科学家从塔吉克斯坦冰川钻探了105米的冰芯,以研究为什么它违抗全球变暖趋势。
Scientists drilled 105-meter ice cores from a Tajikistan glacier to study why it defies global warming trends.
来自瑞士、日本、美国和塔吉克斯坦的科学家在塔吉克斯坦东部Kon-Chukurbashi冰川高5 800多米处钻了两枚105米的冰芯,以研究“卡拉科拉姆异常现象”——尽管全球变暖,该地区冰川仍然保持稳定或增长。
Scientists from Switzerland, Japan, the U.S., and Tajikistan drilled two 105-meter ice cores from the Kon-Chukurbashi glacier in eastern Tajikistan at over 5,800 meters elevation to study the "Karakoram anomaly"—a region where glaciers have remained stable or grown despite global warming.
这些核心可能可追溯到20,000至30,000年,将揭示过去的气候条件,如温度、降水量和尘埃水平,以确定稳定性是暂时的,还是长期模式的一部分。
The cores, which may date back 20,000 to 30,000 years, will reveal past climate conditions like temperature, precipitation, and dust levels to determine if the stability is temporary or part of a longer pattern.
一个核心将在日本进行分析,另一个核心将保存在-50°C的南极设施中,由冰记忆基金会保存,以保护气候数据。
One core will be analyzed in Japan, the other preserved in an Antarctic facility at -50°C by the Ice Memory Foundation to safeguard climate data.
将在杜尚别提出的研究结果可以澄清最近的冰川变化是否标志着这个具有复原力的区域有所变化。
The findings, to be presented in Dushanbe, could clarify whether recent glacier changes signal a shift in this resilient region.
