Abstract
The 18 curve from the 1390 m long ice core from Camp Century, Greenland, shows climatic changes that are easily correlated with known glacial and non-glacial events of North America and north Europe and are thus indirectly dated. With a known chronology, the glacial dynamic changes of the Greenland Ice Sheet can be calculated for the last 125,000 years. It is concluded that the dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet have changed drastically during this period and that these changes are directly related to major changes of climate and extension of the Wisconsin and Weichselian glaciations. Logarithmic time scales earlier applied to this curve must therefore be incorrect.Keywords
