Abstract
Ice core records from Law Dome in East Antarctica collected over the last four decades provide highresolution
data for studies of the climate of Antarctica, Australia, and the Southern and Indo-Pacific oceans. Here,
we present a set of annually dated records of trace chemistry, stable water isotopes and snow accumulation from
Law Dome covering the period from 11 to 2017 CE (1961 to 66 BP 1950) and the level-1 chemistry data
from which the annual chemistry records are derived. Law Dome ice core records have been used extensively
in studies of the past climate of the Southern Hemisphere and in large-scale data syntheses and reconstructions
in a region where few records exist, especially at high temporal resolution. This dataset provides an update and
extensions both forward and back in time of previously published subsets of the data, bringing them together into
a coherent set with improved dating to enable continued use of this record. The data are available for download
from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre at https://doi.org/10.26179/5zm0-v192 (Curran et al., 2021).
