The video discusses a study on the Greenland ice sheet, revealing its climate history through ice core analysis and radar mapping. It highlights three distinct climate periods: the Holocene, the last Ice Age, and the Eemian. The study uses NASA's Operation Icebridge data to create a 3D age map, showing more Eemian ice than expected in northern Greenland. This research helps understand the ice sheet's response to past and current climate changes.
