Excited to see this one out today! 🥳 It's been great working with @tomchudley.bsky.social during his time at @geogdurham.bsky.social - takes me right back to my roots researching englacial meltwater transfer. More to come on this in the future too!

❄️ NEW PAPER out today led by Honary Fellow @tomchudley.bsky.social alongside others in the group. Tom's paper explores the role of seasonal varations in ice dynamics for the drainange of surface meltwater through crevasses on Store Glacier, Greenland agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

The production of ERA6, coming up in 2027, has started. The next‑generation climate reanalysis from #CopernicusClimate will offer >2× finer resolution than ERA5, a coupled ocean–atmosphere–wave model, improved data access & more. Read more: climate.copernicus.eu/copernicus-c... @ecmwf.int

@agu.org The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is seeking community feedback on its draft position statements.This is your chance to help shape the science and policy priorities of AGU. The deadline to participate is March 30th! Click here: www.agu.org/Science-Poli...

I am beyond grateful to be a part of such a supportive graduate student community. So excited to have my first paper mug! Watch out department seminars. I’m arriving in style ☕️

Extremely excited to share that my first paper “Evaluating CMIP6 models for near-surface air temperature over Antarctic Ice Shelves” is published in the Journal of Glaciology! The first paper is always the hardest. Excited to continue investigating Antarctic ice shelf vulnerability!

Extra grateful for pottery as a way to decompress from PhD life. I’m designing a piece for my dissertation inspired by the changing polar environment—to bring a little calm to a stressful moment. An homage to an ice shelf that (hopefully) doesn’t collapse. #Pottery #ArtandScience #cryosphere

🧊 A great new feature piece in @physicstoday.bsky.social by ACEAS CIs Dr Catherine Vreugdenhil and Dr Bishakhdatta Gayen from @unimelb.bsky.social that unravels the mysteries of Antarctic ice‑shelf melting. Read it now: physicstoday.aip.org/features/unr...

Unraveling the mysteries of Antarctic ice-shelf melting

Beneath the ice shelves of the frozen continent, a hidden boundary layer of turbulent ocean is determining Antarctica’s fate.

physicstoday.aip.org

Nice summary of the importance of Antarctica's ice shelves and how little we know about them. Major differences between models of present day ice shelf melt need to be resolved. Paper here tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/...

Multi-model estimate of Antarctic ice-shelf basal mass budget and ocean drivers

Abstract. Societal adaptation to rising sea levels requires robust projections of the Antarctic Ice Sheet's retreat, particularly due to ocean-driven basal melting of its fringing ice shelves. Recent ...

The fate of the planet’s coastlines depends on how fast Antarctica’s ice sheets melt. We don’t know what’s coming #Climate

@zhonggg.bsky.social is currently on a South Korean icebreaker in Antarctica because the US is no longer a serious country. The Trump regime got rid of our Antarctic icebreaker, Nathaniel B. Palmer, so for the first time in six decades we are without a dedicated Antarctic research vessel.

Is Thwaites Still the ‘Doomsday Glacier’?

nytimes.com

​​Antarctica’s melting ice is raising global sea levels, worsening damage from floods and storm surges. Our reporter explains why the Thwaites Glacier is crucial for scientists who are trying to pin down how much extra water to expect, and how soon. Learn more: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/c...

I’m increasingly convinced that self care is climate action. After all, if we want a sustainable world, don’t we have to be sustainable too? For me, that means time with friends & fam, nature, knitting, chocolate, tea, and a stack of good books. What’s your favourite way to recharge?

I wrote to my representatives @hirono.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social, and Ed Case to tell them to stop the dismantlement of NCAR. You can do the same with your representatives at this link.

Save NCAR from being dismantled today!

The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

Interested in one approach to ice-shelf vulnerability to melt-driven hydrofracture? Join me tomorrow in Session C31A as I explore whether Antarctic ice shelves may become vulnerable to this process in the 21st century. Would love to chat and hear your thoughts on the work! #AGU25 #cryosphere

Take a journey through time down a new NSF COLDEX ice core borehole just completed by the team in #Antarctica! If you’re at #AGU25 stop by the COLDEX booth in the Exhibit Hall to talk to COLDEX team members from across the 15-institution center funded by NSF! @agu.org Follow us on IG @ coldex_stc

Made ice-themed mugs for my research group! Love how the glaze crackles like ice-shelf fractures. Question is: how would it calve? Working theory — accidentally (or intentionally) thrown thanks to buggy code. 🧊

Geoengineering is not going to save the poles from climate change

A review of the five main methods proposed for cooling down the poles or slowing the loss of ice concludes they are all wildly impractical, wouldn't work, or both

This is such important data to document… But not good news at all. I recognize *things* are happening, but we seriously have to do better. Support your trusted climate communicators!

Newspaper coverage of climate change around the globe dropped 6% from May to June 2025 -- and by 28% compared to June 2024, despite increasing frequency and severity of climate-fueled extreme weather events. Read more from the @media-climate.bsky.social here: mecco.colorado.edu/summaries/is...

In our final PhD year, we (@gsundaram98.bsky.social @ericawhiting.bsky.social) built a dissertation quest system: track goals, earn rewards (donuts, craft nights, etc.), face punishments (yes, a princess hat). It’s silly, it’s motivating, and it might actually get us to the finish line.

Awful. More horrible science news "The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing & delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025."

So far this week: ❌ SSMIS data halted (think sea ice, snow, hurricane, ice sheet monitoring, etc) ❌ climate[dot]gov removed and redirected to... ❌ NOAA Climate homepage, which was modified (e.g., removed Climate Stripes and Climate Ready Nation references) ❌ false bills to ex-probationary employees

Horrified by the sickening act of political violence in Minnesota. I pray for the family of Melissa Hortman and her husband, who were murdered in cold blood, and for the recovery of John Hoffman and his wife. The killer must be held accountable. This has no place in America.

Thankfully, the village was evacuated already, but one person is missing and everyone else’s homes are destroyed. Make no mistake: this is a climate disaster.
