Paleoclimatology and Ice Core Records
Paleoclimatology reconstructs Earth's past climates from physical, chemical, and biological evidence preserved in natural archives including ice cores, ocean sediments, tree rings, corals, and cave speleothems. Ice cores drilled in Greenland and Antarctica provide exceptionally detailed records extending hundreds of thousands of years into the past, revealing the pacing of ice ages, abrupt climate transitions, and pre-industrial atmospheric composition. These records are essential for contextualising contemporary climate change and testing climate models.
