Allan Hills and Ice core OVERVIEW
The ice samples that scientists collect from Antarctica, Greenland, and other glaciated areas provide some of the only available pre-instrumental archives of the changing climate. Not only do ice sheets reveal record of past climate, but they also shed light on climate processes such as long-term and short-term patterns, which drive climate change and the timing of climatic events. The information and links on these pages are designed to extend access to cutting-edge climate research to all individuals. It is our hope that through the links on this page, you can explore the science behind our research, communicate with Antarctic scientists, as well as keep updated on the latest from the field!

MEET THE TEAM

Drill Site

We are a team of scientists and students from the University of Maine Climate Change Institute, as well as other institutions throughout the country.

WHY ANTARCTICA?

Bubbles in Ice core
Climate researchers have taken a particular interest in the polar regions, namely the Arctic and Antarctica, where an abundance of ice uninhabited by humans is readily available. Our research is being done in Allan Hills, Antarctica. Pictured below, the Allan Hills are located on the western flank of the Transantarctic Mountains known as the Convoy Range.
