A Colorado School of Mines researcher is part of an international team that has set up a remote camp on the ice in Antarctica to attempt to drill for mud and rocks holding critical insights about the fate of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in our warming world.
Ryan Venturelli, assistant professor of geology and geological engineering, is a member of the science team for the SWAIS2C (Sensitivity of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to 2°C) project, a collaboration between 10 countries (New Zealand, the United States, Germany, Australia, Italy, Japan, Spain, Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom) involving more than 120 scientists.
