138 CHAPTER 3. TERRESTRIAL SYSTEMS controlled by the near surface and near bed-rock glacier dynamics). Based on external collaborations, dedicated atmospheric observations are deployed here at various alpine (Preunkert and Wagenbach, 1998) and Antarctic sites (Wagenbach et al. 1998, Piel et al. 2005, which also include isotopic fingerprints of aerosol samples ( 15 N, 14 C, 26 Al). Within the glaciological issue, joint efforts range from ground penetrating radar soundings of the internal stratigraphy in alpine glaciers (Eisen et al. 2003) and related glacio-meterological and glacio-chemical surveys, to the prospection of novel dating techniques ( 3 He/ 4 He (Friedrich, 2003), 14 C, 26 Al/ 10 Be). Overview on principal activities and achievements Alpine research a) EU- ALP-IMP related: Long term isotope records from two deep Mt. Blanc cores could be added to the already existing array of respective Monte Rosa records, enhancing the significance in the reconstruction of climate related changes (see 3.2.4). Site selection study of ideal drill site for high resolution records back to 1000 years by radar tracking of the internal layering by University Zürich (Böhlert, 2005) and drilling there to bedrock in collaboration with KUP of University Bern could be successfully achieved. First estimates indicate a net surface accumulation of the new site, significantly lower than 15 cm water per year, which may offer a relatively high time resolution in the bottom core section. A further intensive field campaign for sampling a special non-temperated ice cap at lower altitude was performed in collaboration with university Zürich, in order to prospect the basic stratigraphycal properties of this ice body (see 3.2.1) . b) EU-CARBOSOL project related: The first continuous records into the pre-industrial area of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) could be established (partly in seasonal resolution) (see 3.2.5). Also aimed at the long term change of the organic fraction of the aerosol body, the first radiocarbon investigations on european wide aerosol samples could be accomplished after final revision of the sample preparation line (see 3.2.2). Antarctica a) Related to EPICA: Field sampling of bottom core for He-isotope analyses could be accomplished at Berkner Island and at EPICA Dome C (actually the oldest ice available) drill sites. Respective mass spectrometric analyses by the ”Groundwater and Paleoclimate” group, along with noble gas ice core samples obtained from the previous campaigns are expected to come up in the near future. Investigation of the air firn transfer of 10 Be (and associated host particles) were extended from investigations at the central EPICA DML drill site(Piel et al. 2005) by a bi-annual record from a recent firn core obtained from coastal Berkner Island. In this context long term observations of atmospheric radionuclides at Neumayer Station were regularly continued (see 3.2.3). b)The Lake Vostok: Additional ice samples of the Vostok bottom ice core (accreted from Lake Vostok) as well as meteoric reference ice were obtained from LGGE-CRNS. Grenoble and analysed for dissolved organic Carbon, confirming the outstanding low DOC level, already obtained in previous pilot analyses (Bulat et al.2004) (see 3.2.5) c) New developments focussed on the extension of automatic aerosol sampling in central Antarctica and on the prospection of the 26 Al/ 10 Be dating tool, to be deployed for very old ice. (see 3.2.6) Novel activities envisaged in the following year Launching a radiocarbon dating project focussing on various non-temperated Alpine ice bodies (with VERA and University Zürich). Supplementing continuous flow ice core analyses by a screening method for the total gas content, as to infer the melt-layer stratigraphy (with Groundwater and Paleoclimate Group) Pilot studies on the Little Ice Age variability of 10 Be possibly archived in a new sediment core recovered from the well explored high alpine Schwarzsee ob Sölden (with University Innsbruck and Heidelberg Academy of Sciences) Re-designing of the Air Chemistry Observatory at the Antarctic Neumayer Station III (with AWI and the Carbon Cycle Group) Funding and major cooperations Funding relayed on the EU-projects CARBOSOL (Anthropogenic change of organic carbon aerosol in West- Europe)and ALP-IMP (Climate variability in the greater Alpine region), the AWI-Cooperation contract (Investigation of ice cores and aerosol of polar
3.2. ICE AND CLIMATE 139 regions) and on an Austrian Research Fund project jointly with VERA ( 26 Al- 10 Be investigations). Important logistical support was obtained from the ESF-EU core project EPICA (European Ice Drilling in Antarctica). Vital long term collaborations (also operating outside funding projects) comprised joint activities with: • Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (various polar investigations), • Laboratoire de Glaciolocique et Geophisique-CRNS, Grenoble (alpine ice cores and Lake Vostok), • Geographical Institute of the University Zürich (alpine glaciology and glacio-meteorology) • Klima und Umweltphysik, University Bern (ice core drilling and analyses), • VERA-laboratory, Institut für Isotopenforschung und Kernphysik der Universität Wien (AMSanalyses) • Institute for Zoology and Limnology, University Innsbruck (ice biology and high alpine lake sediments), • British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge (Berkner Island Project) • Institute for Environmental Geochemistry, University Heidelberg (trace element analyses) Internal collaboration concentrates on: the Neumayer Observatory, 14 C and radon investigations (Carbon Cycle Group), noble gas and tritium analyses (Groundwater and Paleoclimate Group) as well as on long term marine 10 Be sediment records (Heidelberger Academy of Sciences).
