  • This week, uncover some of the oldest ice on Earth, follow a dinosaur highway, learn how Pluto sealed the capture of its moon Charon with a "kiss," and more.

The article from MSN discusses a significant scientific endeavor where researchers are extracting an ice core from Greenland's ice sheet, aiming to delve into Earth's climatic past. This project, led by the Alfred Wegener Institute, involves drilling to retrieve a 2,700-meter-long ice core, which could provide insights into the last 1.5 million years of Earth's history. The ice core is expected to reveal details about past climate conditions, including temperature changes, atmospheric composition, and even volcanic activity through the analysis of trapped air bubbles and isotopic compositions. This data is crucial for understanding long-term climate patterns, the effects of greenhouse gases, and could help in predicting future climate scenarios. The project not only seeks to enhance our understanding of natural climate variability but also to inform current climate change models and policies.
