All Sides with Ann Fisher - 10-27-2020 A - Racing to Save Earth's Climate Record
The Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center at The Ohio State University has embarked on a fundraising campaign to preserve its collection of ice core samples for future generations of scientists.
Like rings of a tree, the frozen cylinders provide a climatological record stretching back hundreds of thousands of years.
As a warming climate continues to melt away glacial ice, this archive will be lost forever.
Today on All Sides with Ann Fisher: the race to save Earth's climate record.
Guests:
Ellen Thompson, senior research scientist, Ohio State University's Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center
Lonnie Thompson, senior research scientist, Ohio State University's Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center
