Ice Memory, the memory of ice by the Université Grenoble Alpes Community

Fondation Didier et Martine Primat - Vivre ensemble de manière responsable et durable

Acting today to create a global heritage of ice and conserve the memory of past eras.

The objective: to create a world sanctuary of glacial archives in the Antarctic, a land of science and peace, preserving ice cores taken from the world’s major glaciers that are in danger. As a result of this work, scientists in the decades and centuries to come will still have quality material for their investigations and future discoveries.
