Scientists seeking an intact ice core stretching back 1.5 million years have found what they think could be a Rosetta stone ...

A team headed by Jacob Chalif and Professor Erich Osterberg of Dartmouth College, analyzed ice cores from Alaska and Greenland. They discovered an unexpected decline in methanesulfonic acid (MSA ...

The first ice core drilling campaign of Beyond Epica-Oldest Ice has been successfully completed at the remote Little Dome C site in Antarctica – one of the most extreme places on Earth.

A new study on ice cores from Alaska and Greenland found that air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels reaches the remote Arctic in amounts large enough to alter its fundamental atmospheric ...

The heart of Greenland has recently been green. A two-mile-deep ice core from the very center of Greenland’s ice sheet in Summit, Greenland, produced a fossil assemblage containing an insect’s ...

Warming winters are making ice more dangerous, a new analysis suggests. The research, published in Nature Reviews Earth & ...

Ice cores have been collected by the British Antarctic Survey and include samples dating back 800,000 years. Professor Iain Stewart visits the cold store in Cambridge where scientists use these ...

From ice cores extracted from the Tibetan Plateau, scientists recovered the equivalent of 1,705 virus species. Reading their genomes tells the story of 41,000 years of climate change.

A Dartmouth-led study on ice cores from Alaska and Greenland found that air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels reaches the remote Arctic in amounts large enough to alter its fundamental ...
