"Scientists in Arctic race to preserve 'ice memory'

Scientists camped in the Arctic are set to start drilling to save samples of ancient ice for analysis before the frozen layers melt away due to climate change (...) Italian, French and Norwegian researchers are in Norway's Svalbard archipelago in what they called a race against time to preserve crucial ice records for analyzing past environmental conditions—planning to ship them all the way to the Antarctic for storage."

Hacía mucho tiempo que no encontraba un texto maravilloso que una vez empezado es imposible dejar de leer.

Combina la mejor ciencia con una historia personal muy emotiva y bibliografía más que interesante.

question, since I think my brain is overcomplicating/overthinking this:

On an x-z plane, how can the driving stress (let's say of an ice sheet) be horizontal when the bed slope is 0?

Shape of a sheep or shape of a wig?
Roches moutonnées are glacially scoured rocky hills with planed-off slopes “up glacier”, and steeper “plucked” sides “down glacier” as the ice sucks chunks of rock up. The etymology is obscure:

(Atlantic article).

Many south to southeast slopes in New England are steeper than northwest slopes, e.g., Mount Monadnock in south central New Hampshire, USA.

Excited to announce here that Poul Christoffersen will be joining the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) at University of Tasmania from March as Professor in Glaciology.

Poul will bring to Australia additional, and much needed, expertise and leadership in ice sheet and glacier science.

Last set of examples of soft sediment deformation in the. Squantum Member of the Roxbury Conglomerate, Boston Bay Group; Neoproterozoic and approximately contemporaneous with Gaskiers glaciation.

Although previously interpreted as a tillite (it is still sometimes referred to as the “Squantum Tillite), the “consensus” is now debris flows and turbidites.

Possible dropstone in the Neoproterozoic Squantum Member of the Roxbury Conglomerate, Quincy, Massachusetts USA. See previous posts for more background.

Interesting overturned fold, probably syndepositional(?). Neoproterozoic Squantum Member of the Roxbury Conglomerate, Quincy, MA. I visited these rocks with my “Earth’s Dynamic Systems” class this fall. Tillite or debrisite/turbidite? Many debrisite/turbidite features, a few possible dropstones, not much faceting or striation. Possibly contemporaneous with Gaskiers.

Just an idea for now, but I'm thinking of creating a subreddit for sharing and research and news. This is to combat the mis/disinformation surrounding climate and earth sciences present on Reddit.

Who would like this?
