A millennial perspective on Arctic warming from 14C in quartz and plants emerging from beneath ice caps
Description: Observational records show that the area of ice caps on northern Baffin Island, Arctic Canada has diminished by more than 50% since 1958. Fifty 14C dates on dead vegetation emerging beneath receding ice margins document the persistence of some of these ice caps since at least 350 AD.
