Irene C Peden is an electrical engineer & was the first woman scientist to live and work in the interior of the Antarctic, developing techniques for studying deep glacial ice using radio waves. Cliffs in Antarctica have been named after her. Find out more: adalovelaceday.subst...

*laugh* So, it turns out there is an Antarctic brittle star, Ophiosteira bullivanti that bears more than a casual resemblance to STARYU! #pokemon #echinoday ha ha! 😂

🌍 Hidden lakes under Antarctic ice Using a decade of CryoSat-2 data, scientists found 85 new active subglacial lakes, boosting the total by 58% and revealing vast hidden water networks. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm #Antarctica 🧪

Abrupt and alarming changes in the icy Antarctic region call for urgent measures. We have the means to cut emissions and limit further warming. Geoengineering projects only raise false hopes and divert resources.

Hello BlueSky 🦋 I'm the Director of Graduate Studies in Cornell Chemistry. We're hiring a new Graduate Field Coordinator to help support our graduate program. Please apply or repost if you know someone great! tinyurl.com/3znxx4bh

Last month was the 5th lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of May This was 930,000 km² below the 1981-2010 May average. Data from the @nsidc.bsky.social at nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

📊 Antarctica's future weather forecast is in - and it's looking extreme! New research reveals atmospheric rivers - massive aerial pathways of water vapour that travel thousands of kilometres - could DOUBLE over Antarctica by 2100! 📸Michelle Maclennan

This wiggling blob may not look very exciting, but I’m telling you, it was the highlight of last week for me! This is a Müller’s larva, and is a life stage of some Turbellarians (flatworms) and I have never seen one before! 1/2 🦑 #plankton

The days in Antarctica are shrinking rapidly, and in just a few days the sun won't rise above the horizon at all.... 🧪❄️🥼🌊

I just discovered myself in this @bas.ac.uk podcast! All about women working in #Antarctica, in my case remote geological fieldwork and leaving family behind. #geology Some great stories here 👇 🧪❄️🥼 🇦🇶 www.bas.ac.uk/media/icewor...

This is a map I first started about 4 years ago, and it’s been put down and picked back up about 5 times since then (we’ve all had projects like this!) but I’m so glad to see it finally released! The front cover shows some of the very varied terrain that has been mapped 😍

This is by far the best modelling attempt of the Alpine Ice Field during the LGM (35-18 ka)! 🧊⌚ Thinner ice than previous attempts and better fit to the trimlines ❄️ Must read! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
