Drilling at Dome C North #Antarctica, about 50 km from Little Dome C, has begun in earnest, to retrieve the most detailed continuous record of how the Earth’s atmospheric composition and climate have changed over centuries.
#MYIC team has a close collaboration with the #BeyondEPICA #OldestIce team which has been working at Little Dome C since 2019. Acquiring multiple ice core records extending beyond 1M years will allow for joint replication and verification.
“Collaborative modelling and radar work indicate that we’re well placed to build on and extend the European results, with an ice core that is older and more highly resolved.”
