Good Morning from Antarctica. A bright and sunny morning, temp about -0.6C but a stiff breeze so feeling a bit chilly when out of the sun

It is amazing what can be seen by satellite and how that can help scientists in remote areas

Another exciting talk from @icey_mark & @OU_STEM, thank you for keeping us informed<3

[World Meteorological Organization @WMO]

By recent global standards, February 2021 was relatively cool.
This doesn't mean #climatechange has stopped.
Average February CO2 concentrations at Mauna Loa, the world's benchmark station, were 416.75 parts per million, up from 413.4 ppm in February 2020.

[Faculty of STEM, The Open University @OU_STEM]

We are going live in 5 minutes with @icey_mark presenting "What you should know about the climate trajectory of the poles".

If you haven't booked a spot, don't worry- you can still join us on @YouTube now!

Ever wondered what a meteorite fall would look like on a driveway?

The main mass of rock has been recovered here (the 2nd photo shows a small dent where the rock sat) but the black sooty mark is meteoritic dust produced when the space rock impacted the ground

[Nature Reviews Earth & Environment 🌈 @NatRevEarthEnv]

In their Review, Nyuk Hien Wong et al outline the mechanisms, impact and design principles by which urban vegetation -- including green roofs and walls -- can reduce rising city temperatures.

Announcing the release of the completed 2050 Science Framework, Exploring Earth By Scientific Ocean Drilling - many thanks, #IODP community, for participation in this process! Go to https://t.co/3tMFQwn1gR for full SF doc (for scientists), short summary & brochure (for public)

[European Geosciences Union @EuroGeosciences]

Scientists have found evidence that frozen deposits of the greenhouse gas #methane in the Arctic Ocean off the East Siberian coast have started to be released over a large area, reports @jonathanwatts for @guardian https://t.co/StKeqbzmpA

Step 1 complete; I am now the proud holder of a first-class honours BSc. Now onto stage 2; study a MSc.

Thank you @OpenUniversity @OU_EEE @OU_SPS, and all who sail with you<3

With a special thanks to all the amazing tutors and fellow academics who have helped along the way<3

[NASA's OSIRIS-REx @OSIRISREx]

It’s official. Carbon-bearing material (including organic compounds!) is widespread on Bennu’s surface and present at site Nightingale. So, I'll likely achieve a major mission goal: collecting carbonaceous material.

[Mark Rossiter @mrwelshwizard]

@AntarcticGlacie I’m glad your interested in Antarctica then;) and thanks again for the research and resource<3

[Mark Rossiter @mrwelshwizard]

@AntarcticGlacie You say introductory, and #GCSE #ALevel, but both yourself and https://t.co/jkg8nRiGlP are referenced rather a lot in my BSc projects! Thank you for helping my study<3

[Mineral Cup #MinCup @MineralCup]

It's 2020, the year where anything can happen.

The #MinCup2020 bracket is sticking to the rules with all official minerals. Voting starts September 1st.

Who will join legends #Olivine (2017), #Garnet (2018), & #IceMin (2019) to be this year's #champion?

[Mark Rossiter @mrwelshwizard]

@EvieMcLaughlin @SungrazerComets @USNRL @NASASun Too cloudy for me, and the forecast not great;(

[Mark Rossiter @mrwelshwizard]

@EvieMcLaughlin @SungrazerComets @USNRL @NASASun If your lucky enough to have clear skies

[Corey S. Powell @coreyspowell]

How to see Comet NEOWISE for yourself: It's visible to the naked eye this week, very low in the sky before dawn. Next week it will be easier to find in the evening, but you'll need binoculars for a good view. https://t.co/MmGNT5pJTe
