Let's Talk Science: But What About Beryllium and Aluminum?

Last week, we shared with you how we use carbon to help us date the rocks. This week, Dr. Derek Fabel is sharing how we do something...

Last week, we mentioned how isotopes are created in quartz. One of these isotopes is carbon-14. We can use carbon-14 to tell how old the...

So, last week on Let’s Talk Science we talked about cleaning up our rock samples to so that they become pure quartz. But why quartz? What...

In our last article, we began explaining how remote sensing helps us with our mapping, the first “M” of our acronym. We use this to begin...

With a few days of good weather the team had a very productive time at one of our most northerly field sites, Straumsnutane. This site is...

We had our best day yet for collecting samples and seeing evidence of past, higher levels of the east Antarctic Ice Sheet. We returned to...
