• Global Ice Core Research
  By studying isotopes that are globally archived in glacial ice, valuable information can be obtained that chronicles past climatic conditions and could potentially provide a basis for modern global climatic change research. Aside from global climatic change, additional areas of research and exploration also benefit from studying isotopes in glacial ice. Some examples are ground-water studies, freshwater and oceanic studies, atmospheric modeling and research, and a host of others - site intro.
