the NSF-ICF Science Management Office by email at nsf.icf.smo @unh.edu.
