A pollen core is method of retrieving and examining sequences of pollen deposited over long periods of time. They are used in studying historic climate change and are comparable to ice cores. The cores are put through deposits where pollen is likely to have been trapped, in soil sediment or peat bogs where the anaerobic conditions have great preservative qualities. The cores are then subject to pollen analysis by palynologists who are able to infer the proportions of major plant types from then concentrations of different pollen types found in the cores.
