In spite of the extreme environment, or perhaps because of it, the secrets hidden beneath Antarctica’s ice continue to entice researchers who insist on making the journey to the southern hemisphere.

Congratulations to SALSA scientists, @helen_amanda and @trantermartyn for being awarded features in Antarctica named after them today--Fricker Ice Piedmont and Tranter Glacier!! And congrats to everyone else on the list too, including filmmaker @alastairfothergill! #britishantarcticsurvey
Calling all New Yorkers and wayward travelers en route to NY!! Next Saturday Jan 25th at 3pm one of our films, Coring for Climate,
@agu100 some of the SALSA team met to discuss the science from Subglacial Lake Mercer. We’re a very interdisciplinary team so when we put all our the fields of science together we get a more complete view of what life exists under this part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (and how) and how the ice might have changed in the past, to understand the future effects of climate change. The many benefits of our collaboration! #antarctica #nsf #climatescience
SALSA participated in the Environmental Literacy and Climate Change Project Summit with many incredible environmental leaders including former California governor Jerry Brown. SALSA PI @kathykasic gave a keynote and showed a couple of our films that we’ll be releasing very soon! @billy.takes.pictures
SALSA rocking the poster hall at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Conference today! The science results are coming in...stay tuned for more!
SALSA is at AGU, the massive American Geophysical Union conference presenting our scientific findings! More soon!
If you’re in Sacramento on September 26th, come see @kathykasic give a free public talk complete with SALSA science team film clips and science stories, all part of the Sac State STEM lecture series.
