1.5M-Year-Old Antarctic Ice To Be Melted to Unlock Climate Mystery (Maria) The author writes, “An ice core that may be older than 1.5 million years has arrived in the UK where scientists will melt it to unlock vital information about Earth’s climate. The glassy cylinder is the planet’s oldest ice and was drilled from deep inside the Antarctic ice sheet. Frozen inside is thousands of years of new information that scientists say could ‘revolution…
Thousands of years of new information are frozen there which, according to scientists, can help to understand wind patterns, temperature and sea level more than a million years ago
Frozen in time: oldest Antarctic ice sample used to study climate trends
Researchers in Antarctica have recovered an ice core sample that is over 1.5 million years old. They believe it could hold crucial details about a previously uncharted period in the history of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Greenlandic Ice Cores Chart 12,000 Years of Civilization » Explorersweb
Like the inverse of the mythical butterfly flapping its wings in China, an ice core extracted from Greenland can reveal the rise and fall of societies in European antiquity. A new study took ice cores from the Greenlandic ice sheet and used them to measure the output of lead pollution in Europe. The varying levels of lead pollution corresponded with technological and societal changes. This map illustrates the geographical relationship between an…
