Abstract

A dry extraction method was used to obtain trapped CO₂ of 2-5 kg ice samples from a blue ice zone in East Antarctica. In situ produced ¹⁴C was also extracted in ¹⁴CO₂ and ¹⁴CO concentrations at a ratio of 3.4 ± 0.9. Correction of trapped ¹⁴CO₂ from in situ resulted in ice dates in the range 5-15 ka. The realistic rates for accumulation and ablation of ice indicate about total efficiency of extraction.
