The rock and ice mechanics lab at Lamont-Doherty is led by PIs Christine McCarthy and Ben Holtzman. Now, more than ever, we are in the process of growing our lab and building our experimental program. Along with a team of postdocs, undergrads, grads, techs, and longtime staff engineer Ted, we are rehabilitating and revamping some of the old equipment and building and buying new rigs for exciting new experiments on both rock and ice. You can follow along with our progress here.

Fall AGU

Last week was the annual convention for the American Geophysical Union (AGU), held each year in San Francisco. More than 20,000 earth scientists gathered to share their research, network and collaborate on new projects. A big crew of folks from our lab were in attendance. Both Heather and Nicholas gave talks and Rachel, Mandy, and I presented posters about our work. Below, Rachel shows off her recent results from the paleothermometer project that she has with Heather and Pratigya.
