"There’s memory everywhere, DelViscio says. Cores like these reveal our planet's climate history, and the rock below Greenland's ice will help scientists learn when the island was last ice-free."
"On the ice stream, survival was a group exercise for DelViscio, the researchers, and their survival specialists. DelViscio documented the extraction of a special bedrock core, significant for climate studies."
In spring 2024, Jeffery DelViscio, chief multimedia editor at Scientific American, endured a month-long expedition on the Greenland ice sheet, confronting extreme weather and discomfort. Despite initial challenges, he adapted to the harsh conditions and participated in a significant scientific operation. He documented the extraction of a bedrock core, vital for understanding Greenland's climate history and potential implications for the future. DelViscio emphasizes the importance of these geological findings in revealing when Greenland was last ice-free, asserting their relevance for ongoing climate discussions.
