What percentage of glaciologists don't account for glacial flow when taking ice core samples? Could you provide a list of research reports on ice cores that show the flow of the ice was not taken into account during sampling?
If you are not using research reports as a basis for your statement, what are you using to determine that many glaciologists don't account for ice movement in making their conclusions in regard to their research?


apparently quite a few of them, I ran into papers written by researchers arguing against this type of research in a brief 15 minute search on the net just yesterday, you should try it. i don't save every link, it would be real tiring and my posts would be way too long and sometimes I get the impression that some people only read the first five sentences of any post anyway..

They were writing specifically about Alaska glaciers and even stated that other glaciers and ice caps were different. To wit: "NOTE: There is "really old" ice near the bases of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and in a few special places in the world’s mountains."


How old exactly? Near the bases btw, not at the base and disincluding the whole of the main parts of the glaciers. I think you missed what they were saying there. And permafrost perchance? How old exactly?

Besides that, what do you think the USGS did to determine the age of the ice within glaciers that have been around since before people lived in that area of Alaska? What did they look at to tell how old the ice was?


I don't know why don't you ask them?

I am not following your line of thinking here. Who's AL?


I don't know.
