[CRYOLIST] The Camp Century Ice and Sediment Core 57 years later - Special Issue - Copernicus, Climate of the Past and The Cryosphere

Hello everyone,

I am happy to announce that submissions have opened for a combined Special Issue dedicated to new science related to the 1966 Camp Century ice and sediment core. Papers in this Special Issue will be published in the Copernicus Journals Climate of the Past and The Cryosphere - both are open access and open review.

In 1966, drillers at Camp Century reached the bottom of the Greenland Ice Sheet and kept going collecting almost 4 meters of frozen sediment from below meters of silty ice. While the ice core, the first to penetrate a continental ice sheet to the bed, has been thoroughly analyzed, the basal ice and sub-ice sediment have not. A combined European-American team is now studying these materials under both EU and US NSF support. Initial results from the team concerning the sediment were published in PNAS in 2021. 

The goal of this Special Issue is to bring together, in one volume, modern scientific analyses relevant to the Camp Century ice and sediment core. As co-editors of this volume, we encourage your submissions. 

You can learn more about the Special Issue at the following links. The initial papers will be in review soon and thus available to read.



We look forward to your submissions; please email if you have any questions - Paul Bierman <pbierman@uvm.edu>, Jean-Louis Tison <jean-louis.tison@ulb.be>, "Nanna B. Karlsson" <nbk@geus.dk>, Denis Didier Rousseau <denis-didier.rousseau@umontpellier.fr>

All the best,

Paul Bierman, Jean-Louis Tison, Nanna Bjørnholt Karlsson, and Denis-Didier Rousseau
