| Zusammenfassung |
| For about 50 yr, ice cores have provided a wealth of information about past
climatic and environmental changes. Ice cores from Greenland, Antarctica and
other glacier-covered regions now encompass a variety of time scales.
However, the longer time scales (e.g. at least back to the Last Glacial
period) are covered by deep ice cores, the number of which is still very
limited: seven from Greenland, with only one providing an undisturbed record
of a part of the last interglacial period, and a dozen from Antarctica, with
the longest record covering the last 800 000 yr. This article aims to
summarize this successful adventure initiated by a few pioneers and their
teams and to review key scientific results by focusing on climate (in
particular water isotopes) and climate-related (e.g. greenhouse gases)
reconstructions. Future research is well taken into account by the four
projects defined by IPICS. However, it remains a challenge to get an intact
record of the Last Interglacial in Greenland and to extend the Antarctic
record through the mid-Pleistocene transition, if possible back to 1.5 Ma. |
