    The project proposed by the Milano Bicocca (UNIMIB) research unit will investigate aspects of current Alpine glaciation through observations and glaciological measurements, mass balance calculations, and geophysical and geodetic investigation. In particular, the UNIMIB research unit will be responsible for studying the evolution of glaciers from a physical and dynamic perspective. This archive includes non polar ice cores information from Colle del Lys available in the DISAT GEOMATIC LAB repository. A total of 3 different ice core were recovered in 2003 on Colle del Lys, Monte Rosa, Italy.

  • Colle Gnifetti perforation by ALPCLIM project in 2003. Two ice core were taken from Colle Gnifetti. Ice cores reached a deep of 82m and 81m. The overarching scientific objective of ALPCLIM was aimed at the exploitation of ALPCLIM glaciers for climate related records. These concerns the archived history of isotope temperature, atmospheric trace constituents as well as the englacial temperature distribution. Different to the vast polar ice sheets, there is a primary need for small scale Alpine glacier archives to evaluate and validate such proxy records in view of their hitherto unknown reliability, spatio-temporal significance and, most important, in view of their underlying net atmospheric signals.

  • This archive includes non polar ice cores information from European glaciers available in the DISAT GEOMATIC LAB repository. A total of 7 different perforation site were investigated to recover 38 ice cores from 1973 to 2012

    In 1997, three ice cores were recovered from the Dasuopu glacier (28°23'N, 85°43'E) with the use of an electromechanical drill in dry holes. The first core (C1) was 159.9 m long and was drilled at 7000 m above sea level (a.s.l.) down the flow line from the top of the col, and two cores (C2 and C3), 149.2 and 167.7 m long, respectively, were drilled to bedrock 100 m apart on the col at 7200 m a.s.l. Visible stratigraphy showed no hiatus features in any of the cores. All cores were analyzed over their entire lengths for oxygen isotopic ratio (?18O ), chemical composition, and dust concentration.

  • This archive includes non polar ice cores information from Ortles glacier available in the DISAT GEOMATIC LAB repository. A total of 5 ice cores were taken from 2009 to 2011.

  • This archive includes non polar ice cores information from Monte Rosa glaciers available in the DISAT GEOMATIC LAB repository. A total of 11 ice cores were taken from 1976 to 2000 in different location: 10 on Colle Gnifetti, 1 on Colle del Lys

  • The aim of the NEXTDATA Project - WP2.3, is the implementation of paleo-climatic database of non polar ice core of the word. This archive includes non polar ice core information from NOAA and NICL databases as well as data published in the scientific literature and available in the DISAT GEOMATIC LAB repository. For each core, drilling site, altitude, core length, year, data source holder name, drilling methodology are archived. For cores analyzed and reported in previous publications, paleo-climatic proxies (physical, chemical data characterization) are also provided.
