ANR funded projects "VANISH" and "DOMEA" participate in the Antarctic Raid

This “scientific raid” which has just begun is a scientific and logistic premiere in the Antarctic region which remains unexplored by land transport.

It should enable to reach in a single operation the scientific goals of two ANR and IPEV funded projects, coordinated by Michel Fily, lecturer researcher at the Joseph Fournier University (VANISH/Taste Idea project) and Jérôme Chappellaz, CNRS researcher at the LGGE (Glaciology and Environmental Geophysics Laboratory) (DOMEA/Explore project).

 

The main scientific goals are the study of climatic and environmental variability during a recent period (200 years) and the study of the relationship between temperature and greenhouse gases during climate transitions.

A third objective is to look for the best place to obtain the oldest ice (more than one million years).
