@zhonggg.bsky.social is currently on a South Korean icebreaker in Antarctica because the US is no longer a serious country. The Trump regime got rid of our Antarctic icebreaker, Nathaniel B. Palmer, so for the first time in six decades we are without a dedicated Antarctic research vessel.

​​Antarctica’s melting ice is raising global sea levels, worsening damage from floods and storm surges. Our reporter explains why the Thwaites Glacier is crucial for scientists who are trying to pin down how much extra water to expect, and how soon. Learn more: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/c...

I’m increasingly convinced that self care is climate action. After all, if we want a sustainable world, don’t we have to be sustainable too? For me, that means time with friends & fam, nature, knitting, chocolate, tea, and a stack of good books. What’s your favourite way to recharge?

I wrote to my representatives @hirono.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social, and Ed Case to tell them to stop the dismantlement of NCAR. You can do the same with your representatives at this link.

Interested in one approach to ice-shelf vulnerability to melt-driven hydrofracture? Join me tomorrow in Session C31A as I explore whether Antarctic ice shelves may become vulnerable to this process in the 21st century. Would love to chat and hear your thoughts on the work! #AGU25 #cryosphere

Made ice-themed mugs for my research group! Love how the glaze crackles like ice-shelf fractures. Question is: how would it calve? Working theory — accidentally (or intentionally) thrown thanks to buggy code. 🧊

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Geoengineering is not going to save the poles from climate change — @newscientist.com

This is such important data to document… But not good news at all. I recognize *things* are happening, but we seriously have to do better. Support your trusted climate communicators!

In our final PhD year, we (@gsundaram98.bsky.social @ericawhiting.bsky.social) built a dissertation quest system: track goals, earn rewards (donuts, craft nights, etc.), face punishments (yes, a princess hat). It’s silly, it’s motivating, and it might actually get us to the finish line.

Awful. More horrible science news "The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing & delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025."

So far this week: ❌ SSMIS data halted (think sea ice, snow, hurricane, ice sheet monitoring, etc) ❌ climate[dot]gov removed and redirected to... ❌ NOAA Climate homepage, which was modified (e.g., removed Climate Stripes and Climate Ready Nation references) ❌ false bills to ex-probationary employees

Horrified by the sickening act of political violence in Minnesota. I pray for the family of Melissa Hortman and her husband, who were murdered in cold blood, and for the recovery of John Hoffman and his wife. The killer must be held accountable. This has no place in America.

Thankfully, the village was evacuated already, but one person is missing and everyone else’s homes are destroyed. Make no mistake: this is a climate disaster.

🌎 Today marks 100 days of the U.S. Administration—& 100 days of AGU standing strong for science. From advocacy to action, our community is meeting the moment.

If you and your colleagues are wishing there was something you could DO to call on your university leadership to stand up against Trump's attacks on higher ed...look no further! 📣 REGISTER YOUR CAMPUS ACTION HERE: actionnetwork.org/event_campai... FILL THE MAP! #standupwithus #standupforscience

By attacking science: We are less safe because science informs national security and medical care. We are less prosperous because science drives innovation and economic benefit. We are less free because science and democracy depend on the liberty to ask questions, and seek and share knowledge.

Science needs stability, not stopgaps. A continuing resolution further weakens U.S. research, innovation, and public safety. AGU is taking action to defend science funding and protect federal scientists. Read more: fromtheprow.agu.org/a-continuing... #FundScience #SciencePolicy #AGU

AGU is relieved at the court’s ruling to extend the temporary restraining order in our case today, sending thousands more probationary federal employees back to work. #StandWithScience

As an early career scientist and PhD student one thing I plan on making a staple in my career is climate communication and education. With the recent attacks on science, now seems as good a time to start. So if you have a few minutes please check out my first post: www.linkedin.com/pulse/10-ind...

The US Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (USAPECS) stands in solidarity with the scientific community against recent funding cuts for climate change research and the unjust dismissal of federal agents. A statement of solidarity from the USAPECS board is enclosed with this post.

Congratulations to PhD student Emily Glen @lancasteruni.bsky.social for publishing her first First Author paper in The Cryosphere! Read to learn about high vs. low melt seasons in #Greenland 🧪 tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/... @lancasteruninews.bsky.social @cires.colorado.edu @nsidc.bsky.social

Short snippet of my speech today at the #StandUpForScience rally in DC, with the Lincoln Memorial behind me (courtesy of @ianlivingston.bsky.social)

We are Here! We are Standing Up for Science!! Thank you to everyone who has come out to support science. #StandingUpForScience #AGU #scienceisthefuture

We applaud our amazing science community (and supporters) for taking it to the streets to stand up for science! ✊

TODAY IS THE DAY! 🧪☀️⬇️ Join us at the Lincoln Memorial or your local site to Stand Up for Science!

The USDA is currently being sued for taking down websites related to climate change, which contained data farmers need and want. This inspired my sign for Friday's @standupforscience.bsky.social March

Human impact of USAID reductions, per year

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs. It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

We just want to remind you: You’re not alone. We’re all in this together, and we’ll get through it together. We’ve seen so many people sharing their feelings of anxiety and stress—please take a moment for yourself. Your well-being matters. Sending you hugs—you are amazing, and we love you all! 💚

Read this interview with the students behind @standupforscience.bsky.social. 1) These kids are the best and science is lucky to have them And 2) Why are the leaders of our universities remaining silent while our PhD students fight on behalf of us all??? www.scientificamerican.com/article/stan...

Another wave of layoffs hit the federal government, this time including climate scientists and modelers at NOAA. An estimated 800 employees were fired, likely ensuring that the US government won’t be able to model the weather or predict extreme events going forward . www.npr.org/2025/02/27/n...

I'll be at the Stand Up for Science 2025 event in DC to support the science community. Science is invaluable, diversity in science is essential, and backing scientists is an investment in a better future. I hope to see you there!

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes *worldwide* because of USGS.

Scientists & experts: Add your name to this open letter calling on Congress and the Trump administration to ensure that NOAA and its sub-agencies remain fully funded and staffed, and that the independent, trusted science the agency produces is protected. act.ucsusa.org/4kajJuk

Where are the Democrats but also Where are the churches Where are the celebrities Where are the NGOs Where are the Universities Where are professional groups like AMA Where are the athletes Where are the unions What people/groups do and don’t do for next month determines our collective future

As news of government layoffs continues, my heart sinks for scientists in the polar community and beyond. As a grad student with a looming dissertation, the fear and uncertainty are overwhelming. What’s next for the polar community I hoped to join and climate science? Looking for positivity
