Volcanic synchronisation between the EPICA Dome C 
and Vostok ice cores (Antarctica) 0-145 kyr BP.

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>This study aims at refining the synchronisation between the EPICA 
Dome C (EDC) and Vostok ice cores in the time interval 0-145 kyr BP 
by using the volcanic signatures. 111 common volcanic events were 
identified by using continuous electrical conductivity (ECM), 
di-electrical profiling (DEP) and sulfate measurements while 
trying to minimize the distortion of the glaciological chronologies. 
This is an update and a continuation of previous works performed 
over the 0-45 kyr interval which provided 56 tie points to the 
ice core chronologies (Udisti et al., 2004). This synchronisation 
will serve for the establishment of the next synchronised Antarctic 
dating. A change of slope in the EDC-depth/Vostok-depth diagram 
is probably related to a change of accumulation regime as well as 
to a change of ice thickness upstream of the Vostok lake, but we
did not invoke any significant temporal change of surface 
accumulation at EDC relative to Vostok. A significant phase 
difference is detected between the EDC and Vostok isotopic records 
during the 95-120 kyr interval, but not during Termination II. 
Three possible candidates for the Toba volcanic super-eruption 
~73 kyr ago are suggested in the Vostok and EDC volcanic records. 
However the ECM, DEP and sulfate fingerprints for these three 
events are not significantly larger than many others in the records.
 
          STUDY NOTES: Dielectric Profiling (DEP) data from two ice cores (EDC96 and EDC99) 
collected at Dome C, Antarctica by the European Project for Ice Coring 
in Antarctica (EPICA). From the dielectric profiler (DEP), this is the 
dataset of 100 kHz conductivity, measured in the field at temperatures 
of –20+/-2 degrees C, and corrected to a temperature of –15 degrees C.  
Data were measured at 2 cm resolution, and have been cleaned 
of data points where core was broken or partially missing.
