Abstract: The base of the Greenland ice sheet holds crucial information on climate change, which is of scientific importance for understanding the future evolution of Earth's climate system. This paper reviews the involvement of the Chinese team in the Greenland deep ice core drilling project, discusses the connections between deep ice cores, ice sheets, and climate change, and explores future research directions in the field of ice sheet and climate instability
