=== Large coring projects ===
The logistics of any coring project are complex because the locations are usually difficult to reach, and may be at high altitude.  The largest projects require years of planning and years to execute, and are usually run as international consortiums.  The [[East Greenland Ice-Core Project|EastGRIP]] project, for example, which as of 2017 is drilling in eastern Greenland, is run by the [[Centre for Ice and Climate]] ([[Niels Bohr Institute]], [[University of Copenhagen]]) in [[Denmark]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://eastgrip.org/|title=EastGrip – The East Greenland Ice-core Project|last=Petersen|first=Sandra|date=23 February 2016|website=East Greenland Ice Core Project|language=en|access-date=17 June 2017}}</ref> and includes representatives from 12 countries on its steering committee.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://eastgrip.org/partners/|title=Partners|last=Madsen|first=Martin Vindbæk|date=14 April 2016|website=East Greenland Ice Core Project|language=en|access-date=17 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170628113003/http://eastgrip.org/partners/|archive-date=28 June 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> Over the course of a drilling season, scores of people work at the camp,<ref>{{harvnb|Dahl-Jensen|Kirk|Larsen|Sheldon|Steffensen|2016}}, pp. 17–19.</ref> and logistics support includes airlift capabilities provided by the [[Air National Guard|US Air National Guard]], using [[Lockheed C-130 Hercules|Hercules transport planes]] owned by the [[National Science Foundation]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://eastgrip.org/about/|title=About EastGRIP|last=Petersen|first=Sandra|date=23 February 2016|website=East Greenland Ice Core Project|language=en|access-date=17 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170628113110/http://eastgrip.org/about/|archive-date=28 June 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2015 the EastGRIP team moved the camp facilities from [[North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling|NEEM]], a previous Greenland ice core drilling site, to the EastGRIP site.<ref>{{harvnb|Dahl-Jensen|Kirk|Larsen|Sheldon|Steffensen|2016}}, pp. 8–9.</ref> Drilling is expected to continue until at least 2020.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/24/greenland-is-melting|title=When a Country Melts|last=Kolbert|first=Elizabeth|date=24 October 2016|magazine=The New Yorker|access-date=17 June 2017}}</ref>
