The Australian ice core programme: history, context, and bibliometric analysis

Figures & data

Figure 1. Australian ice core sites within the AAT. The locations for these cores were collected from the 1972–2022 publication database. Additional cores were found using the Australian Antarctic data centre, university theses, and the Bureau of meteorology. Note that due to the proximity of cores at some sites (e.g Law Dome), individual names of cores may not be indicated. These individual cores can be found in the supplementary material.

Figure 2. Locations of national collaborators based on affiliations determined by the 1972–2022 publication database, with each circle denoting an institution.

Figure 3. Instances of funding, not a quantum. Funding instances were collected from the acknowledgement sections, and where instances were not mentioned, authors’ affiliations were the assumed funding institutions. Funding instances reflect the 1972–2022 publication database and do not necessarily reflect the current funding trends in ice core research across the AAT.
