Beschreibung

<p>In 2018, frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world's first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When Paul Bierman and his team melted a piece of this material, they found preserved leaves, twigs and moss. This led them to a startling discovery: Greenland's ice sheet had melted before and was more fragile than scientists had realised.</p><p>In <em>When the Ice Is Gone</em>, Bierman traces the story of this finding, revealing how it changes our understanding of the Earth and its climate. He takes us to Camp Century, a U.S. military base built, where engineers drilled through mile-thick ice and into the frozen soil beneath.</p><p>Changes in Greenland reverberate around the world. Losing Greenland's ice will catalyse devastating events if we don't change course and address climate change now.</p>
