Can anyone give me information on ice cores?
Ice cores are cylindrical samples of ice removed from ice sheets and glaciers. Because ice cores are taken from regions which remain frozen year-round, they contain detailed information about the history of the Earth’s climate, for those who know how to look. Paleoclimatologists often study ice cores extensively to gather data about major climate events and to piece together patterns in the Earth’s meteorological history. Ice cores can be found in storage in numerous research facilities and archives.
