Description
Summary:An autonomous underwater vehicle has produced the first 3D map of the underside of an East Antarctic sea ice floe, revealing an upside-down landscape reminiscent of mountains, lakes, and valleys. In other news, Peter Liddicoat, a materials scientist at the University of Sydney in Australia, has won this year's "Dance Your Ph.D." contest for his burlesque interpretation of his thesis titled "Evolution of nanostructural architecture in 7000 series aluminium alloys during strengthening by age-hardening and severe plastic deformation."
