Affiliation(s) PI Project period Funded by
DHS Edwards, Peter R. 06/01/2008 - 05/31/2011 National Science Foundation

Project Description

The primary objective of the project is to use the main WAIS Divide ice core to develop a record of seasonal Southern Hemisphere biomass burning over the past 2,000 years. We intend for the research to serve as a waypoint to the eventual analysis of the entire core.
