		Han har sammen med to kolleger fra Københavns Universitet - Gary Shaffer fra Niels Bohr Institutet og Christian Bjerrum fra Geologisk Institut - sammenholdt data fra is- og havkerner med computersimuleringer af istidens klima for at undersøge, hvordan de forskellige dele af klimasystemet spiller sammen under de hurtige klimaskift.
		Teorien forklarer ifølge Steffen Olsen og hans kolleger fra Københavns Universitet for første gang alle de vigtigste forhold omkring hændelsesforløbet og strukturen af istidens klimavariabilitet.
		Han slutter dog med at understrege, at studiet afslører en række koblinger mellem dele af klimasystemet, der bør studeres i større detalje - eksempelvis ved at anvende mere avancerede computermodeller.

		Oeschger was lecturing on the climate record contained in a mile-and-a-quarter-deep ice core extracted from the Greenland ice sheet, which is a relic of the last ice age.
		Oeschger’s second strand of evidence was actual samples of that ancient air--tiny bubbles that became trapped inside the ice when it formed.
		In his talk that day in Bern, Oeschger hinted that the answer might lie in the ocean, which is a giant reservoir of dissolved carbon dioxide.

	Kicking the Carbon Habit
		As a graduate student in the 1950s, Oeschger had invented and built a novel instrument called the proportional counter to detect and measure ultralow levels of radioactivity; unlike a Geiger counter, it was capable of identifying the type of radiation prompting a signal.
		When Oeschger first was turning his attention to the carbon dioxide trapped in ice, as noted, it had turned out that radiocarbon dating was really not practical for long-term ice dating.
		As early as 1980, Oeschger and colleagues published an analysis in the journal Radiocarbon of the carbon dioxide in air bubbles in the Byrd and Camp Century cores, and found that concentrations were significantly lower during the last glaciation than afterward, possibly as much as 50 percent lower.

		Oeschger was particularly struck by a rapid rise in the atmospheric concentration of CO at the end of the last ice age, which others had recently discovered in ice and deep-sea cores.
		Oeschger reflected that Broecker's biochemical mechanism would take thousands of years to operate, too slow for the rapid changes found in ice cores.
		Oeschger was one of the first to worry that a switch between ocean circulation modes might be set off by the greenhouse gases that humanity was adding to the atmosphere.

	NCPA \| Study #279, The Ice Cores
		Denmark’s Willi Dansgaard and Switzerland’s Hans Oeschger were among the first people in the world to see two mile-long ice cores that brought up 250,000 years of the Earth’s frozen, layered climate history.
		Dansgaard and Oeschger were correct when they told us that the climate shifts were moderate, rising and falling over a range of about 4° C in northern Greenland, with very little temperature change at the equator — and only half a degree when averaged over the northern hemisphere.
		However, Dansgaard and Oeschger noted, “Since the solar radiation is the only important input of energy to the climatic system, it is most obvious to seek an explanation in solar processes.

		In fact, S. Fred Singer (University of Virginia) and Dennis Avery (Hudson Institute) conclude that global warming and cooling seem to be part of a 1,500-year cycle of moderate temperature swings.
		Scientists got the first unequivocal evidence of a continuing moderate natural climate cycle in the 1980s, when Willi Dansgaard of Denmark and Hans Oeschger of Switzerland first saw two mile-long ice cores from Greenland representing 250,000 years of Earth's frozen, layered climate history.
		From their initial examination, Dansgaard and Oeschger estimated the smaller temperature cycles at 2,550 years.

		This success was possible by replacing the traditional multi-box models by their box-diffusion model where the transport of carbon and other tracers from the surface ocean to the abyss is described by a diffusion law; this results in fundamentally different dynamics than that of the traditional box models.
		Consequently, Oeschger and his co-workers were able to faithfully project the evolution of atmospheric CO2 in response to anthropogenic carbon input.
		In 1980, Oeschger pointed out that overall the land biota is a small carbon sink and that this would require a considerable stimulation of plant productivity if carbon released by land use changes is to be balanced.
