🧵🧪❄️🌊As today is UN World Day for Glaciers I'm taking the opportunity to post this reminder that the main reason nobody can confidently predict how much sea-level will rise over the rest of this century and beyond is "deep uncertainty in ice sheet processes" (IPPC AR6). #WorldDayOfGlaciers #Sealevel

🚨job opportunity🚨 Durham is advertising 3-year fellowships (any field). We are very keen to hear from Antarctic/Cryo people who might be interested in joining a great group. The positions come with some travel & research funds. See here for details or get in touch www.durham.ac.uk/research/ins...

🧪🧵 Future change to #ThwaitesGlacier, Antarctica constitutes the largest uncertainty in #sea-level rise forecasts. The Science Coordination Office of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration recently issued a briefing document summarising some key findings - thwaitesglacier.org/findings

Excited to advertise a new interdisciplinary PhD opportunity at @geogdurham.bsky.social - "From ice to ecosystem: assessing the risk of glacier melt and legacy contamination for reindeer in Sápmi (Lapland)" ❄️ 🦌 To learn more about the project and how to apply visit: iapetus.ac.uk/studentships...

The PGC were an invaluable resource during my PhD in the US and have been super helpful for the Thwaites project, too. This will be a huge loss for the polar science community, I hope they're able to survive and support US colleagues in the future
