While everyone's on their winter break I thought I'd share a great video on how scientists use ice cores to study climate change. The video takes place in Antarctica. The U.S research community is conducting a deep ice coring project in West Antarctica for studies of climate, ice sheet history and cryobiology. This project is collecting a deep ice core from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) ice flow divide and integrating approximately 20 separate but synergistic projects to analyze the ice and interpret the records.
Enjoy and let me know what you think!
Thanks! Megan
