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.

Considering @scar-antarctic.bsky.social this summer in Oslo? We are soliciting submissions for Session S13: Past, present, and future of Antarctic marine grounded basins. See scar2026.org for meeting details. @polarrobs.bsky.social @deformedearth.bsky.social and more are co-chairs. 🧪❄️

Night shift viewz with @swais2c.bsky.social!

Our science team are preparing for when we have our first core on deck. They’ve dug out a pit for cold storage of microbiology samples. The warm science container has been transformed into a lab, ready to X-ray cores and take sediment samples for microbiological analysis.

It’s a very Crary Christmas for our on-ice team in Antarctica! After several weeks of weather delays preventing them getting out to our deep-field camp at Crary Ice Rise, on Christmas Eve the team received the best possible present – a Basler flight to Crary! Crary Christmas from SWAIS2C!

Did I wake up in 2017 or are we really still writing articles like the last 8 years didn’t happen? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/27/c...

Our new glacier biogeochemistry review paper is officially live! Check it out here 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Love seeing @anamariecox.bsky.social promoting rezdawg. Support nuggets like ours going to good homes.

Full house for @ericsteig.bsky.social’s @coloradoscholes.bsky.social Climate Seminar today.

Hey. You. Go work for @deformedearth.bsky.social! 🇦🇶

Always great to see awesome people getting funded to do awesome science 🧪 big congrats to @adrianerlam.bsky.social, @imogenmireille.bsky.social, and Ruthie Halberstadt! 👑 www.binghamton.edu/news/story/5...

Applications are now open for a Glasgow-based Iapetus DTP project centred on using in situ 14C to study glacier histories in East Antarctica! tinyurl.com/3ddvynn2 @stever60.bsky.social @uofglasgow.bsky.social @iapetusdtp.bsky.social @bas.ac.uk

Cool new paper from Cat Collins and our Greenland lab group. Using CT scans to study frozen soil from below the Greenland Ice Sheet. Open access. Thanks NSF for supporting this research. ❄️🧪💙📚 #scicomm #climate #UVMresearch #science  🌎 🔬 ⚒️ #ClimateHealth #NSF cp.copernicus.org/articles/21/...

AGU session announcements the day abstracts are due

CONGRATULATIONS to our very own @mikebentley.bsky.social who has been awarded an OBE for his services to Antarctic Science! Mike has not only made an outstanding contribution to polar science, he is also a fantastic colleague and we are all delighted for him! ❄️🥳 www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/...

Having a blast teaching at the Mines Geology field camp this week. Lots of Pinedale glacial deposits 🥰

It’s been the absolute best two weeks at @geogdurham.bsky.social chatting about ice history, subglacial science, and all things radiocarbon! I’m heading home very excited and inspired about future research directions!🧊🇦🇶🤓

If you are still following me on the other place, my account has been hacked and they won’t help me recover my account. I promise I’m not a crypto girly now. 🙃

🎂5 years! 🎂 Thank you to every author, reviewer, and editor who has played a part! Looking forward to all that is ahead! #AGUPubs

We wish our researchers, partners and all aboard RSV Nuyina a successful mission south to study changes to the Denman Glacier system from the ocean. #DMV - it's finally here! @antarctic.bsky.social | @arcsaef.bsky.social | AAD

Students are using my paleoclimate problem sets to communicate climate change to their parents. The kids are alright, y’all.

Because of a snow, @baylorfk.bsky.social’s Mines Climate Seminar has been rescheduled for MONDAY at 10 am in Hill Hall 202. Register for the Zoom stream here: mines.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

A truly inspirational group of women who were part of our field season in Antarctica this winter for the @swais2c.bsky.social project. Amazing skills, knowledge, and great vibes. Thank you to Angela Buunk, Ana Tovey, Molly Patterson, Yuri Yamazaki, Linda Armbrecht, Tina van de Flierdt, Jane Chewings

I'm so proud of my little Rates and Dates family and everything we have built together these last couple of years. ❤️ In a time of so much uncertainty in U.S. science, I'm finding so much comfort and joy in focusing on this brilliant crew and the amazing work we're doing together.

Welcome home, my Pt/Rh beauties 😍 Time to melt some quartz!

One of the most important things you can do today is your science. Knowing calculus/physics/genetics/chemistry etc. makes you rare and the world will need you to rebuild tomorrow. Practice your skills and pass them on. Keep the flame alive. 💚🌱🧪

These are fantastic small grants for Early Career Researchers working on Antarctic Science projects. Supervisors - please point your students towards them. A huge range of projects and people have been funded over the years.

What I would give for an EGU session advertisement filter for listservs emails 😭

Chuffed to have contributed to this new QSR paper led by @geologicaljo.bsky.social! Check it out of you fancy learning about glacial deposits in the Hudson Mountains, West Antarctica, and what they tell us about past ice thicknesses, thermal regimes, and ice flow directions 🧊🇦🇶🏔️ tinyurl.com/yh9je8sf

2024 can’t end without one final 🎤drop from the fabulous @rogercreel.bsky.social! Read all about sea level in the Holocene in his new @naturecomms.bsky.social paper linked in the 🧵 below 🇦🇶

Plz do not email me I am very busy watching my dogs be extremely cute together.

Go work with @chrisdarvill.bsky.social 🤗🧊

🔥New paper alert!🔥 We show that ice near Thwaites Glacier was thicker 1.4 kyr ago, which fits West Antarctica growing in the Common Era. Led by @cosmokeir.bsky.social, with key work from @radatmines.bsky.social, @mmglacialgeo.bsky.social, @geologicaljo.bsky.social, @stever60.bsky.social, + more. 🧵

Another fabulous paper from @cosmokeir.bsky.social and friends 😊! 🇦🇶🧊🪨

🔥New paper alert! 🔥 Jacky Austermann and I show that simultaneous Antarctic collapse + Laurentide persistence during the Last Interglacial (130,000 - 115,000 years ago) could explain the local sea level oscillation observed in the Bahamas, Seychelles, Australia, and elsewhere. tinyurl.com/yjj7w2mr 🧵

Time to get some Orediggers graduated! #helluvaengineer @coschoolofmines.bsky.social

Englacial and subglacial drilling workshop, time on the hill, and a little celebration. It was my most productive AGU yet and I didn’t even go to the conference 🤣. Now back to Golden for graduation!👩‍🎓😎🎉

#AGU2024! #AGU2024! Want to see what the research group is up to? We got you covered. Check out any of talks or all of our talks — drive.google.com/file/d/14_7b...

Hey, @darthbluesky.bsky.social, we used to be fren at the other place. Thought I’d tell you I’m here and we adopted another lil’ pup (of course naming him after an #Antarctic scientist). Plz meet Barkley Kamb Siegurelli. He loves stagnated ice streams, sticky subglacial mud, & older brother Pawson.

Erm. I guess I should have said..dogS. Bsky, meet Barkley. Much like his namesake, Barclay Kamb, he is sure to be into dark grey, sticky, sub-ice-stream muds. 🥰

🚨New paper alert!🚨 Led by the fabulous @mmglacialgeo.bsky.social and Ellie Abrahams. We automated subglacial bedform detection 🧊🪨 Check it out to learn all about the wonders of 🛏️bed🛏️ 🔎finder🔍! doi.org/10.1111/bor....

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Geochemist: whatever just make sure the cup is labeled

I guess I’m doing this bsky thing now. 👋👋👋 Come for the Antarctic paleoglaciology and nerdy lab content, stay for cute pictures of my dog.
