Dr. Mayewski explains how ice cores function as a year-by-year record of Earth's climate history, capturing gas content, dissolved chemistry, dust particles, and volcanic signatures spanning tens of thousands of years. He describes the dramatic 100,000-year glacial cycles driven by Earth's orbital position relative to the sun and the… Full show notes & guests: https://artbellarchive.org/episode/october-16-2002-climate-change-dr-paul-mayewski
