We look forward to welcoming the @erc.europa.eu Scientific Council to Durham next week and showcasing amazing research, like Professor @erinmcclimate.bsky.social's study on Antarctic snow petrels and sea ice evolution. Read more: bit.ly/4nde2gE @geogdurham.bsky.social ‪@leverhulme.ac.uk @bas.ac.uk

Climate.gov, a major US government website supporting public education on climate science, will likely shut down after almost all of its staff were fired. What would be worse is if the website were co-opted to publish climate denial content.

What do sea-ice associated seabirds do during a season with little sea ice? Results from GPS tracking on snow petrels is now published, led by @elliehonan.bsky.social funded by @erc.europa.eu @leverhulme.ac.uk details here: www.antsie.webspace.durham.ac.uk/2025/06/06/snow-petrel-tracking/ 🧪🐙
