Deciphering stable water isotope records of firn cores from a strongly maritime, high-accumulation site on the Antarctic Peninsula by Kirstin Hoffmann-Abdi, Hanno Meyer, Francisco Fernandoy, Johannes Freitag, Fyntan M. Shaw, Martin Werner, Elizabeth R. Thomas, Joseph R. McConnell, Christoph Schneider
