Emeric Marie A. Babut du Marès

Emeric Babut du Marès is a PhD student at the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) in the new centre for ice, Cryosphere, Carbon and Climate (iC3), which aims to investigate the interactions between ice sheets, carbon cycles, climate, and ecosystems. Emeric's work consists of shedding light on one of these scientific gaps: where and how much methane is stored as hydrates beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, and how sensitive this methane reservoir is to climate-induced ice sheet mass loss?

A 12-meter sediment core reveals secrets of the Arctic’s past climate

A 12-meter sediment core retrieved in 2019 from the Fram Strait, between Svalbard and Greenland, is under meticulous analysis by Jochen Knies and his team from our Polar Research Hub. Extracted from a depth of 2,500 meters, the core preserves a climate record spanning up to 400,000 years. Its sediment layers offer crucial insights into the Arctic’s past, addressing an important question: Was ...[Read More]
