@KHayhoe Thank you - Flattered to be on your list. But no I'm not going to another corporation founded by a Twitter founder. I'm on the Fediverse/Mastodon. Open systems FTW.
@mjsiegert @newscientist I agree - lots of problematic issues. But your argument here is an edge case. What about strengthening the 50 km wide Nares Straight ice bridge? If this survived longer each spring/summer, it would have upstream impacts. A few pumps could (maybe) have a large impact.
@MarieCavitte @newscientist I've spoken to 100s of polar scientists and "this is good" and "don't even discuss" are *both minority* views. The majority thinks it is scary and maybe dangerous but worth researching. And they may be worth doing in X years after we have addressed the emission problem.

What have you done over the last 5 yrs (Sept, 2018-July, 2023)? Sadly my fav glacier (Klinaklini) has lost 5 Gt of water. 😪Cloudy shots omitted. B. Floyd @VIUniversity@UNBC@HakaiInstitute met station.
Twitter API changes means auto-posts aren't working.
A cold spring (despite record ocean warmth) means less runoff or more snowfall than usual.
This is good for Greenland mass balance. It is now at the (recent historical) average mass change for this date.
Sea level rise (#SLR: 📈=🌊+🧊💧) from 🇬🇱Greenland
Since 1990 (IPCC FAR): ~14.75 mm (-5338 Gt)
2023 → today: 36 Gt
Next 7 days (2023-06-13 →️2023-06-19)📉: mass gain +4.5 ±2.3 Gt

The triple point occurs where the solid, liquid, and gas transition curves meet. It's the only condition in which all three phases can coexist, and is unique for every material. Water reaches it at 0.01° C and at a pressure of 0.006 atm

Hi, I'm Milan. I build climate models. Takes ~1h but yes, you need a PhD for that. All models are wrong but some are useful? I think my models are pretty useful already: They include ocean, land, sea ice, land ice, deserts, solar radiation, and even axial tilt and precession.
Stefan saw a patch of brown snow on the sea ice in the Arctic. With some colleagues they struggled for days trying to understand what they were looking at. In the end the solution was simpler than expected.🐻❄️
