Scientists from Ohio State University drilled into the ice and pulled out core samples in 2000 that contained nearly 12,000 ...
Much of Earth's heat uptake is passed to the ocean, making ocean heat content key for understanding long-term climate ...
In collaboration with Laboratoire des Science du Climat et de l’Environnement, France, the PICE team has studied the ancient air trapped inside tiny air bubbles in an Antarctic ice core.
Bengaluru: Virologists from the United States, who collected ice core samples from the Guliya Glacier in the Tibetan plateau, have discovered the genomes of over 1,700 ancient viruses, with the ...
An curved arrow pointing right. The US government removes ice from places like Antarctica and Greenland and brings it to the National Ice Core Laboratory in Colorado. There, the ice is kept in a ...
The Ice Core Excavator (ICE) is an undergraduate-student designed payload for a commercial quadcopter drone. ICE is a tool for climate scientists studying snow algae, black carbon, and other surface ...
The extracted ice core harbors data such as historical atmospheric temperatures, as well as incredibly preserved samples of air – and the greenhouse gases within it – spanning thousands of years.
But cores collected from the edge of the continent ... those fluctuations used to be much smaller than they are today. To that end, the ice samples afford researchers a chance to compare today's ...
Caption The team at NEEM celebrates the final core sample collected at bedrock level, or over 8,300 feet beneath the Greenland ice sheet. The multi-year drilling project was a collaboration of ...
The extracted ice cores contain air bubbles, which are a direct sample of 200 year old atmosphere in Antarctica. Dr Thomas Bauska, a research fellow at British Antarctic Survey, demonstrates how ...
Well, scientists have such a time machine. It's called an ice core. Scientists collect ice cores by driving a hollow tube deep into the miles-thick ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland (and in ...
