On the subject of joys and problems of fieldwork, flight to Antarctica delayed by 24 hours.
At least I'll be able to clear my inbox I suppose ..
#iQ2300 expedition has actually been in the field a couple of weeks already - you can follow our progress and all the complex logistics around working #Antarctica as well as the joys and problems of #Fieldwork on the expedition blog:

Researchers track massive ice loss from Berry Glacier in West Antarctica #Antarctica

Researchers track massive ice loss from Berry Glacier in West Antarctica
Berry Glacier, a tributary of the Getz Ice Shelf in West Antarctica, has deteriorated dramatically in the past three decades, according to researchers in the Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine.

Antarctica sees similar climate change effects as Greenland: Study
The planet's warming climate is having effects in Antarctica that increasingly resemble those observed in the Arctic, meaning global sea levels could rise faster than previously predicted, Danish researchers warned on Friday.

"Air temperatures over Antarctica have soared 35ºC above average. What does this unusual event mean for Australia?"

Air temperatures over Antarctica have soared 35ºC above average. What does this unusual event mean for Australia?
The stratospheric polar vortex high above Antarctica has rapidly heated up. These sudden bursts of heat can bring rapid weather changes in Australia

🚨 New preprint out🚨 now, why has Antarctica stopped (net) losing mass?
We explore how declining sea ice but mostly increasingly heavy and frequent atmospheric rivers have actually led to a small increase in the mass of #Antarctica, in spite of increased discharge from outlet glaciers.
The increase is unlikely to be sustained, and a small increase in calving or discharge over the grounding line can easily turn it upside down, but nevertheless another long-term prediction about the Antarctic appears to becoming true.
Lots of important subtleties in this one!
In review at Nature communications but I feel it's too important to wait for the review process.

My brilliant @… colleagues beat me to it. The evaluation for #Antarctica is out before I have done the model protocol paper! It's a great piece of work and if you're interested in high resolution climate information from RCMs, read it ❄️🌊🥼⚒️

Antarctic glacier retreats faster than any other in modern history, findings show #Antarctica

Antarctic glacier retreats faster than any other in modern history, findings show
A glacier on Antarctica's Eastern Peninsula experienced the fastest retreat recorded in modern history—in just two months, nearly 50% of the glacier disintegrated.

Our friends and @… collaborators in #Ukraine are featured in this documentary (that looks wonderful, alas this is only the trailer) about their work in #Antarctica. (Enable auto-translate on sub titles to appreciate in full).

Meeting LISA
LISA: the Lightweight In Situ Analysis box is one of a kind, built by our friends at PICE in the Niels Bohr Institute. Later this year we're taking LISA to #Antarctica for the first time ever, to analyse shallow #snow and #firn cores directly in the field. We hope LISA will help us understand how much snow falls in Dronning Maud Land, how much it varies from year to year and what is the influence of sea ice and far field atmospheric processes on the rate…
