Our new paper is out today in @EGU_TC !
"A cold laboratory hyperspectral imaging system to map grain size and ice layer distributions in firn cores" tc.copernicus.org/articles/1…
With coauthors @keegan_kaitlin, @UTSnowHydro, Chris Donahue, @BigGreenClimate, Bob Hawley, @snowradar

Recently, I've been digging up strangers' PhD dissertations to read the acknowledgment section. Couple pages of the most sincere and romantic text you'll find about what makes them tick
Highly recommend if you want a feel-good read that doesn't require a functional attention span

Check out our new paper! And please enjoy this great write-up on it in @CIRESnews: cires.colorado.edu/news/warm…

So thrilled for and proud of my partner @meredith_parish for defending her dissertation today!! Her dedication, hard work, and ability to maintain a healthy work life balance continue to inspire me through my own grad school journey. An amazing scientist and even better person ❤️

Super excited to share my recent Tools of the Trade article, published in @NatRevEarthEnv, highlighting the role of digital imaging of ice cores in paleoclimate studies!

🚨 Paper alert! Ever stumbled across a #melt-affected #IceCore record and wondered how to make sense of it? Our new review paper sheds some light on the issue. 💡

Published today in @igsoc, our new study that includes the first in-situ observations of Antarctic ice-shelf fracture due to surface meltwater lakes: bit.ly/4aZ0SNz

What’s it like to do science at the edge of the world?
Glaciologist, @AliBanwell, takes us on a deep dive of her recent fieldwork in Antarctica at the US McMurdo Station:

Just a little extra fun: look at the diversity of features these images can capture! They can detect small monograin ice crusts and preferential meltwater flow paths!
The accompanying firn grain size and ice layer dataset is available to the public here: doi.org/10.18739/A2J38KK2T
Please use it for any grain size or ice layer stratigraphy need you might have!
