The work is an outgrowth of #IODP379 Expedition to #AmundsenSea, led by co-chiefs @awi.de's Karsten Gohl and @uhouston.bsky.social's @wellner.bsky.social

@bas.ac.uk collaboration/discoveries from #IODP379 in #AmundsenSea reported this week in @PNAS :

I still can scarcely believe, as a land geologist, that I experienced was able to sail on #TheJR for #IODP379 deep sea drilling in outer #AmundsenSea. (And a lucky thing, too -- because there was a quantity of #IRD ice rafted ROCK debris that glaciers carved out of the continental bedrock!)

🇦🇶 Sendoff to @milesobrien.com @zhonggg.bsky.social from @nytimes.com. I know a few #ITGP and #IODP379 researchers who'll want to follow along 🇦🇶 ! @polarrobs.bsky.social @drtrevorwilliams.bsky.social @wellner.bsky.social @diatomdiatribes.bsky.social @khorikawa.bsky.social @passchier.bsky.social

West Antarctica’s history of rapid melting foretells sudden shifts in continent’s ‘catastrophic’ geology A picture of what West Antarctica looked like when its ice sheet melted in the past can offer insight into the continent’s future as the climate warms.

Early Pliocene West Antarctic Ice Retreat Explored In a groundbreaking new study published in Nature Communications, an international team of geoscientists has unveiled compelling evidence of significant West Antarctic ice retreat during the early
