Job alert! @northumbriauni.bsky.social is hiring a researcher to investigate tipping points in Antarctica's ice sheets – funded by ESA's Climate Change Initiative 🧊🌍 📍 Newcastle, UK | 14-month position 📅 Apply by 13 March 2026 🔗 work4.northumbria.ac.uk#en/sites/CX_...

It was exactly 4 years ago that we completed the work on the @ipcc.bsky.social AR6 WG 2 report. After an extended negotiations process for the Summary for Policy Makers, disrupted by the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the authors could finally exhale: new science for decision making was available.

Oooh look, a juicy new paper to settle down with and read with my morning tea. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The daffodils and crocuses are out. The greens won the by-election. Hope over hate.

The idea that we can “overshoot now, fix later” is simplistic. Overshoot relies on massive CDR, but temporary warming can trigger tipping points and long-lived changes: ice sheet loss, permafrost thaw, ecosystem shifts. Cooling later doesn’t guarantee reversal. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Applications open for a 3-year Post Doc position in Leeds (UK) on the #UKRI funded Still Waters project. We are looking for #hydrology #geomorphology modelling skills to embed surface hydrology into #malaria models with fieldwork in Zambia. Pls contact me for more details: tinyurl.com/3356rt44

IPY-5 is approaching. And I am pondering, what is the purpose of IPY-5? Science diplomacy, and international cooperation, is of course vital, as we see renewed attacks on the autonomy of Greenland. The Antarctic Treaty is likely to come under increased stress as the climate changes, changing the ...

The choices we make today will set the future for the Antarctic Peninsula. We cannot afford to delay. We need to urgently implement the Net Zero pledges and pledges that will protect this unique and special environment. www.antarcticglaciers.org/glaciers-and...

When we first came across Suyuparina Glacier in the field a couple of years ago its potholed surface and irregular margin caught our eye. Some of it's neighbours looked similarly chewed, some didn't. We've had a closer look at what's going on in this new paper: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
