Glaciologists study the rate at which ice flows in different places. It flows at different rates in different places. The climate is different in different places. Scientists are aware of these rates when they drill ice cores.

Not really, many of them never consider flow, they don't seem to be aware of it. Kind of a bit of contention there among people who study this stuff.

What percentage of glaciologists don't account for glacial flow when taking ice core samples? Could you provide a list of research reports on ice cores that show the flow of the ice was not taken into account during sampling?
If you are not using research reports as a basis for your statement, what are you using to determine that many glaciologists don't account for ice movement in making their conclusions in regard to their research?

Not off the cuff, dear. Perhaps you should take up your argument with the US Geological Survey. Or at least read the link I posted above to their Alaska glacier faq page.
They were writing specifically about Alaska glaciers and even stated that other glaciers and ice caps were different. To wit: "NOTE: There is "really old" ice near the bases of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and in a few special places in the world’s mountains."
Besides that, what do you think the USGS did to determine the age of the ice within glaciers that have been around since before people lived in that area of Alaska? What did they look at to tell how old the ice was?

Perhaps data that appears to correlate in varves or tree rings is simply wishful thinking. Perhaps climate in places is not all that different from year to year. Perhaps even the earth itself for some strange reason in some strange places, unbeknownst to the people sitting in the hotsprings drinking their margueritas, is separated from the core of the earth and truly is frozen, which is why ice never melts in that peculiar spot... And a plane under 250 feet of thousands of year old ice is a scientific miracle!
RAZD has shown that the varves, ice cores, and tree rings show very detailed correlations with each other. So it is not wishful thinking unless you can provide a young earth explanation about the correlation such that the rings, varves, and ice layers don't actually mark yearly passage of time.

He also used the yearly accumulation of snow and a little math to show that the planes should have been under a lot of ice. Also, the layers reported by the explorer were analyzed by scientists and shown to differ from annual layers in that they showed indications of melting at the layer boundaries which isn't present in an actual annual layer boundary.

Things are really going to come to a head when AL goes around to all those mountain top hot spring resorts and tries to shut them ice melting filthy CO2 generators down, tellin ya.

I am not following your line of thinking here. Who's AL?
