A NOTE ON THE FILE NAMES: a77, a 79, a84 and a89 refer to 'Agassiz' and the year of drilling
(e.g. a77 was drilled in 1977). Filenames generally contain another identifier such as del for
delta 18-O data, accum for accumulation data, ecm for electrical conductivity data, melt for
melt data, or norm for data that has been normalized. As well, the extension to the filename
will generally give information as to the sampling interval such as .1yr for annual data.

The years given in the years column available on this website are to be considered
illustrative and not definitive. They are linear fits to the data based on information from
David Fisher. These files have been given an age scale for quick reference and graphing
for your convience. However, you must re-apply the appropriate age scale for any
detailed analysis, particularly toward the bottom of the cores where the age scales need to
be streched. See the note from David Fisher for a further explanation.
