Tuesday night is #Antarctica night! I'm writing a plain language summary for educators about #SWAIS2C Sensitivity of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to 2 Celsius (of warming).

We'll drill through 2 sites on the Ross Ice Shelf and into the sediment below. Analyzing this sediment will help us learn more about past melting of the WAIS (West Antarctic Ice Sheet) when Earth was warmer and global sea levels were higher.
