冰芯提供了从几十年到几十万年的过去气候和环境条件的信息，并直接记录了大气的组成。因此，它们是全球变化研究的基石。例如，冰芯在显示气候和温室气体浓度在过去有多么密切的联系，以及在证明可能发生非常突然的气候转变方面发挥着核心作用。
随着过去15年在格陵兰岛和南极洲的主要项目的完成，国际冰芯取样界正在为今后几十年进行规划。由于今后工作的费用和范围，有必要进行协调一致的国际合作。发展这项国际合作是IPICS的责任，IPICS是冰芯科学国际伙伴关系，目前由来自18个国家的冰芯科学家，工程师和钻探人员组成的规划小组。
Ice cores provide information about past climate and environmental conditions on timescales from decades to hundreds of millennia, and direct records of the composition of the atmosphere. As such, they are cornerstones of global change research. For example, ice cores play a central role in showing how closely climate and greenhouse gas concentrations were linked in the past, and in demonstrating that very abrupt climate switches can occur.
With the completion of major projects in Greenland and Antarctica over the last 15 years, the international ice coring community is planning for the next several decades. The costs and scope of future work create the need for coordinated international collaboration. Developing this international collaboration is the charge of IPICS, the International Partnerships in Ice Core Sciences, a planning group currently composed of ice core scientists, engineers, and drillers from 18 nations.
