- What is "deep time?" Witness ANDRILL coring deep beneath an ice shelf (and sea ice) to recover layers of sediments in rock cores to understand the history and future of Earth's climate. The sediments laid down were a result of glaciers that bulldozed the landscape to deposit layers representing different time periods...getting older as ANDRILL cores deeper. But why does ANDRILL seek rock cores instead of ice cores? Antarctica's thick ice cover can only record up to 1 million years of Earth's climate history, while ANDRILL's rock cores can reveal millions of years...to a time when the continent was nearly ice-free.
