Scientists study the following two to determine air temperature at the time it was formed:
1. **Chemical isotopes in foraminifera shells**
2. **Ice formed thousands of years ago**
Tree rings and fossilized pollen can provide information about climate and environmental conditions, but the first two options are more directly related to reconstructing air temperatures at the time they formed.
