We’ve wrapped up drilling at Crary Ice Rise with 228m of sediment core. This is an unprecedented record of the history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet stretching back millions of years. Initial observations indicate the core includes periods of environmental change during past times of warming.

ICDP needs a Field Data Geoscientist to drive field data workflows for international drilling projects using mDIS and drill-site instrumentation. 📍 Place of work: Potsdam, Germany 📆 Start: ASAP | Fixed-term 31 Dec 2028 🗓 Application deadline: 1 February 2026 🔗 Apply here: www.gfz.de/karriere/ste...

Don't forget to submit an abstract for upcoming @geosociety.bsky.social 2026 section meetings! If you're attending the 2026 Northeast GSA Meeting in Hartford, CT, consider registering for our short course, "CoreNET—Best Practices in Coring and Analyzing Lake Records".

We have successfully drilled 200 metres of sediment core from beneath the ice sheet at Crary Ice Rise! The pipe is still spinning - with a bit of time up our sleeve, we’re not stopping drilling yet, as we continue to drill back through the geological archive hidden beneath the ice. 📷 Ana Tovey

We’ve got our eyes on the prize 24/7, through blowing snow, lashing winds and sunshine. With more than 100 metres of sediment core retrieved, we’re more than halfway towards our target of 200 metres. Co-Chief Huw Horgan shares this expedition update from our deep-field camp at Crary Ice Rise.

ICDP´s @swais2c.bsky.social drilling project (Antarctica) Season 3 begins! ❄️ Drilling for a 200 m sediment core deep beneath 500m of ice on the Ross Ice Shelf 👍 More project info ℹ️ www.icdp-online.org/all-events/d... SWAIS2C ℹ️ www.swais2c.aq

WEIHE Drilling Project (China): 1000 m depth reached 🎉 Core recovery rate: 88 % 👍 Results with an interesting lithological change to be seen! ℹ️ www.icdp-online.org/projects/by-...

They’ve made it across the Ross Ice Shelf! Huge congrats to the Antarctica NZ traverse crew, for completing a 13-day journey to our drilling site at Crary Ice Rise. They towed sleds with fuel, equipment and supplies, to keep our deep-field camp cranking. Now it's time to set up camp!
