2. New mission for 1.5 million year climate record

   This week a team of European researchers announces its plans for an ambitious mission to find the oldest ice on Earth (9 April 2019).  Antarctica’s ice has the potential to […]

4. Arctic sea ice loss in past linked to abrupt climate events

   A new study on ice cores shows that reductions in sea ice in the Arctic in the period between 30-100,000 years ago led to major climate events. During this period, […]

6. Study shows melting ice sheets will disrupt climate

   Water entering the oceans from melting ice sheets could cause extreme weather and a change in ocean circulation not currently accounted for in global climate policies, a new study published […]
