Amostras de gelo extraídas do Planalto Tibetano permitiram aos cientistas recuperar o equivalente a 1.705 espécies de vírus, cujos genomas contam a história de 41 mil anos de mudanças climáticas.

From ice cores extracted from the Tibetan Plateau, scientists recovered the equivalent of 1,705 virus species. Reading their genomes tells the story of 41,000 years of climate change.

Ice cores can preserve evidence of ‘black swan’ events like pandemics and droughts, but the glaciers from which they are collected are disappearing.
