DESCRIPTION:
Taylor Dome Ice Core Data at WDC Paleo include CO2 data from several 
investigators for different subsections of the core, plus stable isotope 
(deuterium and d18O), major ions, methane, and 10Be.


Taylor Dome is a local ice-accumulation area that is part of the East Antarctic ice sheet. 
It is a ridge about 20 by 80 km just inland of the Transantarctic Mountains 
and provides ice to outlet glaciers entering Taylor Valley and McMurdo Sound.
