Ice cores are invaluable archives of Earth's climate history. They offer a detailed and comprehensive and continues record of past climate variability.
Studying ice core records is essential for understanding the mechanisms and drivers of climate change and improving our ability to predict future climate trends.

THE SCIENCE
THE LOGISTICS
The most recent ice core from EastGRIP is 2,670 meters long and dates back 120,000 years.


It provides scientists with new knowledge of ice-sheet dynamics and how fast-flowing ice streams will contribute to sea-level rise.
