Some good news at last! Sediments have been recovered by @swais2c.bsky.social team from UNDERNEATH the #Antarctic ice sheet. Fantastic achievement and more to come 👏❄️🇦🇶🧪 #geology #drilling

We’ve got our eyes on the prize 24/7, through blowing snow, lashing winds and sunshine. With more than 100 metres of sediment core retrieved, we’re more than halfway towards our target of 200 metres. Co-Chief Huw Horgan shares this expedition update from our deep-field camp at Crary Ice Rise.

Writing builds resilience by changing your brain, helping you face everyday challenges

Resilience is often presented as feats of bravery and endurance. But everyday practices like journaling, drafting a text or even writing a to-do list are manifestations of a capacity to adapt.

🧊Our researchers have just finished analysing ancient Antarctic ice spanning 1.2 million years of climate history! The Beyond EPICA project extends the ice core climate record by 400,000 years, helping us to understand long-term climate patterns and improve future predictions.

In three days, our iconic red planes will take off from Canada to make the epic journey across the world to Antarctica. These flights mark the start of a new polar science season. BUT ALSO that means there's three days left to send your name to Antarctica with us! tickettoantarctica.com

Heat waves are becoming more dangerous as temperatures and humidity rise. For healthy adults, the critical threshold for safe activity is lower than previously thought—around 88°F with 60% humidity. Staying hydrated and finding cooling spaces are key as heat risks intensify.

How hot is too hot for the human body? Our lab found heat + humidity gets dangerous faster than many people realize

New research on young, healthy humans found the body begins overheating when exposed to temperatures and humidity lower than previously believed.
