Center for Oldest Ice Exploration

Collaborative @NSF-funded research center @OregonState searching for the oldest ice on the planet to improve our understanding of Earth’s past climate.

[Center for Oldest Ice Exploration @COLDEX_STC]

Despite 30 knot winds at the Allan Hills, Antarctica, where ice cores up to 2,700,000 years old have been found, @SpaceX Starlink continues to give the @NSF-supported COLDEX team unprecedented connectivity! @blueicehiggins @icy_pete

[CFANS @CFANS]

📆Next week, join the Dept of Soil, Water, and Climate for the 31st Kuehnast Lecture in the Fields of Meteorology and Climatology.

🧊Ed Brook, professor @OSUCEOAS and director @COLDEX_STC, will discuss climate lessons from ice cores.

[John-Morgan (JM) Manos @JohnMorganManos]

Amazing experience presenting my recent research with @COLDEX_STC in the Allan Hills at #EGU this week. Had many great conversations and excited for more collaborations in the future!

[DEEPICE Project @deepice_project]

🧐What's an ice core? How do we drill ice in🇦🇶? Why & how do we study them? What can ice tell us about climate?

DEEPICE students answer all these questions in our 3mn-videos designed as an educational resource for high school students, teachers & general public #ClimateEducation

@KevZag Indeed! Thanks for sharing. The same plane also put in camp for our Allan Hills ice coring team, drilling for million+ year old ice. They are just wrapping up their season now.

[Kevin Zagorski @KevZag]

This particular plane has been running flights out of Pole for the past several weeks supporting the @COLDEX_STC project. It fires radar through the mile-thick ice sheet in hopes of locating ancient ice which may capture gaps in the earth's climate record.

The second field season for @COLDEX_STC is underway in #Antarcica - check out this @CBSNews piece. https://t.co/IINM91a0JX

[Beyond EPICA @OldestIce]

Drilling is running smoothly from 8:00 to 0:00: 30 m of ice were added today, reaching a depth of more than 1260 m. Core processing is going well too and at this rate they will caught up with the drilling by next week. The dual tube snow sampler was also tested.
