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

Characterization of the 1966 Camp Century subglacial core: a multiscale analysis

Abstract. In 1966, drilling at Camp Century, Greenland, recovered 3.44 m of subglacial material from beneath 1350 m of ice. Although prior analysis of this material showed that the core includes glaci...

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.

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.
