TFW you've spent ages trying to solve a tricky problem and it. just. does. not. work. You take a break, come back, try something new, nope still nothi... Wait! It's there, there it is! That's the data...
🥳🎊
That is why we love doing #science and in an increasingly packed day, the opportunity to work away uninterrupted* on a focused problem is increasingly rare. *That's* why I love fieldwork...
Details in a #FieldDiary soon.
*Uninterrupted time helped today by failure of all internet phone communication in Qaanaaq..

Returned from an expedition to the Lower Ice Lake ("Unterer Eissee") beneath Hallstätter Glacier #Dachstein #Austria with @…, Ulrike Herzschuh (both @…) and Jakob Korneli (@…). We wanted to take lake sediment cores to reconstruct the vegetation development of the last c. 130 years.
We previously did some avalanche rescue training. Unfortunately, the snow and avalanche conditions prevented us from reaching our destination, and we had to return.
