Richard Jones @rsjones.bsky.social · 12/02/2024The sun has set on our Antarctic season. A challenging and rewarding two months researching Denman Glacier. We leave with lots of samples to work on in the lab over the coming year! 081
Richard Jones @rsjones.bsky.social · 06/02/2024Hear from me on ABC radio about why we've spent two months camped in Antarctica. "We're really worried that the Denman Glacier has started to retreat and that this might continue" www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...abc.net.auScientists work to unlock secrets of Antarctica's Denman Glacier - ABC listenAlmost 30 Antarctic scientists have spent summer camped at the remote Denman Glacier, working to better understand how the system might change in a warming climate. 061
Richard Jones @rsjones.bsky.social · 12/01/2024Hello from Bunger Hills, our deep field basecamp in East Antarctica! Great people, great collaborations 🇦🇶 We're collecting records of how the potentially vulnerable Denman Glacier changed before 20th Century retreat🧊📉 161
Richard Jones @rsjones.bsky.social · 23/11/2023Great to see PhD student Cari Rand achieve his dream of going to Antarctica! His research project is reconstructing rates and magnitudes of past ice loss in East Antarctica from geological records 🪨 🧊 060

Richard Jones @rsjones.bsky.social · 05/10/2023Time to begin my 🔵☁️ journey! Based in Melbourne (Naarm 🦘), I'm a geoscientist/glaciologist/geographer investigating the behaviour of the #Antarctic ice sheet in a changing #climate, and the corresponding impact on #sealevel rise.
