10Be concentrations measured in ice samples from Camp Century, Greenland, show short term variations which in general correspond to the 100–200 year “wiggles” in the 14C tree ring record. There is, however, no evidence for a long term variation over the last 5000 years. This constancy is in contrast to the approximately sinusoidal variation of the atmospheric 14C concentration which has generally been attributed to a changing geomagnetic dipole moment. This discrepancy implies that the 14C trend might stem from other causes such as changes of oceanic circulation processes or from higher production rates during the Wisconsin rather than from variation in the geomagnetic field.
