IPICS-2kyr-Italia: multiple perforations in the Antarctic ice sheet
The IPICS-2kyr-Italia project, through multiple perforations in the Antarctic ice sheet, aims to provide new data on climatic variability over the last 2000 years. The ice caps of the polar caps are valuable natural archives of the Earth's climatic and environmental history.
The extraction of the snow and ice cores have taken place during the summer campaign of the Italian expedition to Antarctica 2013/2014. The drilling site GV7 (70°41'S, 158°52'E; 1950 m), chosen for the high snow accumulation, is about 500 km from Mario Zucchelli Station. Drill up to 250 - 500m. Core samples will be studied by chemical, isotopic and physical analyses of the dust and gases contained in the ice.
It will thus be possible to reconstruct the evolution of temperatures, the composition of the atmosphere and atmospheric circulation, the frequency of volcanic eruptions and the air pollution produced by human activities over the last millennium with considerable temporal detail.
