A historical perspective on the early break-up of #seaice in north east #Greenland, which happened shortly after @SteffenMalskaer's now famous dog-sledge photo

En varm maj og juni i nordvestgrønland har fået havisen til at bryde tidligt op på disse kanter🌡️🌊 Læs mere her: https://t.co/K1S4pa064n #grønland #havis

@ruth_mottram IMO (International Meteor Organization) has a website where you can provide data on your observation, and it then calculates the most probable path based on all observations!

[Mai Winstrup @MaiWinstrup]

Approximate path of the #meteor that I saw on Saturday evening, calculated by combining data from 15 observers in Eastern Denmark and Northern Germany. #CitizenScience

[Mai Winstrup @MaiWinstrup]

Er i sommerhus på Falster, og har lige set en meteor. Er der nogen herinde, som ved, hvem man skal fortælle det til? Og/eller nogen som ved hvordan man bedst går på meteor-jagt 😊

Marie Tharp laid the groundwork for plate tectonics without ever having gone to sea to collect data, because women were not allowed to sail. She first joined a sea-going expedition in 1968, 9 years after publishing her maps. (read more: https://t.co/eAEnrfyH6z) #WomenInSTEM

Looking through last year's data from the seaice in #Qaanaaq. Here a time lapse of the #DMI weather station as the sun gains power in spring. These data helps us to better understand #seaice #microwave #radiometer data from #remotesensing. @RasmusTonboe @SteffenMalskaer @dmidk

Arctic sea ice set a new kind of record this year, although the summer minimum extent was "only" the 6th lowest in the 40-year long satellite record

[Prof. Jason Box ⚡️ @climate_ice]

warming Arctic sea surface temperatures bring a new record *late* minimum in Arctic sea ice area. HT @RasmusTonboe @MaiWinstrup @GDybkjaer @DMIdk read more in Danish https://t.co/V4kdWa9pZ1

Strong winds have finally given the #A68 iceberg a push to move away from its Larsen C parent ice shelf in #Antarctica - as seen in this animation generated by @adrian_luckman using data from the #Sentinel1 satellites.

Checking up on the ISAR radiometer at Norrøna Ferry, where it is measuring sea surface temperatures between Denmark and the Faroe Islands @RasmusTonboe

[Mai Winstrup @MaiWinstrup]

Scary graphics showing the large decline of #Arctic #seaice over recent decades.

[Mai Winstrup @MaiWinstrup]

Today, Sonja Wahl from the #SNOWISO team helped install a new #radiometer at @egripcamp in Central Greenland. An addition to our growing #DMI_PolarRemoteSensing radiometer network @dmidk for improved validation of surface temperatures from #remotesensing.

[Mai Winstrup @MaiWinstrup]

And a third radiometer is currently on its way to be installed at @egripcamp in North East Greenland - in a collaboration with Centre for Ice and Climate at University of Copenhagen. Thank you to all our great collaborators! https://t.co/9M54YWSxND

An exciting new project using #MachineLearning on #SAR data from #Sentinel is starting up at @DMIdk https://t.co/tSMTAIWXb4

@ASIP_project is now on Twitter and new website https://t.co/XoHEHZCCHQ is soon to be launched. Untill then, learn more about ASIP from NBC Mach: https://t.co/Uvq6Jhjo9C

A layer of #snow protects the #seaice during summer. Here our first results on the evolution of #Arctic sea ice snow cover during spring 2013, retrieved from #AMSR sattelite data.

A beautiful visible layer of volcanic ash was found in the #eastgrip #icecore today! Could be the Saksurnarvatn tephra at the end of the last glacial. https://t.co/mmjok2SKk6
