[University of Florida Research @UFexplore]

Beneath Antarctica's ice sheet, the first layered sediments were successfully recovered by @SalsaAntarctica including @UF microbiologist @DrXner.
"Knowing the dynamics of the ice sheet in the past is critical for predicting how it may respond to changes in the future." #NSFfunded

[U.S. National Science Foundation @NSF]

🚨 NSF-supported @SalsaAntarctica recovered the first layered sediments from under #Antarctica's ice sheet, enabling researchers to better understand subglacial activity across centuries & better predict future environmental changes. https://t.co/sSJDqx79n9
