Another wander back to 2012 and the SIPEXII expedition. At the last sampling site (unplanned, we were stuck) - we had a visit from a Minke whale!
It decided to expand a hole that a seal made the day before - in ice about 10cm thick and not quite solidly frozen - for some room to breathe. The whale hung around for quite a while, returning to this spot to grab air.
It was .. very spectacular.

#FieldworkFriday: Sometimes the smallest finds tell the biggest stories. 🏺
Douglass et al. explore how sparse artifact scatters can reveal long-term patterns of land use. Using cases from Australia and the US, they show why documenting every the find is key.

It’s an exciting #FieldworkFriday for me today — I’m travelling from -2 °C snow in Denmark to 22 °C in Najaf, #Iraq!
Together with my colleagues Tobias Richter from Copenhagen and Jaafar Jotheri from Al Qadisiyah University, I’ll be scouting out potential sites for future fieldwork as part of #AEGIS (https://aegisearth.bio). It’s my first time in Iraq so I cannot wait to finally see all the places I’ve been reading about since I was student!

On this #FieldworkFriday here's a look at a Dust^2 team as they near the end of a day in the field.
Take a deeper trip into the field with Cluster member Jeff Munroe in our video series called The Collectors Tour: https://bit.ly/CollectorsTourPlaylist

In October, 2024 Jeff Munroe (Middlebury College) spent nearly three weeks traveling to 20 mineral dust collectors deployed on mountain summits in the southwestern United States for the DUST^2 Project, part of the Critical Zone Collaborative Network. This short film documents the majestic landscapes in which the collectors are located, and provides a sense of what it’s like to conduct such a long stretch of solo fieldwork.

#FieldworkFriday last week I visited the exciting Early Neolithic site Eilsleben in 🇩🇪 where the university of Halle is excavating. In the '80s they dug here and found the remains of farmhouses, animals, humans, and even a mask made from a human skull 😬
The Linear Pottery culture, dated to ca 5500-4800 BCE, which this site belongs to, seem pretty macabre to us today. But oh so cool too! I'm very excited to be collaborating on this project in the years to come 🤩
