Centuries-old mercury pollution hidden in the ocean threatens Arctic wildlife
Despite global reductions in mercury emissions, mercury concentrations in Arctic wildlife continue to rise. A study published in Nature Communications by researchers from Aarhus University and the University of Copenhagen reveals that ocean currents may be transporting legacy mercury pollution to the Arctic—posing a long-term threat to ecosystems and human health.

Interesting piece on the #Arctic #SeaIce and it's (improving) representation in global climate models by Gavin Schmidt over on @realclimate, I'm not entirely sure all of the improvement is for the right reasons, there are probably compensating biases, it would be interesting to see if the models get the regional signal correct in different parts of the Arctic, but overall I agree with this piece, there have been some big steps forward in global models, the regional level is often not very well represented though.

Pumping Water Onto Sea Ice Could Halt Ice Loss in the Arctic—Nonprofit Proves 'Naive' Idea Plausible
The craziness of the whole endeavor is only matched by the urgency with which they believe something must be done to address sea ice loss.

Way back in 2022, as the world tried to readjust back to "normal" following COVID - I helped to co-organise a bootcamp with sponsorhop from the @… IASC, @… and a generous dollop of help from @… and @… colleagues.
We gathered 10 senior scientist mentors and 22 students in an old torpedo research station (now used by Roskilde University) for 10 days. It was an extremely intense period but the 4th paper produced by this talented group has just come out.
I consider facilitating #EarlyCareerScientists to work on important science problems an extremely rewarding part of my job, and I'm looking forward to the next one already as part of our PISCO project.
In the mean time, go and read this extremely cool work, collecting together a huge number of radiosonde observations going back to the 1950s over the Arctic Ocean and using them to assess how well CMIP6 models represent lower atmosphere.

Snow is incredibly important in the #Arctic: it affects sea ice growth and melt, glaciers and ice sheets, permafrost, vegetation and animal life. Today's twofer #FieldDiary update on the last few days contains quite a lot about #snow. Also #birds.
And, data...
