Ice core samples, for example, help scientists understand past ecosystems. Ice core samples from polar and glacial ice can be very useful to scientists for finding climate information as far back as 800 000 years. Scientists can also understand how climate change impacts current aquatic ecosystems by taking sediment cores from lakes. This was done in the following study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>R\u00fchland, K.M., Paterson, A.M., Keller, W., Michelutti, N., and Smol, J.P. 2013. Global warming triggers the loss of a key Arctic refugium.
