We’ve wrapped up drilling at Crary Ice Rise with 228m of sediment core. This is an unprecedented record of the history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet stretching back millions of years. Initial observations indicate the core includes periods of environmental change during past times of warming.

Our science team are preparing for when we have our first core on deck. They’ve dug out a pit for cold storage of microbiology samples. The warm science container has been transformed into a lab, ready to X-ray cores and take sediment samples for microbiological analysis.

It’s a very Crary Christmas for our on-ice team in Antarctica! After several weeks of weather delays preventing them getting out to our deep-field camp at Crary Ice Rise, on Christmas Eve the team received the best possible present – a Basler flight to Crary! Crary Christmas from SWAIS2C!

A truly inspirational group of women who were part of our field season in Antarctica this winter for the @swais2c.bsky.social project. Amazing skills, knowledge, and great vibes. Thank you to Angela Buunk, Ana Tovey, Molly Patterson, Yuri Yamazaki, Linda Armbrecht, Tina van de Flierdt, Jane Chewings

Shout-out to the awesome women of our 2024/25 on-ice team this International Day of Women and Girls in Science! From co-chief scientist to medic to hot water driller, these inspiring women played vital roles at our deep-field research camp. Thanks for your contributions to our critical science!

I'm so proud of my little Rates and Dates family and everything we have built together these last couple of years. ❤️ In a time of so much uncertainty in U.S. science, I'm finding so much comfort and joy in focusing on this brilliant crew and the amazing work we're doing together.

One of the most important things you can do today is your science. Knowing calculus/physics/genetics/chemistry etc. makes you rare and the world will need you to rebuild tomorrow. Practice your skills and pass them on. Keep the flame alive. 💚🌱🧪
