Instabilities and Thresholds in Antarctica" is a Research Programme from the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research. It fosters multi-disciplinary discussions and research priorities about ice sheet instabilites from paleo to future to inform policy.
❄️IPY5 Discussion Forum Join our 4 online discussions (21/28 July; 15/22 Sept.) on Antarctic change, future priorities, and collaboration across on/off-ice communities for the International Polar Year 5 👉 Register here: open to everyone forms.gle/d1Fb4HbGYbBK... @scar-antarctic.bsky.social
How do we move from alarm to action when talking about tipping points? Join our webinar to unpack how tipping points are communicated, and how we can make these complex concepts clearer, more relevant for audiences. 🗓 Wednesday, May 27 ⏰ 14–15:30 CEST 🔗 https://loom.ly/wm5ywS0
