Extraction of Dissolved Organic Carbon from Glacier Ice for Radiocarbon Analysis
Alpine glaciers are valuable archives for the reconstruction of human impact on the environment. Besides dating purposes, measurement of radiocarbon ( 14 C) content provides a powerful tool for long-term source apportionment studies on the carbonaceous aerosols incorporated in ice cores. In this work, we present an extraction system for 14 C analyses of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in ice cores. The setup can process ice samples of up to 350 g …
