As part of the Ice Memory initiative, PSI researchers, with colleagues from the University of Fribourg and Ca' Foscari University of Venice as well as the Institute of Polar Sciences of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), analyzed ice cores drilled in 2018 and 2020 from the Corbassière glacier at Grand Combin in the canton of Valais.
Melting of glaciers due to climate change has destroyed climate records. Read more here. Global warming has caused widespread surface lowering of mountain glaciers, revealing that they are no longer appropriate for a climate archive.
Even the “eternal ice” on the Grand Combin is not made to last forever. Visible at the upper right of the photo is the drilling camp of the 2020 Ice Memory ...

An ice core drilled at the Belukha glacier in the Siberian Altai by a Swiss-Russian research team under the leadership of the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in 2001 has now provided new findings in climate research. Oxygen isotopes in the ice were used to reconstruct the temperatures in the Altai over the past 750 years.
