Antarctica gained a record 695 billion tons of ice. Scientists found the surprising reason
East Antarctica gained an astonishing 695 billion tons of ice between 2021 and 2023, temporarily slowing Antarctica’s long-term decline. Researchers found that warming thousands of miles away in the tropical ocean altered atmospheric circulation and funneled moisture toward the continent, triggering exceptionally heavy snowfall.

Antarctica’s melting ice is pushing marine animals beyond their limits
Melting ice is adding freshwater to Antarctic coastal waters, where lower salt levels can disrupt marine animals and even damage their gills.

Satellites show Earth lost more than 12 trillion tons of ice from Greenland, Antarctica in 47 years #Antarctica

Satellites show Earth lost more than 12 trillion tons of ice from Greenland, Antarctica in 47 years
About 12.5 trillion tons (11.3 trillion metric tons) of ice from glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica have melted since 1979, which is enough frozen water to stack ice 5 feet (1.5 meters) deep across the continental United States, according to a major scientific report.

🚨new publication alert🚨
Some types of El Niño lead to more melt over the Ross Ice Shelf in #Antarctica.
In our paper led by PhD student Sanjiban Dutta, we look at the synoptic relationship where Eastern Pacific El Niños channel warm moist air over the Ross Ice Shelf. One to watch with the current #ElNino building..

Finally got around to writing about our paper on #Antarctica, #AtmoRivers and #SeaIce - better late than never I guess?
