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.

Rock Mechanics at the GRC

We got the whole team together at this year's Gordon conference. What a great group!
We even had our newest member, Seth, who hasn't started yet.

Seth won the Lamont Postdoc Fellowship and will start this spring. He's going to be working on ice-till friction but will revamp and include all kinds of new gadgets and methods, like measuring acoustic emissions and using machine learning to compare lab micro-events to real ice stream events. We're super excited to have him joining us!
New grad student Kristina, who is working with Heather, also joined the conference and killed it at her poster session.

Although we're not supposed to take pictures, I snapped a super fast one of Genevieve during her opening slide. She was one of only a couple of students asked to give a talk at the conference. She did an amazing job!!

And if you've ever been to GRC, this last picture needs no introduction. The non-vegetarian amongst us all donned our little bibs and dug in. Over all another great GRC!
