Yes we Kamb!! Our new paper is out in @NatureGeosci about the history of Kamb Ice Stream, by first author @lawrenjk and working with our @AntarcticaNZ colleagues, funded by @NASAAstrobio and USAP. #Antarctica https://t.co/aW1HpmbQZM

Icefin's first science paper is out, part of a pair of papers from @GlacierThwaites ! https://t.co/Om4SYee7Wt

Friends.

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

[Ben Hurwitz @DiverNinja]

Looking for a full time engineer to join the lab!

We work on under-ice space robots and @icefinrobot, so if you've done robots before and want to see Antarctica, this might be the opportunity for you!

The @Icefinrobot team collected a remarkable survey with sonar, video and ocean data that explored the subglacial river hundreds of meters upstream from camp. @NSF

[Earth Sciences New Zealand @earthsciencesnz]

Using a new drill system, marine physicist Natalie Robinson @PolarGirlNZ and her fellow researchers have been able to collect intact samples of Antarctic platelet ice for the first time ever. @AntarcticaNZ

NGeo: Mounds and hills within Ceres’s Occator crater may have formed by freezing of water-rich impact-induced melt, by a process analogous to that of pingo formation on Earth

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: https://t.co/zKRDI6pAgy

[Eric Siegel @_eric_siegel_]

Join me in a discussion with Britney Schmidt, @lawrenjk and the @IcefinRobot 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! https://t.co/djfdCGIApt
