“We have a strong indication that the uppermost 2,480 meters contain a climate record that goes back to 1.2 million years in a high-resolution record where up to 13,000 years are compressed into one ...

Led by The Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy (ISP-CNR), the scientists worked for more than 200 days, drilling into the ice and processing the ice core at a remote ...

“This record of 1.2 million years will give us several ... gases and ice sheet dynamics,” he said. “The Beyond EPICA ice core offers an unprecedented opportunity to directly measure ...

During the Cold War, the U.S. built a military base under the ice in Greenland, hidden from the Soviets. It was eventually abandoned, but its most lasting legacy is a pivotal role in climate science.

For the first time, an international team of researchers has shown that countless tiny ice quakes take place in one of ...

A colossal ice core sample drilled in Antarctica may contain the oldest, unbroken timeline of Earth's climate, stretching back more than a million years.

The great ice streams of the Antarctic and Greenland are like frozen rivers, carrying ice from the massive inland ice sheets ...
