According to NASA, Earth's current warming trend is proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years. Ancient evidence of climate change, and how humans have impacted it, can be found in ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica and tropical mountain glaciers.
In an effort to enable scientists to conduct research on these ice cores, Thermo Fisher has partnered with the ICE MEMORY initiative. The mission of ICE MEMORY is to extract and store ice cores from the mountain glaciers that are most vulnerable to climate change, providing future generations of scientists with vital samples to study and better understand environments and climate change.
