A new paper has been published today in Geology by the Northeast Greenland Caves Project leader Dr. Gina Moseley and science partner Prof. Christoph Spötl, which shows that in the cold, glacial climate c. 30,000 to 60,000 years ago, strong teleconnections existed between Greenland and central Europe. The paper is permanently open access and available to all.

Thanks to expedition partner Robbie Shone, and also to Martin Moseley for his editing skills, we now have a short documentary about the work of the Innsbruck Quaternary Research Group in Conturines Cave in the Dolomites. The work in the caves of Northeast Greenland will not be quite on the same scale as this, but […]
