	Ice Memory [Long]
		In the early nineteen-sixties, Willi Dansgaard, a Danish chemist, proved that the ratio between the two in rainwater was related to the temperature.
		Dansgaard took samples of rain from around the world and demonstrated that, by running them through a mass spectrometer, he could in most cases arrive at the average temperature of the spot where they had fallen.
		Sigfus Johnsen was a student of Dansgaard's who worked with him on the Camp Century core, and he happened to be travelling to North GRIP at the same time I was.

		Dansgaard - Oeschger events are rapid climate fluctuations during and at the end of the last ice age.
		The processes behind the timing and amplitude of these events (as recorded in ice cores) are still unclear.

	Feature Article
		The European group was led mainly by Danes, many of them trained by Willi Dansgaard, one of the towering pioneers in ice-core research.
		It was Dansgaard who had flatly told the U.S. National Science Foundation in the mid-1970s that getting cores from the Quelccaya Ice Cap would be impossible.
		A somewhat more technical history of ice-core science and technology is to be found in Willi Dansgaard's recent memoir, Frozen Annals, Greenland Ice Sheet Research, Copenhagen, Department of Geophysics of the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, 2004.

		In cooperation with other laboratories, Dr. Dansgaard and his group performed the first isotopic analysis of the ice and perfected the methods to date the ice sheets and measure acidity and dust records, thus demonstrating its value as an environmental indicator.
		Since that time, Dr. Dansgaard has organized or participated in 19 expeditions to the glaciers of Norway, Greenland, and Antarctica.
		Dansgaard is a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Science and Letters, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Icelandic Academy of Sciences, and the Danish Geophysical Society.

	Learning from Polar Ice Core Research
		The discovery of these fluctuations, known as Dansgaard-Oeschger oscillations after the Danish and Swiss investigators who first documented them, has given rise to intense interest in their causes and speculation that current increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere could trigger such rapid change in the coming decades.
		The importance of the ice core record was recognized by the North American environmental science community in 1996, when Claude Lorius, Willi Dansgaard, and Hans Oeschger received the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement.
		In the late 1960s and early 1970s, glaciologists Willi Dansgaard, of the University of Copenhagen, and Hans Oeschger, of the University of Bern, pioneered developing techniques for dating the ice, measuring temperature, and analyzing the chemical composition of the ice and trapped air bubbles.

		By 1981, after a decade of tenacious labor and the invention of an ingenious new drill, they had extracted gleaming cylinders of ice ten centimeters in diameter and in total over two kilometers long.
		Dansgaard's group cut out 67,000 samples, and in each sample analyzed the ratios of oxygen isotopes.
		Dansgaard's group was typical in speculating about "shifts between two different quasi-stationary modes of atmospheric circulation."(53) That was the most common idea about how climate might change rapidly, harking back to the "dishpan" experiments of the 1950s.

	NAP Skim View of:
		Comparing the Dye 3 core with the Camp Century ice and with new results from lake sediments in Switzerland, Willi Dansgaard and Hans Oeschger had identified 24 episodes of abrupt change during the last ice age.
		In a 1984 paper, Oeschger, Dansgaard, Chet Langway, and others observed that these events “can be linked to oceanic changes, namely advances and retreats of cold polar water in the North Atlantic Ocean.” The southward advance of polar water coincides with colder climate in Europe, they noted, and its retreat northward with a warmer Europe.
		And the oxygen isotope evidence for the most recent rapid event in both cores also appeared in calcium carbonate analyses from lake sediments in Switzerland, supporting Willi Dansgaard’s view, expressed years earlier, that the Greenland ice and the European pollens were recording the same rapid cooling event—the Younger Dryas.

		Bond showed how far and wide the iceberg armadas of the Heinrich events spread across the North Atlantic and how their timing matched the cold phases of the Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles in the Greenland ice.
		Willi Dansgaard quickly responded to the news from Lamont-Doherty by incorporating the North Atlantic findings into the latest Greenland data.
		In 1992, Bond and an international team that included Broecker and the German marine geologist Hartmut Heinrich confirmed Heinrich’s identification of a type of abrupt climate change in the North Atlantic that seemed to be very different from the events that dominated the Greenland record.

		Perhaps the most intriguing discovery stemming from ice-core analysis is the fact that global warming has occurred many times over the ages.
		This realization stems, in part, from the work of two European paleoclimatologists, Willi Dansgaard of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and Hans A. Oeschger of the University of Bern in Switzerland.
		In 1989, Dansgaard and Oeschger reviewed a number of earlier studies of oxygen-isotope ratios in ice cores from Greenland.

		Together with his colleagues Chester C. Langway and Willi Dansgaard, he documented a series of abrupt climate changes in the Greenland ice cores now known as Dansgaard-Oeschger events.

		([One geologist, Willi] Dansgaard thinks the heavy snowfalls account for the rapid build-up of the ice sheets and the consequent drop in sea level.) But these Ice Age snow samples contain almost as much O-18 as snow that had fallen thousands of years before, when the climate was milder.
		At a time when superlatives are routinely used to describe the mundane, it is difficult to express the importance of two papers in this issue which present results from the new GRIP ice core in central Greenland.
		Dansgaard and colleagues investigated one of the possible tracers, the oxygen isotope ratio (a proxy for atmospheric temperature) along the whole of the GRIP core (see figure).

		According to Willi Dansgaard of the University of Copenhagen, the GRIP ice core shows that temperatures during the Eemian fluctuated wildly, typically by 5-7 degrees Celsius over a matter of decades.
		This implies that the current interglacial period (the Holocene), is either unusually stable or is subject to the same fluctuations in climate.

		Dansgaard had suggested that these swings might be caused by "shifts between two different quasi-stationary modes of atmospheric circulation." But Oeschger's carbon dioxide measurements seemed to eliminate that possibility.
