@agu.org should give the social media person at Eos a raise.

Antarctic Sea Ice - Eos Dear Eos: The ocean around Antarctica is critical to ocean circulation, climate, and ecosystems. There, vast quantities of heat and anthropogenic carbon are drawn down from the atmosphere and stored a...

Antarctica in the winter? Yeah, it really is that cold 🥶❄️🧪

New Lessons from Old Ice: How We Understand Past (and Future) Heating - Eos Fragments of blue ice up to 6 million years old—the oldest ever found—offer key insights into Earth’s warming cycles. Researchers are using these ancient data to refine models of our future climate.

What’s it like doing fieldwork in Antarctica? 🥶 Sarah Shackleton and @blueicedude.bsky.social from @princeton.edu can answer that.

They just found a 6-million-year-old ice core—a key piece to improve our current climate models!

A team of #NSF Center for Oldest Ice Exploration #COLDEX scientists recently found 6 million year old ice in Antarctica. That's old ice!

Air bubbles trapped inside this #ice provide an unprecedented view of Earth's past #climate.

Olivia stands in front of her conference poster, which is titled "Low-Volume Noble Gas Measurements to Detect Melt Layers in Ice Cores: Preliminary Results."

I had a great time presenting my ice core research at the American Geophysical Union fall meeting last month in NOLA! #AGU25

The critical research that unlocks our climate's past and future may be on thin ice “There’s questions that we don’t know we should be asking yet.”

See interviews from lab alum Ben Riddell-Young and PI Ed Brook in this Mother Jones article on the future of ice core research.

Hi y'all! Are you interested in learning more about various #polar #careers outside of academia!?

If yes, you're in luck!! PSECCO and COLDEX partnered on creating this 'Polar Careers Outside of Academia' profiles resource for all to explore: psecco.org/polar-career...

Inside the Race to Find Earth's Oldest Ice A global race is on to drill for the oldest known layers of Antarctic ice so researchers can peer back in time to a warmer climate to better understand the planet’s hotter future

The NSF COLDEX ice coring team is set up for another field season in the Allan Hills, a windswept region of eastern Antarctica where scientists have found 6-million-year-old ice. Locked inside are the secrets to understanding our ancient climate. I covered COLDEX last year for @sciam.bsky.social:

Huntington man braves Antarctica to research how ancient ice reveals Earth's climate history Jacob Chalif is part of a three-month mission with COLDEX — the Center for Oldest Ice Exploration — searching to record the Earth's climate history through ancient ice.

I interviewed a scientist in Antarctica this week, as one does.

The COLDEX project is looking for the world’s oldest ice and the history of climate change.

"When I think about Antarctica, it’s all about sea level rise, and Western Antarctica is the heart of the beast and the crux of our problem.”
