I hate this notation. 30 metres tonnes/hour? 30 millitonnes/hour? 30 megatonnes/hour? 30 metric tonnes/hour? 30 million tonnes/hour?
Context clues indicate it’s probably 30 million tonnes/hour. Which is also Megatonnes (Mt).
Anyway, I digress.
I worked in the arctic for years. It’s happening faster there than anywhere. Feedback loop where open water has a lower albedo and absorbs more sunlight…
Geophysics (mapping the subsurface). Largely related to mineral exploration, but also sometimes infrastructure development or environment cleanup or other things. I was often first boots on the ground in a lot of places, having to set up a winter camp upon arrival by bush plane. Good times. :)
I blew out my knee and settled down now to operate a geophysical equipment business. But I think back fondly.
Damn, that sounds epic and adventurous. Thanks for sharing, that’s really cool. Not a common thing to have a chance to be that far out, much less in that context.

Can you share what you did in the arctic? Sounds interesting…

Looking forward to the incoming ice age tbh.
Seriously though, the melting sucks.
You’re gonna have to wait awhile. We’re still in an ice age
