It’s worth following what’s happening here - fascinating and precious icy relics from the depths.
@egripcamp
Thanks to all concerned for a “must read” editorial and series of ice core science articles. The @IpicsOrg community has a vital mission and future: visible in this issue and the Open Science Conference recently held in Crans Montana.
🥳It's OUT! The latest PAGES Magazine❄️"Sea ice in the polar regions” with a special section on "Early-career perspectives on ice-core science"🧊 is available to read🤓.

[Workshop] Tomorrow, as a continuation of #IPICS2022 International Partnerships in Ice Core Sciences, glaciologists involved in preserving #IceMemory ice cores will work on the next steps to save high quality data and drawn the road map for the years to come.
Good work to all!
#ipics2022 Keynote from a legendary figure in mountain glaciers Lonnie Thompson! Critical work with retreating glaciers and the vulnerable records they hold.
#IPICS2022 Day 3 begins with a fitting memorial for Heinrich Rufli🇨🇭 - a true pioneer in ice coring. Delivered by Jakob Schwander.
Fascinating keynote by John Goodge “Beyond ice coring — wide aperture exploration of the deep ice sheets”. Bringing geology to a vision of integrated ice sheet and basal observations. #IPICS2022
#IPICS2022 Is underway. Margit Schwikowski shows the daunting cowbell that speakers will encounter in timekeeping!

On October 2 – 7, the IPICS conference @IpicsOrg will take place in Crans-Montana. Here #icecore researchers will discuss the latest developments in this discipline. #climatechange fal.cn/3sigS
An exciting week coming - the ice core community is converging on Crans Montana after two Covid delays to its Open Science Conference. Tag your tweets #IPICS2022

What a great 360 view from the top of the drilling tower today at LDC Camp @OldestIce. s.insta360.com/p/070b30957a9……

Target coordinates for the @AusAntarctic @MillionYearIce core at Little Dome C are in: 122.52059 E, 75.34132 S. The result of years of work and collab with US and @OldestIce teams. Layer tracing and modelling indicate undisturbed ice >1.4 Mya. Pilot drilling starts this summer.

The cyan lines trace layers of known age back to the EPICA Dome C ice core (Cavitte et al., 2020; Lillian et al., 2021 and Roberts et al., [in prep]). The dark orange line shows bedrock and the white line marks a depth below which the ice layering becomes unclear (and may not retain a continuous climate record.

After planning for 10 years and a dream lasted three years, I’m finally in Little Dome C. Beyond EPICA is on the move.

The quest to find the world's oldest ice and learn more about how Earth’s climate has changed over the past several million years gets underway @Oregonstate thanks to a new $25 million @nsf award to @osuceoas' Ed Brook and collaborators. Read more: beav.es/UJR

The IPICS steering committee has elected co chairs Hubertus Fischer (Switzerland)and Tas van Ommen (Australia) for a second term, until August 2025.
The IPICS steering Committee, in conjunction with the Local Organising Committee for the Open Science Conference have considered the prospects for a viable OSC and we have reluctantly decided to postpone the meeting until October 2022. 1/2
It appears the @IpicsOrg 3rd Open Science Conference has been postponed until October 2022. See for the updated message at indico.psi.ch/event/6697/
