High-resolution marine ice core and marine sediment records contain climate proxy data (e.g., sediment lithology, stable isotopes preserverd in foraminifera tests). Studying global climate involves collecting ice and sediment cores from key sites and comparing the response and timing of climate change among sensitive regions.
