MARC recordPotential for basal melting under the Summit coring site, central Greenland (abstract) / John Firestone, E.D. Waddington, J. Cunningham.
| Title: | Potential for basal melting under the Summit coring site, central Greenland (abstract) / John Firestone, E.D. Waddington, J. Cunningham. |
| Author(s): | Firestone, John. Waddington, E. D. Cunningham, J. |
| Date: | 1990. |
| In: | Annals of Glaciology. (1990.), Vol. 14 (1990) |
| Abstract: | Climatic record from Greenland bore holes may extend beyond last interglacial only if basal ice near drilling site has never reached its pressure melting point (-2°C). Results of analysis of measurements from Summit site showed that basal ice does not melt if geothermal flux is <54 mW m⁻², using same mass balance and temperature histories as previous study at Crête where value of 48 mW m⁻² was estimated. |
| Notes: | Annals of Glaciology. Vol. 14 :334 (1990). |
