Looks like the next week will be very warm across nearly the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet with widespread 5-15 C temperature anomalies. Multiple atmospheric rivers in West and East Antarctica will contribute to the heat. Definitely concerning as well are within the melt season

🆕Deep Learning to predict tipping in complex systems like ice sheets or ocean circulation under rapid #climatechange. The method issues early warnings, even amid noise, advancing the detection of critical transitions. New paper with PIKs Niklas Boers. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Come do a PhD with Channing Prend and myself! The project will use seal data and models to understand Antarctic Slope Current dynamics. Based in Edinburgh, UK, but with opportunities for time in Australia also. e4-dtp.ed.ac.uk/e5-dtp/super... 🌊

I'm super excited to share @carbonbrief.org's new and improved attribution map! Use the map to explore 600+ extreme weather attribution studies from all around the world: buff.ly/3URzsmI And check out my in-depth Q&A on attribution for all you need to know about this evolving field: buff.ly/4hRt4Gc

Australia pushing to ban social media to children <16 but happy to lock up kids as young as 10 in adult prisons is 🤷💔

In 2020, only 3.6% of the world’s population lived outside their country of birth. This has already led to a lot of anti-migrant rhetoric and policies. Imagine if 33% of humanity have to migrate.

No thanks, #woodsideenergy. Here's a challenge for you: - no more gas - invest in renewables - meet our obligations under the Paris agreement AND go even further

Calling all #glacios who teach undergrads: anyone have any ideas for laboratories / practicals that demonstrate the fundamentals of #Antarctic mass balance? I have computer-based ideas but want the students to have some more hands on experiences ❄️🥼🇦🇶

@drphilmccormack.bsky.social should be on this list too! PS do you have to still be living in the motherland to be added?

Resharing my Tasmania starter pack in case anyone is keen to follow a bunch of lutruwita/Tassie folk all at once. As always, if you think you should be on it and aren’t, or you’re on it and don’t want to be, just let me know. go.bsky.app/Dhstko4

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

Hola - with all the new folx on here, I realized we didn't have a starter pack of glaciologists and people who like glaciers. PLEASE let me know if I've missed someone or an organization! go.bsky.app/HG2KgXZ 🧪⚒️❄️🗻

For all Australian academic + unisuper members: Unisuper is the largest shareholder in APA, who is planning to develop a pipeline for fracking in Beetaloo Basin, NT. Let's put our mouths where our money is (?!) and call on Unisuper to stand against APA's plans: unisuperdivest.org/open-letter-...
