Modelled age-depth profile at location of the Beyond EPICA drill site (BELDC) based on the sledge-borne DEep LOoking Radio Echo Sounder (DELORES) survey

We used a 1D numerical model constrained by radar horizons to find the age-depth profile at the European Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice project drill site (BELDC; 75.29917 °S, 122.44516 °E) on Little Dome C (LDC), Antarctica. Further details on the model can be found in the associated publication: Chung et al., 2023 (The Cryosphere). The model was constrained by 20 horizons from the radar survey conducted over the Dome C region conducted by the British Antarctic Survey over the 2016-17 and 2017-18 Antarctic field seasons using the sledge-borne DEep LOoking Radio Echo Sounder (DELORES; Mulvaney et al., 2023). The age-depth profile extends to the deepest point where modelled age density < 20 ka/m - the threshold for which a paleoclimatic signal can reasonably be extracted.
