High-precision analysis of precious ice samples: New technology revolutionizes the analysis of old ice
Dübendorf, St. Gallen und Thun, 16.2.2023 - Ice cores are a unique climate archive. Thanks to a new method developed by researchers at the University of Bern and Empa, greenhouse gas concentrations in 1.5 million year old ice can be measured even more accurately. The EU project “Beyond EPICA” with the participation of the University of Bern aims to recover such old ice in Antarctica.
