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 lab

 Just some miscellaneous pics from the lab over the years.

Rob, Ted, Ben and I think Genevieve, check out polarized screen to prep for an Open House exhibit


High School students checking the shortening of a cheese deformation

Visiting grad student Daning and I in front of the old triax set up.

Kris is using the microscope to image compacted firn.

Seb transports ice samples in the lab

Cassandra traces grains for a grain growth study.


Sometimes I think we should try to get money from Carhartt. We wear a lot of it. On the left Thomas gets ready to go back in the walk in with his sample that has been pulled out of LN. On the right, Daniel, Caitlin, and Charlotte share the tiny freezer space, showing off their Carhartt gear in action.
