Comparing the Kobashi and Alley Central Greenland Temperature Reconstructions

By Andy May In 2000, Richard Alley released an ice core temperature reconstruction for Central Greenland using Oxygen isotope ratios. He describes the technique used here. I used this ice core proxy data in a previous post “Climate and Civilization for the past 4,000 years.” Since Alley’s data stops at 1855, I spliced the GreenlandContinue reading “Comparing the Kobashi and Alley Central Greenland Temperature Reconstructions”
