Ice Cores

Ice cores and other paleoclimate records, such as tree rings and fossils, enable scientists to reconstruct past climates. By preserving evidence of ancient temperatures and greenhouse gases, ice cores show scientists how much our planet has changed.
East Greenland Ice-core Project (EastGRIP) was an international science station and drilling camp on the Greenlandic ice sheet (76N 36W), led by the University of Copenhagen, with the logistics coordinated by the Danish Centre for Ice and Climate. The team at EastGRIP drilled through 2650 meters of ice dating back 120,000 years to glean new knowledge of ice-sheet dynamics and how fast-flowing ice streams will contribute to sea-level rise. For this series, I have also documented what happens with the ice cores once they are brought to Europe; I have followed scientists from the Alfred Wegner Institute and Niels Bohr Institute.
