Centre for Polar Ecology
@cpecz.bsky.social
The Centre for Polar Ecology (CPE) was established in 2013, and its main goal is to conduct and support research in polar ecology at the Faculty of Science at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Czechia.
Ferdinand Glacier (Svalbard) 1908 | 2018 Svalbard is the most rapidly warming place on Earth! 🔥 We are going back there to early Holocene glacier levels BUT without the same forcings! ☀️ 🌍 We wouldn't be witnessing this colapse today without human emissions. 🏭 journals.muni.cz/CPR/article/...
Take a look at these whale remains. They belong to a creature that once got stranded on a beach and couldn’t make it back to the sea. Except this beach is now several hundred meters inland and dozens of meters above sea level. How is that possible? And why does it matter? New paper alert! 🙂 👇 🧵

Martin Lulak@polarandycz.bsky.social · 9mo agoNew book out soon! 📖 (Unfortunately only in Czech) Planet of Melting Ice by Zdeněk Zvonek brings together 19 interviews with scientists from all sorts of fields — from biology to geology to social science — all united by one thing: their work in the polar regions. 🧊 👇🧵
Hello Svalbard! Working hard near the Czech station Nostoc in Petuniabukta. Here are some amazing pictures from our teammember Jan Kavan. He is doing some UAV surveying. Left picture: Hørbyebreen outwash plain Right picture: Ragnarbreen and its proglacial lake dammed by the LIA moraine
The search for life on Mars. That’s the main mission of Lucas Fernandez, a graduate of the Faculty of Science at the University of South Bohemia. 🧵👇
Oh, hello Svalbard! A completely new perspective on "our" archipelago thanks to so-called framonauts from the board of the spaceship Crew Dragon.
Our paper 🥰👇 but kinda sad topic for near future…
Nature Portfolio@natureportfolio.nature.com · last yr.As marine-terminating glaciers retreat, they reveal new coastlines in many regions. A study in Nature Climate Change shows these changes for the Northern Hemisphere, finding that between 2000 and 2020, a total of 2,466 km of new coastline has been uncovered. https://go.nature.com/423sOMX 🧪

New Scientist@newscientist.com · last yr.Greenland's coastline has grown by more than 1600 kilometres as glaciers retreat, potentially opening up new access to natural resources - but these new coastlines are vulnerable to landslides that could trigger tsunamis.
Did you know that from 2000 to 2020, retreat of marine-terminating glaciers exposed >2,400 km of new Arctic coastline? www.nature.com/articles/s41... Congratulations, @mettebendixen.bsky.social, @cpecz.bsky.social, Jan Kavan, Matt Strelecki, and co., on your excellent paper!

We are stoked to present a brand-new @natclimchange.bsky.social paper by our Jan Kavan! ❤️ Did you know that between 2000 and 2020, retreat of marine-terminating glaciers has exposed more than 2,400 km of new coastline in the Arctic? 🧵👇
New paper just arrived! Did you know there are trees in the High Arctic? They indeed are, just a little bit small. Just couple of centimetres. But they are a very important part of the ecosystem! 🧵👇
