Emergent decadal predictability in Antarctic contribution to sea-level rise - Nature

Although Antarctic ice loss projections diverge widely by 2100, this Perspective shows that present-day rates robustly predict mid-century sea level rise, providing a firm basis for near-term planning...

New study by Werner et al. quantifying impact of model resolution for large-scale ice cover modelling (e.g. Icefields) with IGM. doi.org/10.5194/tc-2... We find coarse resolution creates much bias and impact of increasing res. on ice volume and speed is non-linear: more of a step-wise function

BIG NEWS! 📢 We are planning a new Polar & alpine fieldwork seminar series ❄️🏔️ Our last “Let’s talk fieldwork”-webinar is more than 5 years ago and we think it’s about time to cover this important aspect of polar and alpine science again in one or more online seminars! 1/x

SCAR invites the Antarctic and Southern Ocean research community to provide feedback on the draft Antarctica InSync Science Theme White Papers. Public webinars will be held on 19 & 20 Jan to discuss progress and gather final feedback. Share your perspective by 31 January scar.org/scar-news/in...

Have you heard of #AntarcticaInSync? A UNESCO-endorsed program for coordinated science in Antarctica & the Southern Ocean (www.antarctica-insync.org). We - APECS - aim to represent us early career scientists in the project 🙌🏼. You can find all FAQs on our new website: apecs-germany.de/antarctica-i...

Did your thesis focus on polar and cryosphere science? Show us what you researched – in a fun and creative video! 🎬 "Explain Your Thesis!" – APECS Germany & DGP’s new video competition 💸 Win up to €300 📅 Submit by October 1, 2025 Check out apecs-germany.de/explain-your... for more information!

🧊 New study in The Cryosphere! We identify oceanic gateways that could channel warm water to Antarctic grounding lines, based on high-res bathymetry. These deep pathways could drive major ice-shelf melt when cavities switch from ‘cold’ to ‘warm’ melt conditions. 📄 doi.org/10.5194/tc-1...

Bathymetry-constrained warm-mode melt estimates derived from analysing oceanic gateways in Antarctica

Abstract. Melting underneath the floating ice shelves surrounding the Antarctic continent is a key process for the current and future mass loss of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Troughs and sills on the con...

Exciting year ahead for APECS Germany! We’re happy to introduce our new Chair team for 2025/26: Lukas Monrad-Krohn will serve as Chair, supported by Co-Chairs Lena Nicola and Joana Steffens. We’re looking forward to a great year with the polar early-career community!❄️☺️

You can now read our assessment, ideas and suggestions in our paper published in Journal of Glaciology, concerning questions such as: What kind of community do we hope to build over the next fifty years? What are current challenges and barriers? 🔍 Link: doi.org/10.1017/jog....

📣 New paper: Where do we want the glaciological community to be in 2073? Some context: The Karthaus summer school is an occasion where parts of our research community comes together — In 2023, I was lucky to participate myself and it was the year in which a new workshop was included in the program.

What is SMB? @PolarRES has these fantastic storyboards explaining key parts of the project. I suppose more wil be added later too. https://polarres.github.io/Storyboards/smb

🚨 New paper alert! 🧪 🔥 How would heat extremes in Europe evolve under long-term net-zero emissions? Find out in our ERL article, co-written with @andrewkingclimate.bsky.social and Tilo Tiehn iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... Here’s a quick summary (1/n) 🧵

🌡️ Europe’s #heat extremes won’t stop, even at net-zero. Each year of delay locks in hotter and more frequent extremes for centuries. Mediterranean heatwaves could even be 30x more likely if the Paris Agreement is reached ten years late. 🧪 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... @edualastrue.bsky.social‬

🚨📢 New Publication Alert Our new study shows that the #WestAntarctic #IceSheet repeatedly crossed #TippingPoint thresholds in the past, with important implications for its future stability. Press release: www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late... Study: www.nature.com/articles/s43... 🌊🧊⚒️🧪🥼

Scientists say next few years vital to securing the future of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet

03.06.2025 – Collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could be triggered with very little ocean warming above present-day, leading to a devastating four metres of global sea level rise to play out ove...

⛰️ In a new study in @science.org, we project that 39% of the global glacier mass is committed to be lost irrespective of future warming. However, a lot can still be saved - see title: “Glacier preservation doubled by limiting warming to 1.5°C versus 2.7°C” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... [1/n]

Congratulations, such great news 👏🏼🎉
