What does winning the Descartes Prize mean to you and EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica)?
Winning the Descartes Prize is a great recognition of the work of the EPICA team. It shows that the science that has come out of it is interesting and important for climate research and eventually for knowing how to tackle climate change. And for me personally, having been part of EPICA for a long time, it feels like it has all been worthwhile. 2. How did you get involved into the EPICA project and what was your role? There is a long history of European collaboration in ice coring and I have been an ice core scientist for more than 20 years. 1989 was the first year when eight European countries got together to drill in Greenland in another ESF programme called GRIP (Greenland Ice Core Project), and building on that we said ‘lets do the same thing in Antarctica’, starting around 1995. I was the chief scientist in the field two field seasons, and then I became the chair of the science committee 3. What is your scientific background and how did you get into this research field? I am a che
