If you're at #LPS25 come along to hear what the Satellite Ice Dynamics group has been up too 🧊🛰️

"Thanks largely to Copernicus Sentinel-1, scientists have discovered that a glacier in Antarctica is rapidly siphoning ice from neighbouring flows – at a pace never before seen." @esaearth.esa.int @esa.int www.esa.int/Applications...

🆕 Research 🆕 ⛰️🛰️🌐 Take a look at this fascinating research led by @heatherselley.bsky.social (@universityofleeds.bsky.social), on 'Ice Piracy' in #Antarctica, and how it is taking place much more rapidly than previously thought! 👇

"Because Kohler East’s ice stream is flowing and thinning faster as it travels, it absorbs, or 'steals' ice from Kohler West. This is effectively ‘ice piracy’, where ice flow is redirected from one glacier to another," said @heatherselley.bsky.social. environment.leeds.ac.uk/news/article...
