  • 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 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.

  • 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. In this way, ALPCLIM findings are expected to eventually provide the basic prospect on the potential of Alpine glacier archives in current environmental and climate research foci. The conceptual framework had to narrow down crucial shortcomings of Alpine glaciers, which mainly comprised dating problems, large and even unknown glaciometeorological noise as well as the virtually unexplored (paleo-climate) potential of trace gases, englacial temperature profiles and cold ice bodies at lower altitudes. 3 ice cores was taken in two different site; Colle del Lys e Colle Gnifetti on Monte Rosa.

  • Colle del Lys perforation by ALPCLIM project in 1996. Ice core reached a deep of 80m. 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.
