4 comments WAIS DIVIDE, ANTARCTICA– Here is a short video that summarizes all of the steps in collecting an ice core using the Deep Ice Sheet Coring (DISC) drill. Thomas Bauska, of Oregon State University helped me put together this video. Enjoy!
Heidi Roop who recently finished her masters thesis on Arctic climate change and lake sediments, will be heading south to work as a science technician at the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide. Through her interest in geology, Heidi has been able to travel around the world researching climate change and environmental issues. She has never been to Antarctica and is looking forward to the opportunity to spend three months helping to collect and document ice cores.

Hi Eric. We just launched the Ice Stories Polar Media Collection, and it has downloadable versions of this video.

Fascinating video, thank you.
I am working on a high school research project about polar research, this will be very helpful. Can you tell me, on average, how many years of history are contained in a meter of ice core?
