Friday science update. Gophers in Antarctica. Ocean instruments removed while working. White House wants to override experts for federal grants. Thwaites Glacier ice shelf may collapse soon (don’t freak!) in Antarctica, as @newscientist.com reports & @adrianluckman.bsky.social illustrated here.

Like Antarctic ice cores & the climate perspective they provide? They only happen with the 7 decades of sustained support we’ve given to the National Science Foundation, United States Antarctic Program, and Operation Deep Freeze. My two cents (or 180 seconds):

Two miles of ice core on the shelf at our national ice core facility in Lakewood, Colorado. The WAIS Divide core from West Antarctica is a 3400m long (deepest US core, 2nd deepest ice core ever) 68,000 year old record of high resolution climate.

NSF terminated NB Palmer’ lease early presumably due to flat funding + budget uncertainty going forward. American dominance in #Antarctica wanes, & our polar workforce falters despite how critical polar knowledge is to national security. Follow @ EidsonAerial (IG) for drone 📸 in #Louisiana.

And who funded this work…? NSF funded all the US Antarctic ice cores (💚🩵) & NOAA funds Mauna Loa (🖤). Antarctic ice is the only archive clean enough to preserve unaltered air in bubbles in the ice.

Take a journey through time down a new NSF COLDEX ice core borehole just completed by the team in #Antarctica! If you’re at #AGU25 stop by the COLDEX booth in the Exhibit Hall to talk to COLDEX team members from across the 15-institution center funded by NSF! @agu.org Follow us on IG @ coldex_stc

I’ll be with @pbsnews.org tomorrow from 11am for a live online AMA on science communication! Join in. Details below.

Take a break to touch grass if you can. Or in Minnesota, a crisp walk on snow in the woods. Keep leading the way through these unprecedented abuses, Twin Cities.

The ultrafascist clown is wanking on FOXNEWS. The reality. Iran won the war. Iran controls the SoH. The US of A has to accept this and she will lose all bases in the region. By the way, he threatens nuclear strikes once again, but that's how it is, I guess. Our great NATO 'partner'.
