An investigation was made of the extent to which stable and radioactive isotopes (3H, 18O, 210Pb, 137Cs and 90Sr) can be used to determine accumulation rates and ages of temperate glaciers in the Alps. The 3H and 18O data obtained from Jungfraujoch Glacier cores (3470 m a.s.l.) indicate that the seasonal variations, as they are observed in precipitation, collected at the time of fall, are not preserved. In addition, unexpectedly strong horizontal variations in isotopic concentrations have been found. Based on bomb-produced radio-isotope layers, an average accumulation rate of 60 cm water equivalent has been determined. In ice cores from the Plaine Morte Glacier (2750 m a.s.l.), too, no seasonal variations could be found. Average accumulatio...
