Two Tibetan Ice Cores Drilled 23 Years Apart Match, Backing Claims That Guliya Ice Is Older Than 128,000 Years

Two ice cores pulled from the same Tibetan ice cap 23 years apart tell the same climate story, and that agreement is now at the center of a long-running scientific dispute. A new study in Science Advances argues that ice in the Guliya ice cap in northwestern Tibet preserves a record stretching back more than 100,000 years, and possibly beyond 128,000 years, far older than critics have accepted.
