This is the most creative study! really neat work… but a little scary for the future west Antarctica and sea level rise.

[Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future @saef_arc]

New research published today in @ScienceMagazine has used 🐙octopus DNA🧬to discover that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet likely collapsed during the Last Interglacial period - when global temperatures were similar to today.

Are you a PhD student in cryospheric sciences? Consider applying for the Karthaus summer school on ice and climate: https://t.co/hodetLytA0
The 2024 course will run in late May. It is an amazing experience! @egg_igs @EGU_CR

@EatTheCrust I’m at Oregon State now! Been here 5 years! Covid kind of put a time warp in life events, I think.

Thwaites Glacier Eastern Ice Shelf from Sentinel-1 over the last eight years. I suspect it won't be long before total collapse. 1080p video can be downloaded here: https://t.co/bc1fh7OKdA

@RadioGlaciology @stanford_ee @ThomasTeisberg @IEEESpectrum This is awesome - I’d love to hear more about the design and performance details! Collaborate on field tests?

@AbigailHudak Ice-contact lava flows! When lava
Erupts and the cools in contact with ice the lava cools quickly against the ice, slower away from ice- pattern of fracturing is related to the direction of temperature gradients, can get curved fracture patterns or straight.

We ordered from you @REI because you are local (PNW) and you care about the environment and educating the public (such as supporting programs like @insp_girls_exp ). What are you going to do to demonstrate your commitment to the environment?

[Dr. Erin Pettit @exploreice]

Dear @REI I am a climate scientist studying the melting of glaciers. We ordered 18 ice screws from you to use in our research. The 18 ice screws came in 18 separate boxes by nearly 18 different trucks. This makes me sad. #climateactionnow #glaciers #sustainability #reducewaste

BOB is part of @OSUCEOAS Glaciology Research Team.

[Dr. Erin Pettit @exploreice]

Our field team deployed BOB to help us watch the evolution of Thwaites Glacier over the next few years. Follow BOB!!

[BOB on Thwaites Glacier @BOBonThwaites]

Scientists deployed an automated field station to monitor the breakup of Thwaites Glacier's last remaining ice shelf. #GlacierThwaites
