New research from the University of St Andrews has precisely dated an eruption from Newberry Volcano and discovered that its ...

Members of the scientific expedition team conduct ice core drilling near the C2 camp at an altitude of 6,200 meters on Mount ...

As climate change continues to be a pressing global issue, scientists are racing against time to analyze Earth’s oldest ice cores. These ancient frozen archives hold invaluable data that could unlock ...

Ice cores serve as time‐resolved archives of past atmospheric composition, preserving chemical species deposited through snow accumulation and atmospheric transport. Analyses of ions, trace elements ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Ancient sediment pulled from nearly a mile below the Greenland ice sheet — and later stored for roughly two decades at the University at Buffalo, whose researchers are still studying ...

Ice cores extracted from polar and high-altitude glaciers constitute layered archives of past environmental conditions. Seasonal snowfall traps dust, aerosols, biological particles and air bubbles, ...

After years as a professional research assistant at INSTAAR’s stable isotope lab, Valerie Morris estimates she’s processed more than 10 kilometers of ice from around the world. “You’ve done more ice ...

Researchers are looking into our planet’s past to understand its future. Just like archaeologists investigate layers of dirt for ancient artifacts, geologists analyze layers in cores—tube-shaped ...

Ancient sediment pulled from nearly a mile below the Greenland ice sheet — and later stored for roughly two decades at UB, whose researchers are still studying it today — is the focus of a new film.

A study in Nature Geoscience reveals that changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) closely tracked marine algae growth in the Southern Ocean over previous glacial cycles, but not in the way ...

A new study from Chloe Brashear, Tyler Jones and others suggests abrupt warming events were preceded by periods of unusually stable temperatures during the last ice age. The researchers point toward ...
