Morrisville, NC, April 8, 2022. Farmers around the world are increasingly focused on improving the health of their soils. This interest is well-placed because healthy soils generally have more plant-available nutrients, are more drought resilient, more disease suppressive, and more profitable. Management systems that improve soil health also benefit the environment by sequestering more carbon,

Glaciologist Dr. Peter Neff, known as “Icy Pete” on social media, connects a new generation to climate research. Law Dome, Antarctica; photo by Dr. Peter Neff What sound does a piece of ice dropped down a 90 meter ice borehole make? Glaciologist Dr. Peter Neff asked this question while he was on a research expedition in Antarctica, and captured the answer on film. The sound—the ricochet of the ice bouncing against the walls on the way down, then an unexpected pew like a laser beam when it reaches the bottom—seemed like science fiction. When he uploaded the video to Twitter in 2018, people stopped scrolling for a moment to listen: “It makes this fantastic sound and that went mega viral totally organically, a couple million views in a few days.” Known as “Icy Pete” to his nearly 200,000 followers across Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram, Neff is a glaciologist and Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Soil, Water, and Climate. Since that viral tweet, Neff has continued to share engaging stories and science from Antarctica with his followers. Today, he was recognized as one of the top climate educators using social media to combat misinformation and inspire people to take action by Pique Action and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment (C-CHANGE). The inaugural list features 16 Climate Creators to Watch in 2022. A glaciologist who measures ancient air trapped in ice to study changes in the atmosphere, Peter has participated in four research expeditions to Antarctica, each time gaining more responsibility for the science conducted. “There are moments to be a tourist and take pictures, but there are also mostly moments to be very focused and pay attention to the science.” A few seconds of video captured on his iPhone of each step of the process—setting up camp, drilling a bore hole, melting the ice to release the trapped gasses—translates well to TikTok’s format of short-form mobile videos.
