💨🧊Ever wondered how the wind affects the coldest, densest water on Earth? Our latest study explores how winds influence Antarctic Bottom Water escapes from the Weddell Sea 🌊🇦🇶

🔮 Looking ahead: Understanding wind's impact on Antarctic Bottom Water helps us predict future changes. With shifting wind patterns predicted, it's important to understand the role these play in our climate system 🌍🌊 (7/7)

🧊 What is the motivation behind OCEAN:ICE?

This #OCEANICEBreaker sets out to answer this! Follow along to find out what the OCEAN:ICE project is driven by and what we seek to address 💙

After spending a weekend at @bluedotfestival talking about how gliders go up and down... I can confirm at least one of @BIOPOLE_NERC s gliders does! 🎉

@BAS_News An attempt to describe my PhD for #limerickday...

The Southern Ocean winds really blow,
Pushing currents around to and fro,
From the ice at the top,
And the waves that don’t stop,
To bottom water deep down below 🌊

First international conference... Great first day to #EGU22! Excited to present some results tomorrow afternoon in the southern ocean session 🌊🇦🇶 https://t.co/otp4Bq8FdA

Had a great few days at the @BAS_News Student Symposium! Tried baking layer cake with fondant ships but not quite as good as @hansen_nicolaj 's penguins and Antarctic cake

@meredith_mmm Not forgetting a brilliant bronze to add to the double gold!
