Produced through the research of glaciologists and climatologists, this work examines the history of climate change by studying ice from sources such as ice sheets and glaciers. By contrasting the history documented in the ice with the melting that is occurring around the world, the scientists are able to provide an enlightening view of climate change as it happens.
