Our vision

The Ice Memory Foundation aims to collect, save, and manage ice cores from selected glaciers in danger of degradation or disappearance, with a view to preserving the information they contain for decades and centuries to come. Safeguarding these ice cores is key to providing scientific advances: the knowledge on past climate and environment history obtained through the ice cores will continue to guide policy decisions that will ultimately contribute to the well-being of humanity.
