Today I did something that I have never done before 🤯 I countered a right wing politician in a newspaper 👎

To let his flimsy arguments and logical fallacies on climate change mitigation stand was simply no option 🛑

Happy to share that our article on ice volume, thickness and bed topography of all Scandinavian glaciers is now published in JoG FirstView https://t.co/n6kCV2XIMC 🥳

✅ Check it out to see how we use physics informed deep learning to produce bed maps of unprecedented detail 🤓

[Thomas Frank @TIcesnow]

Happy to share the first paper of my PhD 🥳 do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to apply the method on any glacier 🤓

Excited for #IUGG2023 to start and looking forward to my presentation on ice thickness inversion for Scandinavia on Thursday 🥳

Don´t hesitate to hit me up if you are around and want to say hello 👋

It's a wrap for my second summer school of the year! Had a great time and huge learning experience in the Norwegian mountains during #acdcsummerschool! Learned a lot about 🌍, 🌊, 🌤 and❄ in past and present

[UAF Geophysical Institute @UAFGI]

Nearly 30 early Ph.D. students gathered this month for more than a week of studies at the International Summer School in Glaciology in McCarthy, Alaska, and sponsored by:
@UAFGI
@nasa
@IASC_Arctic
@igsoc
@iacscryo
@FrontEarthSci
@theIUGG
and others. https://t.co/OsXqD0d7DY

Happy to share that a study I have been part of was just published 🥳 We analysed millennia old wood samples using a novel method such that we were able to preserve Milankovitch cycle climate trends in our dendrochronological time series

Short cut to academic success?🤔

Slightly exhausted but feeling great after returning from field-work on the remote ice cap Lomonosovfonna in Svalbard! 🤪😅Invaluable learning experience going there with other glaciologists from @UU_University and @UniUtrecht 👨‍🎓 #phdlife

The control of fjord geometry on the retreat of marine outlet glaciers explained by @TIcesnow including #ISSM animations and assessment of the imprint of topography on retreat dynamics for Jakobshavn. @HenningAkesson @BjerknesBCCR @uibgeo

I am featured in this short clip on reactions to #COP26 🤓 Asked about my take on the outcomes, I stressed that they are not in line with limiting warming to 1.5°C!

[Thomas Frank @TIcesnow]

Was a great pleasure to present yesterday at the @iccinet Cryosphere pavilion at #COP26

[International Cryosphere Climate Initiative @ICCInet]

Another fantastic talk this time by @TIcesnow!
#COP26

[Thomas Frank @TIcesnow]

Off we go to Glasgow! After a couple of days full of exciting science, but more importantly with face to face contact to many excellent scientists and other ECRs at the @igsoc nordic branch meeting in Oslo, I look forward to what #COP26 will bring

[Thomas Frank @TIcesnow]

@HeatherSelley @BryonyFreer @iccinet No, I´m there for week two only as one of the @iccinet early career scientist volunteers

[Thomas Frank @TIcesnow]

@HeatherSelley @BryonyFreer @iccinet Happy to hear you will be at #COP26 in the @iccinet Cryosphere Pavilion! I will be there, too, so looking forward to meeting you again 🙂

[International Cryosphere Climate Initiative @ICCInet]

Out now- @iccinet's first annual State of the Cryosphere Report!

Current inadequate climate pledges will result in melting polar ice sheets, vanishing glaciers, and thawing permafrost “essentially permanent on human timescales”

@Stefan__Kruse @Polar_Research Thanks again for presenting, @Stefan__Kruse 👏
