A few days ago I started an airborne field campaign in Northeast Greenland ✈️❄️ With Polar5, we're heading out over 79°N Glacier. It's been 8 years since I was here on my first expedition with AWI.

Last week, I had the privilege of attending the 75th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting — an annual gathering bringing together 600 selected early-career researchers and 70 Nobel Laureates for one week of scientific exchange. #LINO75

🧪❄️🌊 I chatted with Patrick Pester at @livescience.com about the impending demise of the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf, future change to Thwaites Glacier itself and the implications for sea-level rise. www.livescience.com/planet-earth... #Antarctica #sealevel #ThwaitesGlacier

The 'Doomsday Glacier' is poised to lose its ice shelf this year. An Antarctic researcher explains what that means for global sea levels

Researchers have warned that the Thwaites Glacier, one of the largest glaciers in the world, is about to lose its eastern ice shelf. We spoke to marine geophysicist Robert Larter about what this means...

New study by AWI scientist Ole Zeising @olezsng.bsky.social: The bed beneath the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica is characterized by a complex subglacial environment with hard, steep basal slopes and extensive water-bearing sediments.

🧊 What lies beneath Thwaites Glacier? We traveled to #ThwaitesGlacier in #WestAntarctica to map the bed below 2 km of ice. Our new vibroseismic data reveal a complex landscape of ridges and deep wetlands that current models are missing. Read more about our expedition here: 🔗 go.nature.com/3OZLNWp

🗻Beneath Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica lies a highly heterogeneous bed of elevated ridges and sediment‑filled basins as well as an active lake, which presents a level of complexity that current models do not fully capture. @olezsng.bsky.social 👉Read more here: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

(1/5) Excited to share our latest research on #ThwaitesGlacier, now published in @commsearth.nature.com. 🎉 We’ve imaged the bed beneath Thwaites, revealing a complex landscape of hard bedrock ridges and deep, water-saturated wetlands. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s43...
