Abstract

Past atmospheric sulfate content is probably recorded in polar snow and ice. A simple method based on electrical conductivity measurements on ice cores has been proposed recently to easily detect atmospheric sulfate changes caused by violent volcanic eruptions in the past. We show that this method is particularly useful when used in central polar areas but that its application must be done carefully when analyzing coastal or bedrock ices for which aging effects are able to seriously disturb their electrical properties.
