Flashback to 2012 and drilling through 9.4 metres of first year sea ice off East Antarctica - just next to the surveying tripod. A two-person team effort adding metre lengths of auger one at a time until we hit ocean.

Was this an outlier for the region/time? combined upward looking sonar and airborne lidar say no.

I'm delighted to share that this is my office for the week.

Thanks to Dubbo Regional Council for hosting us again at Wellington Caves, Australia.

We'll be underground, continuing our investigation of caves as observatories of groundwater recharge.

In the meantime, this is Dippy the diprotodon.

What happens when you take a passive dust collector, put it in a place where it will get covered with snow for perhaps more than a year, then find out how much dust was in that snow. That's exactly what Critical Zone Collaborative Network Dust^2 Cluster member Jeff Munroe did.

In October, 2024 Jeff Munroe (Middlebury College) spent nearly three weeks traveling to 20 mineral dust collectors deployed on mountain summits in the southwestern United States for the DUST^2 Project, part of the Critical Zone Collaborative Network.

This short film documents the majestic landscapes in which the collectors are located, and provides a sense of what it’s like to conduct such a long stretch of solo fieldwork.
