📢 Check out our paper out today: Speed-up, slowdown, and redirection of ice flow on neighbouring ice streams in the Pope, Smith, and Kohler region of West Antarctica tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/... @universityofleeds.bsky.social @envleeds.bsky.social

Speed-up, slowdown, and redirection of ice flow on neighbouring ice streams in the Pope, Smith, and Kohler region of West Antarctica

Abstract. The ice streams feeding the Dotson and Crosson ice shelves are some of the fastest changing in West Antarctica. We use satellite observations to measure the change in ice speed and flow dire...

"Because Kohler East’s ice stream is flowing and thinning faster as it travels, it absorbs, or 'steals' ice from Kohler West. This is effectively ‘ice piracy’, where ice flow is redirected from one glacier to another," said @heatherselley.bsky.social. environment.leeds.ac.uk/news/article...

Satellites observe glacier committing “ice piracy”

A glacier in Antarctica is committing “ice piracy” – stealing ice from a neighbour – in a phenomenon that has never been observed in such a short time frame, say scientists.

University of Leeds@universityofleeds.bsky.social · last yr.

Ice piracy has been witnessed in Antarctica! 🐧 High-resolution satellite observations spanning over 17.5 years reveal a large glacier has been stealing ice from a slower-moving neighbour. Why is this happening? 🧵

Check out SENSEs @asharaslam.bsky.social excellent work published today "Atmospheric Response to Mesoscale Ocean Eddies in the Maritime Continent". Congratulations Ashar & team!

Atmospheric Response to Mesoscale Ocean Eddies in the Maritime Continent
