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.

Daning says goodbye

Last year we had a visiting grad student in our lab. Daning Zhong was working on a modeling project and helping with friction experiments in the lab.
In September she had to return to China because her 1 year visit was up. At Ted's goading, we took a walk around campus for a photo shoot. 

It was really nice having her visit. She did a great job applying the Aharonov and Scholz constitutive model of friction to high homologous temperature ice friction. Stay tuned for a Zhong et al. publication coming soon!
