Ice-core record of atmospheric methane over the past 160,000 years

Methane measurements along the Vostok ice core reveal substantial changes over the past 160,000 years which are associated with climate fluctuations. These results point to changes in sources of methane and also show that methane has probably contributed, like carbon dioxide, to glacial-interglacial...

Zusammenfassung:Methane measurements along the Vostok ice core reveal substantial changes over the past 160,000 years which are associated with climate fluctuations. These results point to changes in sources of methane and also show that methane has probably contributed, like carbon dioxide, to glacial-interglacial temperature changes.
