Ice Memory ice coring campaign on the Corbassière glacier on Grand Combin. At seven metres below the surface, the drilling team smelt that something was burning. Worried that the motor was overheating they pulled up the sample carefully and found there was plastic in the ice.

Fast ice, or landfast ice, is ice that is anchored to the shore or ocean bottom, typically over shallow ocean shelves at continental margins. Fast ice is defined by the fact that it does not move with the winds or currents.

NatGeo's Secrets of the Penguins is out now and features one of our very own - Dr Michelle LaRue!

We've supported Michelle at the Cape Crozier penguin colonies near Scott Base and we're stoked to hear NatGeo are recognising her talents, too! ow.ly/MhAy50VVmIh

Ancient ocean sediments link changes in currents to cooling of Northern Hemisphere 3.6 million years ago

Important contribution from Dr Katharina Hochmuth @IMASUTAS (physical parameters of sediments), part of the international research team working on this @NatureComms paper ⬇️

Scientists from @TCD_NatSci have linked changes in deep sea sediments to a period of cooling in the Northern Hemisphere 3.6 million years ago, implying profound changes in the circulation of currents occurred at this time.
