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.

Ted Retirement Party

 After a long and exciting career with us, Ted is retiring. We threw a small barbecue going away party for him, inviting many of the people at Lamont (or retired) that have worked alongside Ted through the years. 



A case of rolling rocks (historical drink of the lab) was donated by Chris Marone.
A round of shots may or may not have been consumed while I was away at a meeting.

Even the geese (who are fed regularly by Ted) came by to give their regards.


And Hatsuki arranged this amazing tribute, getting input and old photos from loads of people from over the years.
