Stoked to be joining @icy_pete , @US_IceDrilling folks, and the rest of the team on Mt Waddington! Great views of camp and the drill tent as the helicopter came in this morning.

No 💨 so up goes the big drill ⛺️! Amazing effort by the field team @COLDEX_STC including @marksjulia2 , @austincarter642 , @AbigailHudak , @JohnMorganManos, and others not on X! Which geologic epoch will we recover this year?!

This is from the Mendenhall River Floods in Alaska.
This happened over a span of six hours. 😧
Can you imagine watching that happen to your home knowing there’s nothing that can save it?
That’s a wrap folks. Combatant Col 2023 ice core is on its way to @IceCicl in a freezer truck. Such a great feeling to be successful finishing an awesome season with an incredible team.

Combatant Col and the ice coring team as seen by the @HakaiInstitute @UNBC Airborne Coastal Observatory -ACO on 26 June, 2023. Mt Waddington for scale...
So excited to be a part of this effort! – at Cariboo J, British Columbia

There’s some irony that my most dramatic flight delay on the Antarctic field season is on the Christchurch-Seattle leg. Wishing everyone up north well through this crazy weather.

✅The South Pole-based airborne geophysics team has completed science for the season, finishing a broad survey of the southern flank of East Antarctica's Dome A! Ice structure, thickness, & bedrock data will help plan future surveys for finding ancient climate records in the ice.
My first Antarctic season has come to a close. My single greatest takeaway was the sheer scale of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. I’d spent plenty of time looking at maps, but kilometres-thick ice stretching beyond the horizon in all directions still blew my mind.

Toured the DC3 yesterday. Built in 1942, this plane flew on D-Day and is now surveying for oldest ice @COLDEX_STC.
I learned lots working the HF radar system with @b_h_hills at @HerculesDome. We covered the basics, like how radar works and designing an efficient grid. But the biggest lesson I learned from Ben was the importance of possessing incredible patience to just keep chipping away.
