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.

Shots from the machine shop

Just a collection of shots from the machine shop:

Undergrad intern Claire McGillis helps machine a new cryostat: 


That time Elenore came to the lab and Ted got her to work on the old triax


Vincent using the surface grinder to prep side rocks for his ice-on-rock friction project

Ted explains the surface grinder to Dan, who is helping prep samples for carbonation experiments.

I make Seth stop and show off his first attempt at freezing in a transducer to capture seismicity during sliding of ice on till.

Hatsuki begins fabricating a box within which she will make a spray foam insulation mold.
