Yes we Kamb!! Our new paper is out in Nature Geoscience about the history of Kamb Ice Stream, by first author Justin Lawrence and working with our AntarcticaNewZealand colleagues, funded by NASA Astrobiology: Exploring Life in the Universe and USAP. #Antarctica sciencenews.org/article/antarc…

Icefin's first science paper is out, part of a pair of papers from International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration ! bbc.com/news/science-e…

Friends.

Looking for some help with upgrading my systems before our next deployment! Includes a 'free' trip to Antarctica! (Probably. )

NASA Dawn's second mission shines a light on dwarf planet Ceres — including prospects of a secret underground ocean and ice-filled hills that resemble Earth's terrestrial 'pingos' 🌊🗻

Learn about findings and project Pingo STARR, led by Georgia Tech EAS: bit.ly/cerespingos

The last observations of the Dawn mission to Ceres show tantalizing evidence that the dwarf planet bears striking similarities with Earth and Mars! Congratulations to the Pingo STARR team on their Nature Geoscience publication! To learn more, visit: buff.ly/33HtLy1

Covering everything from fishing for CTDs with Dr. Tiegan Hobbs (below) to integrating RBR sensors into underwater vehicles and exploring the sketchiest possible places under ice. All in part to help understand future sea level rise

Join me in a discussion with Britney Schmidt, Justin Lawrence and the Icefin team to learn about CTD measurements in Antarctica. They will discuss deep profiles and operations of the #IceFin under-ice ROV/AUV. Webinar is on 29 July. Register today.

We may be social distancing, but the Icefin team is still #RemoteSciencing ! Here’s what that looks like… LEGOs, multimeters, kiddie pools, computers, cats, and all! schmidt.eas.gatech.edu/2020/icefin-te…
