High-precision dual-inlet IRMS measurements of the stable isotopes of CO<sub>2</sub> and the N<sub>2</sub>O / CO<sub>2</sub> ratio from polar ice core samples

An important constraint on mechanisms of past carbon cycle variability is provided by the stable isotopic composition of carbon in atmospheric carbon dioxide (δ<sup>13</sup>C-CO<sub>2</sub>) trapped in polar ice cores, but obtaining very precise measurements has proven to...
