The Northern Pacific Ocean is currently smashing temperature records. And it is reaching these levels far earlier than the current generation of climate models had expected. A short thread 🧵

Jari Haapala opens the first Finnish Sea Ice Research Day….great initiative bringing 60 sea ice researchers together…going to be a great day

💪 A superpower of the Southern Ocean is taking up heat and carbon from humans and slowing the rate of global warming, by exchanging heat and carbon between the atmosphere and the deep ocean. 🔄 The freeze-and-melt cycle of sea ice drives this exchange by changing water density and acting as a pump.

Ever heard of #AntarcticaInSync? It's a very cool initiative to better understand the Southern Ocean and it's icy continent.. Kicking off the second webinar now... www.antarctica-insync.org

With emissions still rising 📈 and the catastrophic consequences 🔥 becoming ever clearer, geoengineering is getting ever more tempting 🧪 But a review has concluded that the main methods proposed to save polar ice 🧊 are not doable or won't work www.newscientist.com/article/2495...

As the giant #Antarctic iceberg #A23a is currently breaking apart, we created a video about its dance in the water in the last year, including spinning in a Taylor column! Even though A23a is not sea ice, the microwave signature is similar and it shows up in our data! Can you spot it in the video?

Have you lived, worked, or journeyed in the polar regions? Do you have a story, memory, or reflection from your time there? UK Polar Network (UKPN) and APECS Netherlands are creating a collection of voices from the Arctic and Antarctic — and we would love to hear yours! @ukpolarnetwork.bsky.social

Have you heard of #AntarcticaInSync? A UNESCO-endorsed program for coordinated science in Antarctica & the Southern Ocean (www.antarctica-insync.org). We - APECS - aim to represent us early career scientists in the project 🙌🏼. You can find all FAQs on our new website: apecs-germany.de/antarctica-i...

Hi! I’m ARIEL, an L-band microwave radiometer 📡, and this is my little buddy Sebastian (the pulka 🛷). Together, we traveled across 3 Arctic ice stations ❄️ to uncover the invisible (aka microwave) secrets of ever-changing summer sea ice and its thickness on the @awi.de CONTRASTS #expedition 🧊.

🌏 "To keep Earth habitable, humanity must recognize the value of #Antarctica and seek to save it from irreversible damage." Researchers from @utas.edu.au, @ucl.ac.uk ‪and CSIRO set out some strategies towards long-term planetary stability in @nature.com. ▶️ www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Drake Passage, a body of water between the southernmost tip of South America and Antarctica. The Chilean government warned of possible tsunami waves at some of its bases in Antarctica.
