If we limit warming to the Paris Climate Agreement of 1.5ºC, then we don't have to worry about dangerous levels of sea-level rise, right? Actually, no. Our research suggests that this is too warm. 🧵 1/n

Birch Glacier Landslide - AntarcticGlaciers.org
The collapse of Birch Glacier and the devastating landslide that impacted the Swiss village of Blatten occurred as a result of supraglacial landslides.

'Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise' ❄️🧊 Huge effort to gather mass loss estimate outside ice sheets btw 2000 and 2023 📈 Since 2000, 5% ice volume lost globally (273 gigatonnes/yr) 🌊 Guess who 'won'? 🥇 Alps and Pyrenees lost 39% of their 2000 volume! 😲😱

Antarctic ice shelf kept its cool during the last interglacial period
An ice core suggests that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet lost ice 125,000 years ago, but not to the extent proposed by some scenarios.

Check out our paper that came out in

today. It uses some really cool experiments to explore the rheology of temperate ice. We find that contrary to colder ice this warm ice has a value of n=1!!
