Microfossils in Polar Ice Cores: A Beginner's Manual for Pollen, Spore, and Microscopic Charcoal Analysis

  • 1. Desert Research Institute & Montana State University
  • 2. Desert Research Institute

Description

This manual provides an introduction to microfossil analyses from polar ice cores including a picture library of common pollen and spore types found in East Greenland ice (RECAP site).

Notes

This manual is based on the workshop "Microfossils in Polar Ice - IPA Workshop Ice Palynology", 4.-5. April 2022 held at Desert Research Institute, Reno, Nevada. We are grateful to the University of Copenhagen for providing RECAP ice for the microfossil analyses of this project. We thank Aneeta Regi for her help with the microfossil pictures. We acknowledge funding from IPA (Internal Institute Project Assignments of Desert research Institute) grant awarded to Sandra O. Brugger.
