Abstract
We briefly review the application of cosmogenic 10Be measurements in ice and polar atmospheres to: (i) the dating of ice cores, (ii) the deduction of past accumulation rates, (iii) information on the influx of stratospheric aerosols in polar regions, and the mechanism of incorporation of aerosols into the ice. We find that at high latitudes (>74°), the 10Be deposition rate in the ice is more constant than the 10Be concentration.Keywords
