The New Zealand air force has evacuated three people from a US research base in Antarctica in a high-risk operation that required navigating through extreme weather and round-the-clock darkness.

Once on the ice, the plane’s engines are kept running to keep them warm while it is refuelled, known as “hot refuelling”.

Next week our ECR group are starting a #MachineLearning sprint to speed up the development of our new #IceSheet surface mass budget emulation models.

I'm looking for hints, ideas tips and inspiration to help smooth and accelerate the process.

If you're used to working in #Sprint mode, what in your opinion makes it work or otherwise hinders it?

What can I as supervisor do to make it run better?
And how should we celebrate it's conclusion?

Also, should me do an #AMA on the process?

Northern Arizona University: With new NAU research project, everyone’s an Antarctic scientist. “Working with Lumberjack Ph.D. student Gavin Moriarty, Salvatore will work with ecological researchers in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV) of Antarctica and the crowdsourcing platform Zooniverse to create a citizen science project aimed at measuring environmental change on the continent over the last […]

Interesting piece in Nature last week about Antarctic research infrastructure. China has just opened it's fifth station, as the US retreats from science in general, and especially polar research. Many countries in Europe are also rather weakly present in the Antarctic, and there is no common EU programme.

In Denmark, we haven't even ratified the Madrid protocols for environmental protection of Antarctica, never mind signed the Antarctic Treaty. In spite of the actually rather strong Danish input to Antarctic research in general - much of which is driven by the fact that our future sea level rise will be largely determined by what happens in the Antarctic.
