One week until #EGU26 abstracts are due!
CL1.2.8 - "Beyond EPICA: old ice and the MPT" looks like it may be the greatest session of the last 1.2 million years (or so).
Will the big❓be filled in with new ice core data?

Tried the new tool in Google Scholar. Not super interesting, IMHO. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
I did, however, find this correlation with life 🚼, lab 🏗️, and other 🦠 events quite convincing. 😂

Planning logistics and this is my go to reference for how many ice core boxes can fit in a Eurocopter AS350.
...and the number of dudes needed to stand around looking concerned.

I promise to write a serious thread of what (IMHO as Peisong's advisor) is an innovative analysis. This will have to suffice for now.

As someone who routinely melts ice in vacuum (or rather with tiny amounts of air), I can confirm that this is true.

The third mass spectrometer made by Francis Aston on display in the new Cavendish Lab.
Probably should have cleaned the source more often but I’ll let it slide given that the guy basically invented mass spectrometry.
