From the original catalog copy: A deep rotary core drilling project in 1957 on the Greenland ice sheet provided ice core to a depth of 411 meters. The vertical variation in bulk density, macroscopic structure, oxygen isotope ratios, ionic constituents, and extraterrestrial dust was analyzed using both field and laboratory techniques. These datya permit the direct estimate of annual accumulation layers in the core. Accumulation data and other physical and chemical evidence allow climatological inferences to be made over the ten-century profile.
