Little ice core drilling... some seismology... glaciology... same old shit we do.

Slosar said the process is similar to an ice core sample removed from Antarctica.

The ice core record suggested a link between accelerated melting and man-made global warming.

The notion became the foundation of ice core studies, on which much modern climatological work is based.

An international team drilled ice core samples on the remote Svalbard islands at the extinct Sverrefjell volcano.

The planet itself is composed largely of hydrogen, helium and methane, with a rock and ice core.

But the ice core reveals more.

The evidence comes from a 364-metre ice core containing a record of freezing and melting over the previous millennium.

An ice core record from this site indicates a strong influence from unusual conditions in the tropical Pacific during the 1990s.

The mission's primary goal was to collect and return to Earth a 50-meter-long, five-millimeter-diameter ice core from Mars's southern permanent cap.

They want to work some low-density, ammonia-methane world with an ice core, a Jupiter-type planet, that they can't conquer any other way.

More broadly, ice core analysis has shown that the runoff is at levels expected only once every century, possibly even every millennium.

Our key activity next summer was to have been our ice core, kilometres long, all the way down to the basement rock.

He said a 50-metre ice core his team drilled on Kenya's 5,895-metre Mount Kilimanjaro dated back 11,700 years.

Another team, led by Jerome Chappellaz of Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble, drew the same conclusions by measuring methane levels in ice core.

Once the screw is out, the ice core should come out easily -the screw is useless until this plug is cleaned out.
