CLASnotes
Getting to the Core of Climate Change

As a member of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program—an international consortium of scientists from the US, Europe and Japan—the Department of Geological Sciences is participating in two major drilling expeditions this year off the coast of Greenland to gather sediment core samples to be used to examine how sudden climate change has occurred in the past. Each 9.5-meter, or 10.3-yard, section of pipe gathered contains 60,000 years of climate history (Photo courtesy of Jim Channell).
