Abstract
The determination of D/H and O-18/O-16 isotopic ratios in ice accumula ted in polar regions allows us to reconstruct pst temperature changes over glacial-interglacial cycles. They are also used to estimate past accumulation changes and thus the age of the ice with respect to depth . In addition, they can give additional information about the origin o f polar precipitations.
