BelowtheIceByCarolynBraneckyBegeman

WhenIwasanundergraduate,Iheardthatagroupofscientists were preparing to drill through the WestAntarctic Ice Sheet to a lake beneath the half-mile-thick ice. I had just finished an undergraduateresearch project looking at sediment that wastransported during floods from similar under-icelakes~8,000yearsago.Ithought,howcoolwoulditbe to see what these lakes look like today, andcontacted a lead scientist on the project, UCSCprofessor,SlawekTulaczyk.

Alas,Iwasbornayeartoolatetoparticipateinthe lakedrilling,whichhappened inJanuary2013while Iwas still finishingmyundergraduate degree.But Slawek encouragedme to comeworkwith himonthesecondstageoftheproject,whichwasdrillingintothedeepinteriorofAntarcticaslargesticeshelf,the Ross Ice Shelf. That sounded equally exciting tome, so I secured a graduate fellowship from theNationalScienceFoundationandmovedouttoSantaCruz.

When the ice shelf drilling project happened inJanuary 2015 (delayed a year by the 2013government shut-down), it was worth the wait.AboutaweekbeforeIarrivedonsite,mycolleaguesand the U.S. Antarctic Program set up a remotecamp: 500miles from the nearest Antarctic station,surrounded by flat, white terrain with theTransantarcticMountainsvisibleonacleardaytothesouth. The coastlinewas out of sight but therewasocean a half-mile beneath our feet. Since ourobjectivewasto learnaboutthissub-ice-shelfocean

setting,ourdrillingteammelteda3-ft-wideholeintheiceby loweringahosespewinghotwaterthattheymeltedfromsnowonsite.Whatgarnered themostpressattentionwhilewewere in the field was the spotting of amalnourishedfish.However,asanEarthscientistIwas interested in processes that affect the icesheets dynamics, with the goal of improving sealevel rise projections. Specifically, I wanted tomeasure the sources of heat below the ice sheetandtheircontributiontoicemelting.Thissectorofthe ice sheet is not experiencing much surfacemelting because air temperatures are still quitecold, -20 C on average. Thus, melting from thebottomof the ice sheet ismore important to sealevelprojections:onland,meltwateratthecontactbetween the ice sheet and the groundmakes theiceflowfastertowardthecoast;oversea,meltingof iceshelvescanalsomake iceflowfasterastheiceshelfshrinksinsize.ElevatedgeothermalheatfluxProfessors Andy Fisher and Slawek Tulaczyk andUCSCs Machine Shop worked together to designandbuildageothermal instrument thatwas smallenoughtobelowereddownanicesheetborehole.Thus, this instrumentwas used to collect the firstdirect measurements of geothermal heat fluxbelow the ice sheet, the second of which SlawekandIcollected.TheWestAntarcticIceSheetislocatedontopofabroad rift system, similar in scale and degree ofextension to the Basin and Range. This new

measurement is revealing a geothermal heat fluxfieldthatiselevatedandspatiallyvariable,perhapsnot unlike geothermal heat flux in the Basin andRange. However, this could make creating ageothermalheatfluxmapforicesheetmodelersacomplicated endeavor, given the lack of directmeasurements and limited knowledge of the

geology that is buried beneath the ice sheet. Implanning to contribute another measurement ofgeothermalheatfluxwithaNewZealandAntarcticteamthisyeartohelpfillinthesegaps.SuppressedoceanicheatfluxTypically,iceshelvesmeltfastestattheirlandwardextent, where they first go afloat. Since the ice-water interface is deepest there and the meltingpoint of water decreases with pressure, the heatcontentoftheoceanwaterrelativetothemeltingpointisgreatestthere.Ourdrillsitewaslocatedatthis deep sub-ice-shelf ocean cavity, where wewouldexpectice-shelfmeltingtobefast.However,mycolleagueDr.OliverMarsh (Canterbury) found

