You won’t find many academic posts in the uk. Most universities are downsizing their workforces and cutting costs aggressively. Most have hiring freezes. To think the uk can absorb any realistic number of international academics at the moment is naive.

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

A reminder that as we grimly watch the dismantling of US scientific research, we're not doing great here in the UK either. Just a slower decline.

FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than £2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations. Reform are NOT for ordinary people. They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

Icebergs? The size of a city? 90 miles from the UK? Must be a joke, right? No! Our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com shows massive tabular icebergs broke off the UK in the last ice age before the UK’s ice shelves disintegrated from climate warming. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41... @bas.ac.uk

I'm writing a new comic!! 🤩 The project, supported by the Curry Fund, explores the transformation of Arctic landscapes and the people who study them. This project will take me to the Tarfala Research Station in Sweden, looking at climate change through the ice, rocks, and flowers.

The 273 billion tons of ice lost in a single year (through glacier melt) is equivalent to the water consumption of the entire world population for 30 years, assuming three liters per person per day. Happy Glacier Day!

It's World Glacier Day. Global warming means they are melting. We know this from historical photos comparing their extent to now. We know this from detailed measurements of their length & thickness over the past few decades. We know this from measuring their mass from space in the past decade.

A couple of images dotting the walls here at UNESCO today - sadly, we've not done a good job of protecting our glaciers so far and the vital services they provide. As we enter into the Year of Glacier Preservation, we need a step change in policy action to protect these vital resources globally

❄️ ⛱️ 🌊 NEW ARTICLE out today in Nature Climate Change: ‘Glaciers give way to new coasts’ This ‘News & Views’ article coincides with the UN International Day of Glacier Preservation. Arctic glacier recession has revealed ~2500 km of new coastline since the year 2000. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It's the first International Day of #Glaciers! The ice worldwide is under threat due to rapid #climatechange. This day puts a spotlight on glaciers as a vulnerable but globally relevant element of the climate system. It is not yet too late to save them! @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social
