Searching for an interglacial on Greenland

(Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres) The first season of the international drilling project NEEM (North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling) in north-western Greenland was completed at Aug. 20. A research team, with the participation of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association, has drilled an ice core of altogether 1,757.87 m length on the Greenland inland ice within 110 days. It is expected to contain data on climate history of about 38,000 years.
