Understanding the processes underpinning our planet's climate is key to predicting future change
Antarctic ice cores reveal impacts of warmingResearchers from Cambridge Earth Sciences and the British Antarctic Survey have drilled 650 metres into the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to unlock the secrets of Earth’s past climate: giving us a window into what might happen in the future.

Documenting our changing climate using shellsWhat can the chemistry of shells tell us about the climate of the past – and how our planet will change in the future? In this video, Dr Oscar Branson tells us about his research group’s work to understand how different parts of the climate system work together, all by looking at ancient traces from the bottom of the ocean. |
