The ICWG has selected a group of ice cores that have been placed on a de-accession list. These ice cores are generally older cores and have received minimal scientific interest in the last 10 years. These cores are available to any qualified investigator for testing analytical procedures, method development, outreach activities, and other scientific studies. The Ice Core Distribution Policy outlines the procedure for obtaining samples from these cores.
To learn more about these cores please contact Mark Twickler:
