Totally agree. Ice core research on past climate, glacial/interglacial periods, even impact on human evolution and lots more. Climate signals are frozen in ice. Outstanding ice core retrieval 2.8km length in arduous conditions. #Pleistocene #palaeoclimatology #glaciation #climate @bas.ac.uk
this is really exciting and I look forward to learning about the science coming out of these new ice-core records in the coming years @millionyearice.bsky.social 🧊🧪 www.bbc.com/news/article...
Million year-old bubbles could solve ice age mystery
What is probably the world's oldest ice, dating back 1.2m years ago, has been dug out from deep within Antarctica.

A superb #Jurassiccoast location? How about exploring the geology of the #Portland and Purbeck Groups on Isle of #Purbeck. Dancing Ledge. Great views, super walking, interesting #geology, fascinating local history. #Dorset #Geodiversity - our "non-living nature" is a treasure and a wonder to behold.

c.147 million years ago: warm, shallow carbonate seas and shoals at the latitude of Greece today deposited these Upper Jurassic rocks, Isle of #Purbeck, #Dorset.
A perfect spot for smuggling in a bygone era.

Super #dinosaur (Ornithopod) Footcast. #IsleofWight.
Footprint creates mould in soft mud c.125 million years ago - river plain, lakes & channels - mould fills with sediment - solidifies - host rock erodes - footcast preserved.
