NEW – Limiting warming to 2C is ‘crucial’ to protect pristine Antarctic Peninsula ✍️ @giulianaviglione.bsky.social 💬 comments from @iceybethan.bsky.social @treacherousbuzz.bsky.social @tridatta.bsky.social @scottdoney.bsky.social Read here: buff.ly/wELuQCm

Great video by Dr Gilbz explaining our new review paper about the future of the Antarctic Peninsula 👏🏻 🇦🇶 ❄️ 🧪

📣New article led by @iceybethan.bsky.social on how different future climate scenarios will impact the Antarctic Peninsula. Co authors include CPOM's @alibanwell.bsky.social (@northumbriauni.bsky.social) and Tamsin Edwards (KCL). www.frontiersin.org/journals/env...

Our new paper on the future of the Antarctic Peninsula published today, showing how the various systems across the Peninsula will be impacted by different global warming scenarios. www.frontiersin.org/journals/env...

Analysis by glaciologists @alibanwell.bsky.social from @cpom-uk.bsky.social, based at Northumbria, and Dr Jan De Rydt from our School of Geography and Natural Sciences features in this important paper. 💡More information here: www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/new...

In a new review led by Prof @iceybethan.bsky.social we outline three possible futures for the Antarctic Peninsula. The bottom line? Decisions we make in this decade will shape the region’s climate trajectory for decades and centuries to come. 🇦🇶❄️🧪 @cires.colorado.edu @colorado.edu

📣 New research by Rachel Tilling examines how different satellites track Arctic sea ice 'leads' and 'floes'. This is crucial for understanding how sea ice is changing seasonally and over the longer-term. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

🔬Verifying GPR data with ice cores and refractometers 📹Here is the final instalment of our 5 part series from @alibanwell.bsky.social @cires.colorado.edu in #Antarctica 👏Thank you Ali Banwell, Ryan Cassotto, Michela Savignano and Allie Berry for sharing this incredible work with CPOM!

Excited to see EDGE moving forwards! It’s so critical to keep these datasets going that measure our changing ice/topography! (Led by none other than @helen-amanda.bsky.social, who happens to also be leading in @igsoc.bsky.social Symposium this summer, too!) www.nasa.gov/news-release...
