By analyzing air bubbles trapped in the ice, scientists at the Center for Oldest Ice Exploration (Coldex) can determine the amount of carbon dioxide in the air at any given time. This allows them to understand the influence of gas emissions (A gas is a collection of very weakly bound atoms or molecules and…) on the greenhouse effect (The greenhouse effect is a natural process that occurs with a given energy input… ) on the climate (climate is the statistical distribution of atmospheric conditions in a…) and how ice caps respond to climate change.
On December 23, Coldex released a video (The video brings together all the techniques, technologies that make the recording possible, as well as the…) of its work in Antarctica (Antarctica (pronounced [ɑ̃.taʁk.tik] Listen) is the continent the most …). This American mission aims to examine the oldest ice samples (ice is water in a solid state.) in the world (the word world can mean:) to study the evolution and future of Earth’s climate (Earth is the third planet in the solar system in the order their distance…).
In their quest (scientific research primarily refers to all actions taken to…) sink the “oldest ice in the world”, the Coldex scientists immersed a camera (the term camera comes from the Latin: chamber, e.g Photo chamber It refers to a device …) in a 93 meter deep hole in Antarctica. Thanks to this hole, dug twenty years ago, they were able to analyze pieces of ice 800,000 years old. However, they hope to continue digging and reach even older samples, up to “three or four million years old,” according to Edward Brook, researcher (A researcher (female researcher) refers to a person whose job it is , de la …) on climate and director of Coldex at the Antarctic Sun (Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: SUNW) is a computer manufacturer and publisher of …).
Studying these ice samples can help us better understand our planet’s climate history (a planet is a celestial body orbiting the Sun or another star) and better predict how the climate will evolve in the future. It can also help us take action to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on our planet and our daily lives.
