...oxygen-isotope ratio to chart yearly variations in weather to depths of 300 ft. Beyond that level, the annual record becomes blurred.

Analysis of the layers showed, for example, that the earth's last ice age began some 70,000 years ago and did not end until about 10,000 years ago. The investigators also made some long-range forecasts. Projecting the established weather pattern, they predicted that temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere will continue to drop for 25 years before a warming trend sets...
Nature's Relics. Since they published their findings in Science last month, Chester C. Langway Jr. of the U.S. Army's Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab at Hanover, N.H., and his three Danish collaborators have been deluged with requests for ice specimens. The interest of other scientists is understandable. The ice now being preserved in deep freezes at Hanover may contain a wide assortment of nature's rare relics, ranging from evidence of past cosmic-ray bombardment to bubbles of ancient trapped air that will tell much about the composition of the earth's atmosphere...
