Science Daily  February 16, 2023 The objective of EPICA [European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica] is to look back 1.5 million years into the past and obtain data on the development of temperature, the composition of the atmosphere and the carbon cycle. A depth of around 2700 meters must be reached in the Antarctic ice sheet and an ice core recovered which they plan to accomplish by 2025. In the 1.5-million-year-old ice, 15,000 to 20,000 years of climate history are compressed into just one meter of ice core, which places completely new demands on ice core analyzes. Researchers in […]
