Great slide from DTU Space prof. Rene Forsberg illustrating the point I made in my last post on #SeaLeveLRise #Antarctica and #Greenland.
It matters where the water comes from

This really is not good. If the wind patterns continue to shift to bring lower latitude air to the Antarctic, this will accelerate the loss of polar ice and make the ecosystem changes happening there more abrupt.

#British overwinter scientists in #Antarctica are developing their own #accent:

Isolated for six months, scientists in Antarctica began to develop their own accent
Antarctica is a bleak, remote and dark place during the winter, but a handful of people each year brave the conditions to live in almost totally cut off from the rest of the world. The experience can change how they speak.

"#Antarctica sea ice reaches alarming low for third year in a row
The extent of ice floating around the continent has contracted to below 2m sq km for three years in a row, indicating an ‘abrupt critical transition’"

"For too long, too few have worried about Earth’s remotest continent and its largest refrigerator, while attention focused on the fires that burned, literally and figuratively, on more populated shores. Antarctica was variously portrayed as an explorer’s playground, a utopian land of scientific co-operation or a poster child for environmental protectionism. The exceptionalism is misguided"

"Heat from El Niño can warm oceans off West Antarctica – and melt floating ice shelves from below"

Heat from El Niño can warm oceans off West Antarctica – and melt floating ice shelves from below
El Niño can direct more warm water to the base of West Antarctic ice shelves, accelerating melting and increasing global sea level.

Last year @… held a workshop in #Copenhagen, we identified some key areas of research needed to better understand just how much ice Antarctica could lose. We wrote a summary and it's now out on early online release in BAMS.

Antarctica’s sea ice hit another low this year – understanding how ocean warming is driving the loss is key
Ocean warming seems the main driver of Antarctica’s sea-ice loss. But as satellites show, the change is not universal and sea ice persists in East Antarctica and the Weddell Sea.

Discussing some work on sea ice and coastal polynyas in #Antarctica with colleague and stumbled on this frankly glorious image from @… #Sentinel2 on 22nd March this year. So much going on in this picture from #ShackletonIceShelf in East Antarctica.

On subject of #Antarctica, today our #HorizonEurope project @… welcomes a new partner: National Antarctic Science Center of #Ukraine join us thanks to the #EU widening access programme.
They will deploy new instruments in the oceans around the continent, closing the gap in observations and making us a truly circum-Antarctic project as well as running advanced state-of-the-art models of under ice shelf melting.
Welcome 🇺🇦 friends 🤗🇦🇶
Details here soon no doubt: https://ocean-ice.eu/

Are you a #science / #engineering student in Denmark and looking for a part time study job?
@… are recruiting now for a student assistant to work with me and colleagues on evaluating some of the best regional (and potentially global) climate models in the world in #Greenland #Antarctica with #ESA satellite data sets. A particular focus on #IceSheets and will also be in collaboration with @… partners.
Deadline 5th May!
