UNH Field Trip Reflection





          This is what I found most interesting about the field trip. What I thought was most interesting about the field trip was the ice core samples. I found out that UNH takes samples from all over the world and uses them to find out past events and weather. Recently a group of scientists went Greenland to take ice core samples. To take the sample you have to get a very powerful drill and drill into the ice. The drill can go down as far as you need it to. The drill is specifically designed so that the ice gets collected in the form of a cylinder in the middle of the drill. Then the drill is brought up with the ice cylinder in it and the ice is then shipped to a lab for tests on any information they can or need to get from it. That was what I thought was the most interesting thing that I learned on the field trip.
