Another project in early stages is a deep ice core drilling project, also located in
Greenland which is expected to shed light on the northeast Greenland ice stream and its contributions to a rise in sea level. This could give details on what to expect for future sea level rise due to ice sheet mass

in 2013. The paper suggests, based on ice sheet simulations, that during the last interglacial
Greenland might have contributed around 2 m (6 ft 7 in) to the observed 4–8 m (13–26 ft) sea level rise. This implies that Antarctic ice melting was a significant factor.

1980 was the year we found two youngsters (and they each other), who should later become prominent participants in our glaciological research: Dorthe Dahl-Jensen and Jørgen Peder
Steffensen, both developing very well in teaching and research, she strongest in theory, he in practice and

Dansgaard's old department – which is now called the 'Centre for Ice and Climate' and under her leadership it remains one of the world's leading research institutes in the climate field – moreover with a gender distribution that is almost

Large-scale melting of the
Greenland ice sheet would have long-term global consequences, beyond rising sea levels. It could halt the Gulf Stream ocean current, with potential knock-on effects on the Amazon rainforest and tropical

Dansgaard had an arbitrary rule that reflected the hidebound traditions of his field: no women could come to the drilling camp. But he had relented in this case.
