EGRIP-France

This project represents the French contribution to the international deep drilling project EGRIP (East Greenland Ice core Project) with the target of studying the dynamics of the large North East Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) and recover a high resolution climatic archive of the last 50.000 years: access to the drilling site, to the ice samples and contribution to the deep drilling operation.

Due to covid restrictions the 2020 and 2021 field seasons have been cancelled and postponed to 2022 and 2023. This project is an extension of the previous EGRIP-France project to cover the next 2 season and insure our participation to the deep drilling operations if requested by the project partners.
