Palaeotemperature reconstruction from noble gases in ground water taking into account equilibration with entrapped air
Noble-gas concentrations in ground water have been used as a proxy for past air temperatures 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , but the accuracy of this approach has been limited by the existence of a temperature-independent component of the noble gases in ground water, termed ‘excess air’, whose origin an...
