DESCRIPTION:Ice cores hold valuable information about Earth's 
 past climate\, which help us to better understand 
 climate processes on long timescales and ultimatel
 y inform and refine future projections of climate.
 \nI'm part of the WACSWAIN ice core project. WACSW
 AIN is interested in the Last Interglacial period 
 (~113\,000 years ago) when the Earth was around 2 
 degrees C warmer and sea levels several metres hig
 her than today. This represents an interesting tar
 get of investigation\; to understand what led to t
 his sea level rise e.g. whether or not the West An
 tarctic Ice Sheet collapsed or retreated and by ho
 w much\, would help us to make better predictions 
 about potential sea level rise as a result of anth
 ropogenic climate change.\nMy research looks at th
 e last glacial cycle (115\,000 years ago to presen
 t) and I am hoping to pick apart how the climate v
 aried across Antarctica during this time. My work 
 will include a trip to the West Antarctic island\,
  Sherman Island\, in January 2020\, where I will m
 ake use of the British Antarctic Survey's Rapid Ac
 cess Isotope Drill\, and I will drill ice down to 
 420m in just a few days.\n
