«Although this paper will likely become a classic compilation of our view in 2017, the 79
ice cores analyzed are spatially restricted,» he told Earther, noting that West Antarctic
cores are biased toward the highest ground, and that East Antarctic
record is biased because of a cluster of
cores in Dronning Maud Land, a vast chunk of
ice annexed by Norway in 1939.
This project brings together senior scientists from the Desert Research Institute, the University of Colorado, the University of Southern Mississippi, the University Libre de Brussels, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks to tackle these problems as a team to create transformative new approaches to
analyzing ice cores from polythermal valley glaciers to create unique
records of value to a broad - base of scientists and policy makers.
