US #Antarctic scientists have no research #icebreaker. In a world where #polar regions are changing and increasingly tense, this is a big blind spot limiting progression of human knowledge and preservation of Antarctica for peace, international cooperation, and science.

US McMurdo Station, #Antarctica on departure. Largest research station on the continent, operated by the United States Antarctic Program of the National Science Foundation. Supported by Operation Deep Freeze. Jan 2023.

The US ice core research community, with international partners, has recovered valuable records of past climate from the Arctic & Antarctic since the 1950s. Here is a sampling of cores—including 6,000,000 year old ice via NSF Center for Oldest Ice Exploration—at the NSF Ice Core Facility.

How do we know old Antarctic ice is old? Got a few minutes? Atmospheric argon isotope dating: a process discovered last century here at UMN (Al Nier) & perfected by scientists at Princeton (Bender). This is COLDEX science funded by NSF and conducted in university communities nationwide.

This is the National Science Foundation. We can’t access #Antarctica without expert pilots, logistics experts, mountaineers, etc. We all bring our skills to bear. I bring being an ice nerd who understands how polar logistics and science teams come together…

Snow blowing off the front of Dotson Ice Shelf, Antarctica. This timeline cleanse brought to you by US National Science Foundation and Korea Polar Research Institute funded research to understand past climate history in changing Antarctic coastal regions.

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.

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

Trying to engage more about US Antarctic science and presence, mostly over on IG and TikTok (3 min video limit here, clipped). 🙏 ❄️ @icy_pete

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.

On Sunday we knocked on over 4000 doors and heard a clear message: people want change and they believe it’s possible. Vote Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin #1 in Dublin Central.

“The gap in the market is to be pro devolution” Andy Maciver Suggests that Scotland is in need of a pro-devolution party that wants to utilise both Westminster and Holyrood, and that it could be the key to electoral success in the Scottish Parliament.

I spoke with Alex Witt about how “Operation Epic Fury” has become an epic disaster. This war is costing American lives, raising prices, and strengthening our adversaries. Time to end it.

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'.

Great that you woke up sir and I accept your apology. But the damage you made with your vote is almost too much to recover from. Tony

🇺🇸 🇺🇦 “Why are we abandoning Ukraine like this?” - Senator Angus King directly asked Pentagon representatives whether it's true that the budget request for 2027 does not provide funding for the Ukraine aid program.

Trump started his trade war with China without ever considering China’s grip on rare earth minerals. The fallout has been wide ranging.

🚨‪ Wes Streeting - did you see our memorial bench outside Labour HQ? A year ago, it stood outside Tory HQ. Despite a new govt, the #NHScrisis continues. Hundreds of people a week suffer severe harm or death due to urgent care delays. Will you invest in the NHS to stop this?

Some of Cuomo's closing argument choices have been, shall we say interesting 🤦🏾‍♂️ And this one was BEFORE @Trump's last minute endorsement 😬😳🫤

Time and time again, the Republican majority has chosen its own priorities over VSO priorities. This week is yet another example. These bills are not bipartisan, we don't know how they will be paid for, and they don't reflect VSO requests. This is hardly a responsible reauthorization process.

A new generation of advanced AI-powered drones are reaping havoc in previously untouched areas to the rear of Russian forces. Logistics trucks have been blasted in Donetsk city and along the largely untouched M-14 southern coastal highway, connecting Crimea with the Russian border east of Mariupol.

If you haven’t voted yet, stop what you’re doing and vote. Right now. People like Brad Sherman don’t fear politicians. They fear young people showing up. That’s how 31-year incumbents stay in power. 🌽✈️ or democracy? Your choice. #ChrisAhuja #CA32 #BradShermaniPad
