Featuring the coveted UNSW-1 14C date - the first officially published #radiocarbon date from the CHRONOS 14Carbon Cycle Facility!

[Zoë Thomas @ZoeAmberThomas]

So happy to share this fantastic work led by @panarrama on the finding and revised #radiocarbon dating of volcanic ash #cryptotephra from Mount Hudson all the way over in the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) - fantastic dedication to get this paper published! @SAERI_FI @UNSWScience

[Pana Panaretos @panarrama]

Super excited to share my first paper, reporting a #cryptotephra from Mt. Hudson (Patagonia) in a peat bog from the Falkland Islands! Huge thanks to @pgalbert17 @ZoeAmberThomas @UNSWScience @SwanseaTephra

📣 Job Alert! Opportunity for a 2 yr postdoc at @UNSW working at the @ChronosUnsw 14Carbon-Cycle Facility! Involving stable isotope measurements and #radiocarbon dates from sediment cores and carbonates. https://t.co/4avZWQjw75

[ChronosUNSW @ChronosUnsw]

We're hiring! Looking for an instrument scientist to work with the talented CHRONOS team, helping to run our MICADAS AMS. Great job, great people, great place! Please spread to the word to all qualified folks. #job #radiocarbon https://t.co/hSYARQS72C

[Zoë Thomas @ZoeAmberThomas]

SO excited to finally take delivery of our peat cores from the #FalklandIslands! They have survived a 5 month journey across the oceans. Can't wait to get cracking on my @arc_gov_au DECRA project looking at changing southern westerly winds during the Holocene!

[Andrew Mackintosh ❄️ @AMacGlac]

Opportunity for a PhD student to join our awesome team!! Please RT.

Thank you @DrShaneRRR for having me on your show @einstein_agogo to talk about how ancient #Antarctic ice can hold clues about natural carbon storage processes! If you missed it, you can find the podcast here: https://t.co/XwMN0ldYTV @UNSWScience @Intrepid_Sci @IcelabKeele

How's the view from your office?
Check out Prof Chris Turney looking down on the Patriot Hills Blue Ice Area, on the edge of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.

A large part of the west Antarctic melted in the last interglacial.

Check out our piece in The Conversation on the sensitivity of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet during the Last Interglacial and what this might mean for the future #Antarctica

[The Conversation @ConversationUK]

Scientists discover just how sensitive the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet is to warmer temperatures – which is worrying considering this region is already melting. https://t.co/6qq5Q7agSh

[UNSW Science @UNSWScience]

Rising ocean temperatures drove the melting of Antarctic ice sheets and caused extreme sea level rise more than 100,000 years ago, a new international study led by @UNSW shows.

Scientists say we’re headed in that direction again. https://t.co/M71BMkRRs7

[Intrepid Science @Intrepid_Sci]

Link to @UNSWnews media release: Ancient Antarctic ice melt increased sea levels by 3+ metres – and it could happen again https://t.co/eXOP6QaRee

[Intrepid Science @Intrepid_Sci]

New article just out! Data from a West Antarctic Blue Ice Area shows early Last Interglacial ice sheet collapse, driven by less than 2°C ocean warming https://t.co/GonnITgUoa

[Intrepid Science @Intrepid_Sci]

Great to see @KeeleUniversity taking a global lead in such an important issue!

The UK has just become the first country to declare an 'Environment and Climate Emergency'. Read more in @ConversationEDU at https://t.co/xkO80D2u4S This is a really hopeful step towards a more sustainable future!

Some real leadership from the UK. The British are the first parliament to recognise a Climate ‘Emergency’ @UNSWScience @UNSW #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #environmentalemergency

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

“MPs have passed a motion making the UK parliament the first in the world to declare an “environment and climate emergency”.

Historic and very hopeful news. Now other nations must follow. And words must turn into immediate action. #ClimateBreakdown https://t.co/9CUv7jt0gm

A handy summary of the most talked-about climate science studies of 2018! #1 is from the Potsdam Institute, but also two more in the top 25, including our Nature paper demonstrating an observed slowdown of the Gulf Stream System. https://t.co/Rp3jZsUsPB
