The core samples drilled by Riddell-Young's team contain a timeline of ice and air spanning 67,000 years. They used mass spectrometry to decode this geological cypher, written in isotopes of methane.

Studies of the original EPICA core showed that Earth’s climate experienced a 100,000-year cycle of cold glacial periods, or ice ages, interspersed with warmer periods. But this finding didn’t ...

Humans have been recording the weather for thousands of years. Antarctic ice, however, has been at it for over a million. An international team of scientists has extracted a 1.74-mile-long (2.8 ...

A detailed timeline of a protest in downtown, against ICE detainment, highlighting key events and law enforcement's response.

The ice cores are due to be shipped there at the end of 2025, where they will be stored in insulated boxes to keep the temperature steady. Such a cave should be stable for at least a decade, ...

A team retrieved a 9,186-foot-long (2,800-meter) ice core from Antarctica that's nearly as long as 25 soccer fields end-to-end. PNRA/IPEV A research team has collected what may be among the oldest ...

While the scientist isn’t able to reveal too much of the findings so far, she does note that the ice core is “pretty exceptional”. “This will be an unbelievable high-resolution record that’s able to ...

But while the ice has accumulated for centuries, the task of retrieving it must be done on a tight timeline to capture the entire ice core while the location is accessible. Open this photo in gallery: ...
