ANDRILL

A collaborative programme to recover cores from sedimentary basins beneath Antarctica’s floating ice shelves and sea ice. Drilling uses a dedicated specially adapted system to recover continuous core from deep drill holes in order to decipher past climate, sea level and ice sheet history and ultimately use the understanding developed to help predict how Antarctic might behave in a future warmer world. International partners: Germany, Italy, New Zealand and the United States.
