📢 Looking forward to giving a seminar at ENS de Lyon on 3 September 2026 (11:00 AM). I'll be presenting some of my PhD research on ice–ocean interactions beneath Antarctic ice shelves. More details will be announced soon! Seminar page: www.ens-lyon.fr/PHYSIQUE/sem...

Congratulations to Prof. Pete Convey, terrestrial ecologist at British Antarctic Survey, awarded the 2026 SCAR Medal for Excellence in Antarctic Research! 🎉 SCAR awards this medal annually for significant contributions to Antarctic research. #PolarScience #Antarctica 🧵1/2

It's unlikely to be this extreme, but this morning's UKMO model run has insane heat heading up from France in about a week's time. 850hPa temperatures of 24C in the south would support surface temperatures near 40C. ECM has 850s touching 20C, supporting surface high temps of 35C.

New paper in GRL! 🎉 We reported direct observations of baroclinic submesoscale eddies beneath the Ross Ice Shelf. These small eddies can alter heat transport to the ice base and influence ice-shelf melting. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... #Antarctica #Oceanography

Baroclinic Submesoscale Eddies in the Ross Ice Shelf Cavity Alter Heat Pathways to the Ice Base

Mooring records reveal evidence of baroclinic eddy like variability beneath Ross Ice Shelf These eddies are submesoscale (∼11 km) and lift High Salinity Shelf Water upward, providing a potential ...

What Lies Beneath an Ice Shelf

Beneath Antarctica’s largest ice shelf lies a hidden ocean—dark, cold, and almost impossible to reach. Scientists drilled through hundreds of metres of ice to access it, revealing a world that plays a...
