The Dye3 core was drilled at Dye3 (65°11’N, 43°50’W) in 1979 – 1981. The core has been analyzed for numerous components over the last decades. We measured remaining sections, the Younger Dryas and a larger portion of the last glacial, in a continuous flow setup in fall 2019. Here we focus on gas measurements. We measured methane, δ15N, δ40Ar, and the elemental ratio of Ar and N2. We present the continuous flow setup for measuring those components in parallel and first results with a focus on the exact timing of changes in methane and δ15N and δ40Ar at the Younger Dryas and Dansgaard-Oeschger transitions.
