Greenland NEEM ice core records of As, Cd, Cr and Mo during the period of 1820-1970 AD

초록

Greenland snow and ice core records of various trace elements showed that the large .scale atmospheric cycles of these elements have been strongly modified by human activities. However, such snow and ice core records are only available for the very few elements such as lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and thallium (Tl), because concentrations of most of elements in Greenland snow and ice are extremely low at the low and subpg/g level. We here present an annual resolution record of changes in the occurrence of arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo) and Cd from Greenland NEEM ice core samples covering the period from 1820 to1970. To our knowledge, longterm trends of As, Cr, and Mo have never been reconstructed from Greenland ice cores at such a high resolution. Barium (Ba) was also analyzed to calculate the crustal enrichment factors (EFc), using concentration ratios between the four trace elements and Ba in the samples and in the mean upper continental crust. 2000자가 넘으므로 뒷부분 생략(첨부파일 참조)
