I wrote another thing for The Conversation... this one is a bit of a TLDR for a new paper on a pretty extreme corner of the oceans.
We spent a month drilling thru 500 m of ice to install some sensors that would then talk back to us via satellite - pretty strange to be watching data come in from beneath an ice shelf when sat at your desk. 🙂
It's probably the fanciest paper I'll ever write so its a bit nerve wracking seeing it out (the journal article that is - not the Convo article). #Antarctica #Oceans #climate #SeaLevelRise
Also some dissonance to have this good thing and then everything else, as we know, is basically on fire.

@wavygk@mastodon.nz I hear you with the dissonance on completing something good in the present climate. Keep calm, carry on, rage against the machine, look for your opportunity to put a stick in its spokes.
