Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - To prove the exact severity of modern climate change, scientists must know exactly what the Earth's atmosphere was made of hundreds of thousands of years ago. They cannot rely on fossils; they need physical samples of the ancient air itself. Those sa…mples are locked inside microscopic bubbles, buried under three miles of solid, freezing ice in Antarctica.This technical volume explores the extreme, specialized engineering of deep ice core drilling. We detail the mechanical nightmare of operating massive, hollow drill bits in -40 degree weather, where standard metal becomes brittle and lubricants freeze solid. Engineers must carefully lower drills on kilometers of steel cable, extracting three-meter-long, flawless cylinders of ancient ice without cracking them.The narrative dissects the crucial handling logistics. Once brought to the surface, the ice core cannot be exposed to modern air. It must be hermetically sealed, cataloged, and transported across oceans in specialized freezers to elite laboratories, where lasers and mass spectrometers measure the trapped carbon dioxide to chart the paleoclimatic history of the world.Uncover the frozen archives of the planet. A brutal journey into the mechanical science of pulling ancient, breathable time capsules out of the crushing depths of the ice sheet.
