The Tweetin'IceShelf

I am a series of GPSes coupled to a radar system, tweeting continuously my position. Follow me how I advance into the ocean. I am deployed in December 2014.

@MarloWordyBird The scientific excitement after we took this one of sub-surface lakes on the @TweetinIceShelf makes this one special to me.

[The Tweetin'IceShelf @TweetinIceShelf]

Some new exciting research on me :-)

New paper is published in GRL https://t.co/UKJmZilNxN. Direct measurements of subshelf melting with ocean evidence suggest a novel mechanism: topography waves, whose strength is modulated by sea-ice and tides, control the subshelf melting near the grounding line. @ULBSciences

Great talk by @highlatitude about high-resolution mapping and importance of surface melting on Antarctic ice shelves @AGU_Cryo @theAGU #agu2018

[ARCHIVED - NASA Climate @NASAClimate]

Snowfall accumulation in parts of Antarctica increased in the 20th century. The added precipitation has led to some mitigation of sea level rise. Overall, Antarctica still lost far more ice than it gained. https://t.co/SS89bUgC2e

I am confused. @highlatitude shows that I melt and @DrBrookeMedley that I gain more mass. #agu18

[The Tweetin'IceShelf @TweetinIceShelf]

Fantastic. Now I have no privacy at all anymore!

[Stef Lhermitte @StefLhermitte]

TFW when you find your @mass2ant colleagues in a #sentinel2 satellite image while they are servicing 2 weather stations (https://t.co/VZAn6vmk31) on an ice rise near @TweetinIceShelf. Satellite technology can be amazing! @lenaertsjan @AntarcticBase

.@highlatitude discovers large melt duration across my surface. Is this the start of something scary? @TottenGlacier @ThwaitesGlacier

[The Tweetin'IceShelf @TweetinIceShelf]

@TottenGlacier @ThwaitesGlacier @glacier_doc @AGU_Cryo @Polar_Research @AntarcticPIG I am the joker. I gain mass #RBIS

[Stef Lhermitte @StefLhermitte]

Nice overview paper on the role of "Antarctic surface hydrology and impacts on ice-sheet mass balance" and happy that it features some impressive meltwater pictures of our Antarctic campaign on @TweetinIceShelf. It is already my favourite reference for many upcoming projects.

[The Tweetin'IceShelf @TweetinIceShelf]

Impressive... https://t.co/mvReESRz2Q

[Stef Lhermitte @StefLhermitte]

@AntarcticReport @UTGeophysics @chadagreene Probably, @TweetinIceShelf is where meltmater is most widespread this summer https://t.co/EvIdmYdHka

[Stef Lhermitte @StefLhermitte]

.@TweetinIceShelf , incl. its "famous" moulin crater, is giving a summer pool party again this Antarctic summer

[Stef Lhermitte @StefLhermitte]

A #sentinel1 preview of what to expect during the @mass2ant field campaign. FK ice rise, @TweetinIceShelf and @AntarcticBase looking forward 2 CU soon @ULBSciences @GRS_TUDelft

[The Tweetin'IceShelf @TweetinIceShelf]

New research on me in @EGU_TC by @SoBrgr and @mass2ant will pay me a visit. I am soooo excited!! @ULBSciences https://t.co/GI7LiGKcZl

Our paper is finally out in @EGU_TC :-D

After a short, but seemingly warm summer, winter sets in now at the grounding line.

It's getting *really* hot on the ice shelf, or something else is happening ...
