Location

TALDICE (TALos Dome Ice CorE) is a 1620 m deep ice core drilled at Talos Dome, an ice dome located at the edge of the East Antarctic Plateau in the Ross Sea Sector.

Research

The TALos Dome Ice CorE (TALDICE) is a European ice core research project (Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, United Kingdom) aimed at retrieving an ice core reaching back through the previous interglacials. The new TALDICE-deep1 chronology extends the climate record back to MIS 10.1-343,000 years (1548 m depth) and identifies the previous three interglacials MIS 5, 7 and 9 warm stages.
