Read on to find out about how we can understand the AMOC through boundary pressures. Part of the OceanBound project I've been working on with @andrewfstyles.bsky.social for the past few years, along with colleagues @liverpooluni.bsky.social 🌊

What if the ocean current keeping Britain warm started to slow down? ☔ The AMOC acts like a giant conveyor belt, moving heat from the tropics to our shores. Models predict that the AMOC could slow down or collapse – potentially leading to new extremes in weather. 🧵1/2

Nearly 50 years of observations at Rothera Research Station tell a clear story: 📈 June 2025 was the warmest since records began 🌡️ June 2026 could rank among the warmest too 💧 This is the third midwinter in four years with no sea ice at Rothera Here's our write up: www.bas.ac.uk/news/think-i...

Think it’s hot here? The Antarctic Peninsula is unusually warm too - British Antarctic Survey

As extreme summer heat causes disruption across the UK and Europe this week, Midwinter at Antarctica’s Rothera Research Station is becoming increasingly unrecognisable.

Professor Kate Hendry, Climate Scientist at British Antarctic Survey (@krhendry.bsky.social), has written about what this all means – for the planet, polar ecosystems, and the future of Antarctic science. 🔗 Read Kate's full commentary: bit.ly/4vdC2nu 🧵5/5

Extreme warm weather is changing Antarctic science - British Antarctic Survey

Antarctica has been experiencing more extreme warm weather. These changes affect global climate systems, and make it harder to carry out our science.

Happy Birthday to Sir David Attenborough - from your namesake, RRS Sir David Attenborough! 🚢 The link between Sir David and this ship is very special to all who work on it. True to his legacy, it's where we do world leading polar science to understand these precious regions of our planet.

You’ve heard of tsunamis before, but we bet you didn’t know they could be underwater and created by calving icebergs? 🌊 Like icebergs, much of a glacier is hidden under water so huge chunks of ice can break off, or calve. And when they do, they send shockwaves throughout the water.
