Greenland Ice Core Project

The Greenland Ice Core Project is a scientific research initiative that involves drilling deep into the ice sheets of Greenland to extract ice cores. These cores contain layers of ice formed over thousands of years, trapping bubbles of ancient air, dust, and other particles. By analyzing these layers, scientists can study past climate conditions, greenhouse gas levels, and environmental changes. This research helps us understand Earth's climate history and informs predictions about future climate change, offering crucial insights into how our planet's climate has evolved over millennia.
