flag A Japanese-led team studies ice cores from Tajikistan’s growing glaciers to uncover climate history and inform global preservation efforts.

flag A Japanese-led team, including scientist Yoshinori Iizuka, is analyzing 105-meter ice cores from Tajikistan’s Pamir Mountains, a rare region where glaciers are growing despite global warming. flag One core is stored in Antarctica’s Ice Memory Foundation vault, the other is being studied in Sapporo. flag Researchers are examining ice layers for climate data, including past precipitation, volcanic activity, and atmospheric particles, to understand the "Pamir-Karakoram anomaly" and potentially inform global glacier preservation efforts. flag Findings are expected next year.
