Last week PhD student @yqnatdeng.bsky.social and @chslane.bsky.social were sampling cores from an Ethiopian lake…in Aberystwyth! Here’s hoping there’s lots of ancient cryptotephra to be found!

A group of ~30 people of various ages stood in front of an elegant blue building draped with flowers. They’re holding a banner with the logo and name of the “Integrating ice core, marine and terrestrial records” network on it.

Thanks @chslane and @jinheum for the update!
