How do we collect data in some of the harshest environments on Earth? 🛰️ SnowPI will combine satellite data, monitoring records and new field campaigns across the Arctic and Antarctic. These data will help improve climate models and support more accurate projections of polar change. #HorizonEU

Research findings can take years to influence adaptation planning. SnowPI is taking a new approach by advancing scientific discovery and societal application in parallel. While researchers improve our understanding of snow, others will translate this knowledge into practical info. #HorizonEU

❄️ We know the polar regions are changing. But how will those changes play out locally? SnowPI will use storylines to explore plausible futures for the Arctic and Antarctic. Rather than predicting a single future, storylines examine realistic climate processes and their consequences. #HorizonEU

❄️ SnowPI behind the science: deep learning! Some snow processes are too complex to accurately represent in climate models. SnowPI is exploring whether deep learning can emulate these processes, helping improve climate projections while reducing computational costs. #HorizonEU

SnowPI has joined the EU Polar Cluster!🇪🇺 Together, we'll strengthen European polar research through collaboration, knowledge exchange & shared expertise. We look forward to advancing research, modelling and observations. 👉Learn more: polarcluster.eu #HorizonEU @europeanpolarboard.bsky.social

❄️ Kicking off SnowPI – Polar Snow, Permafrost and Inland Ice in a Changing World! We are excited to announce the launch of #SnowPI, a new #HorizonEurope project. Over the next 4 years, we will put snow at the centre of climate science to explore its role in polar environments and global impacts.

As the PolarRES project officially comes to an end today, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this four year adventure 💙 The website will stay online with open access to all project resources: polarres.eu The journey continues with the upcoming SnowPI project, so stay tuned!

New preprint ✨: We explain why Antarctic ice-shelf melt responds non-linearly to warming, and show that the temperature-melt relationship differs between ice shelves in dry versus wet climates. Using new RACMO2.4p1 simulations until 2100 as part of @polarres.bsky.social project. 🇦🇶❄️

On the non-linear response of Antarctic ice shelf surface melt to warming

Abstract. Surface meltwater can saturate firn, form melt ponds, and trigger hydrofracturing of Antarctic ice shelves, ultimately accelerating grounded ice flow and contributing to sea level rise. Alth...