thatmeltratestherewerenogreaterthanaveragefortheiceshelf.When I analyzed the oceanographic data wecollected at that site, I found that the waterderivedfromice-shelfmeltingwasformingacold,fresh layer sitting buoyantly along the ice-shelfbase. This water layer that insulated the ice-shelfbase from the warmer (but still very cold, -2C!)seawater. From these observations, Im learningwhat conditions keep ice shelves stable, and alsowhatmightmake themvulnerable to breaking upinthefuture.Weveseenmajor iceshelfcollapsesin the Antarctic Peninsula in the last severaldecades and in the geologic record since the LastGlacialMaximum. These events, which trigger icelossand sea level rise,motivateme toassess ice-shelfvulnerabilitytochangesinoceanconditions.This is now the last year of my Ph.D. and Iminvestigating the prospect that glacial retreat onvolcanoes will trigger volcanic eruptions.

Our drill site is located at the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf (orange dot, WGZ). This site lies within the extensive West Antarctic Rift System (WARS). The largest U.S. Antarctic Station is located at the opposite end of the ice shelf on McMurdo Island (McM).

1984DallilahSabba,BS(MS1988):Born intheMiddleEast, Dallilahs early education was initially inBaghdad but later carried out in England whereone of her teachers urged her to take anA level(high school) course in geology. An extraordinaryteacherwhosolidifiedher loveofgeology taughtthis course. Subsequently she and her mothermoved to the U.S., eventually settling in SantaCruz, where she enrolled initially at CabrilloCollege, transferring later to UCSC. Her seniorthesiswasapetrologicstudyoftheMioceneSantaCruz Mudstone, research that remains the onlydetailedanalysisof this formationthatdominatesthe coastline in and north of Santa Cruz. HerMasters thesis was a detailed depositionalenvironmentandpetrologic investigationof lowerTertiarylimestones,knownastheBurnsSandandassociated with basalts in the Santa CruzMountains. Her initial professional workexperiencesfocusedonenvironmentalprojects inthe Bay Area with Dames & Moore and TheEllington Group. This work set the stage for herbeing hired by SLAC National AcceleratorLaboratory, Menlo Park in 1997 as anEnvironmental Engineer (Geologist). SLAC is aDepartment of Energy (DOE) physics laboratorymanagedbyStanfordUniversityforDOE.Foundedin 1962, it is one of the worlds leading linearparticle accelerators and the site of numerousgroundbreaking scientific discoveries. It includesresearch in Astrophysics and the Linac CoherentLight Source where researches can study matteronthefemtosecondscale.Dallilahsearlierworkinthe private sector on environmental problems,particularlyherfieldinvestigations,enabledhertocontribute significantly at SLAC from the start ofherappointmentthere.Shedealswithavarietyofenvironmental issues, particularly those dealingwithsoilandgroundwaterremediationprojects.Inher spare time, Dallilah focuses on her love ofminerals (she is a member of the Bay AreaMineralogists) and on outdoor photography,interests that allow her to continually enjoy thegeologicwondersofCaliforniaandNevada.

His Ph.D. thesiscentered on Miocene phosphatic deposits inCalifornias Cuyama Basin. a proximal facies of theubiquitousMontereyFormation.Utilizinghisengineerstalentfordeconstructingthepartsofcomplexentities,hesucceededincorrelatingthenumeroussub-faciesinthe Cuyama formations with the components ofsequence stratigraphy. This allowed reconstruction ofsealevelvariationsandtectonicsubsidencewithinthisbasin.AfterleavingUCSC,hereceivedanappointmentto the faculty of the Minnesota State University,MankatowherehehasadvancedfromAssistanttoFullProfessor. Among his accomplishments was thepioneering development of a certified B.S. degreeprogramintheDept.ofChemistryandGeology,whichhe promoted through the addition of new EarthScience faculty and Adjuncts, new facilities andequipmentincludingastateoftheartsciencebuilding,and substantial external grant funding. Along withteaching courses in engineering geology,environmental geology and hydrogeology, Bryce hascontinued research in surficial and groundwater,
