In an ocean of bad news, here's some science excitement - the beyond EPICA team has announced they've drilled an ice core dating continuosly to 1.2 million years ago!! This core will give key information about the transition to the 100-000 year earth - the cycle of glacials and interglacials in which we currently live. So cool (pun intended).

Some ice cores contain air bubbles trapped from hundreds of thousands of years ago, preserving tiny samples of the ancient atmosphere. This allows scientists to directly measure past concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.

Does #Europe know just how awesome the #BeyondEPICA project is?
Drilling an *ancient* #iceCore in a very remote and very cold part of #Antarctica...
Good overview talk here at #ESSI

Interrupted holidays to give a quick talk at UTAS today, got an ice core lab tour in exchange! Worth it.
