    Monday: An ice core is a cylinder of ice that is drilled out of ice sheets and glaciers, allowing scientist to see what the climate was like on Earth, up to millions of years ago. Each time it snows, the previous layer is packed down, creating ice. Each layer of ice is a band on the ice core, light bands being summer ice and darker bands being winter ice. By studying ice cores, scientists can discover what the climate was like by looking at the air bubbles, dust, pollen and other particles present

    Global warming, Ice Core samples, Dendrochronology and Peat Bogs. Global warming is the rise of average temperature in the earth’s atmosphere since the late 19th century. Since the beginning of the early 20th century, the earths mean surface temperature had increased by around 0.8 degrees. Warming of the climate system had become more obvious and scientists are 90% sure that the main cause of the increase in temperature in due to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases due to human

    The Ice Chronicles is an in-depth look at one scientists story of drilling for ice cores in arctic climates. The book also describes how the ice cores are drilled and how the ice cores are processed. The team of scientists use the ice cores and the chemical composition of them to get a better grasp of past climates and climate changes. The main drilling mentioned is the Greenland Ice Sheet Project that was overseen by many agencies and supported by multiple higher-education institutions. The project

    the debate has heated up on the controversy of global warming. Politicians have even used the issue to boost their campaigns. Some question whether the earth’s temperature is rising at an unusual rate. Scientists perform experiments from glacial ice to observe the correlation between carbon dioxide levels and temperature. Scientists have changed the debate over the years from debating whether global warming was actually happening to the current debate about what is causing global warming. Therefore

    poleward and begins precipitating out the heavier isotopes until the vapor is progressively more enriched in light isotopes (Figure 1). The lighter isotopes can then be stored as terrestrial ice. This mechanism explains how on long timescales the oxygen isotope ratio can change when forming or collapsing large ice sheets. Because the changes in the isotopic ratio are so small, delta notion was adopted with the use of an international standard. The original standard, adopted in 1968 by the International

    all mankind in the world. It is argued that the ‘anthropogenic’ changes posse more influence on the climate change to the Earth, compared to the ‘naturally driven’ glacial and interglacial changes in temperature. This report is based on the Vostok Core by faculty at Columbia University as an example for us to investigate global climate change. Author of this report believes global warming is just part of the long term temperature fluctuation during the interglacial period as there is no convincing

    conditions but there’s only one I’m going to cover, the Ice core measurement. This method involves analyzation of the glacial. It provides scientist with a pretty precise estimate of past conditions that can compared against Earths present. The ice core measurement was introduced in or around 1960 and has been pretty valid. Data is collected by drill deep within the glaciers and collecting large blocks of Ice. Scientist analyze and preserve Ice from glaciers across the world for analyzation and comparison

    coring into glaciers. Ice cores help them by seeing how the planet's climate was thousands of years ago. These ice cores come from Antarctica, Greenland and any places with glaciers. These ice cores can help predict future climates earth may go through, but it is getting harder to predict. The way they can predict the climate is with the different layers of ice that is formed after a season of snowfall. They can look at these layers and can find different particles in the ice and whatever those partials
