EU/UK Epica project to determine Antarctica age by drilling the ice core

Scientists have returned to East Antarctica this month to locate the oldest ice on Earth. The team is part of an EU-funded research consortium from 10 European countries whose aim is to drill an ice core to capture 1.5 million years of Earth’s climate history. The project, Beyond EPICA – Oldest Ice, will answer important questions about big shifts in the past record of Earth’s climate.

Credit: JAMSTEC [De S. Chiba] The Messina Strait, a submarine bridge separating the island of Sicily from the Italian Peninsula, is the area with the largest marine litter density worldwide -more than a million objects per square kilometre in some parts-, as reported in a new review paper published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. Also, over the next thirty years, the volume of rubbish in the sea could surpass three billion metric tons (Mt), as cited in the study, whose corresponding authors are the experts Miquel Canals, from the Faculty of Earth Sciences of the University of Barcelona, and Georg Hanke from the European Commission s Joint Research Centre (JRC), where scientists carry out research in order to provide independent scientific advice and support to EU policies.
