This award support one element of the second Greenland Ice Sheet                Project (GISP2).  The objective of GISP2 is the retrieval and                   analysis of a deep ice core from central Greenland.  Insoluble                  particulates in selected samples will be analyzed for mass                      concentration, size distribution, chemical composition and                      morphology.  Sampling will be coordinated with investigators                    working on other analytical techniques (specifically ECM/Laser                  Particles and Ice Chemistry) in order to identify the most                      important sections of the core for detailed study.  The insoluble               particulate concentration of ice samples from the GISP2 core will               provide important information about not only the particulate                    loading of the atmosphere in the past but also temperature,                     radiation balance, global aridity, wind strength and circulation                patterns.                                                                                                                                                       Superimposed upon the "background" concentrations of continental                dust associated with changes in climate will be elevated particle               concentrations from sporadic events such as volcanic eruptions.                 In addition to providing information about the temporal variations              in the concentration and type of particulates deposited on the                  Greenland ice sheet, in conjunction with others, should also                    provide insight to the relationship between volcanism and climate.
