Scientists drill 33 feet into a vanishing Alpine glacier to recover a 2,000-year climate record revealing ancient silver mining, massive forest fires, and far-off volcanic eruptions
- Scientists working on Alpine glacier (AI-generated image)Scientists drilled 33 feet into ice and recovered a 2,000-year climate record, a frozen capsule that can reveal how the atmosphere breathed long before modern measurements.
- High on the Weißseespitze glacier in the eastern Alps, an international research team extracted an ice core barely 33 feet long that preserves two centuries of European environmental history.
- Published in the official study in Frontiers in Earth Science, the research details a timeline stretching from the Roman era around the year 128 through to 1641.
