Scientists have discovered a 6-million-year-old ice sheet in Antarctica. This discovery allows for direct access to information about Earth's ancient atmosphere and climatic conditions.
AzEdu.az reports, citing foreign media, that according to the information, the ice sample will be used to study long-term climate changes and historical levels of greenhouse gases. The research shows that understanding the past behavior of the climate system is crucial for predicting today's climate changes.
Scientists state that these types of ice samples provide significant information about our planet's past climate periods and natural “feedback” mechanisms. At the same time, the results will play an important role in increasing the accuracy of climate models in the future.
It is noted that the preservation of the ice sample in Antarctica and its detailed analysis require a long and complex process.
