AGU has a Congressional email and call script up on NCAR:

A new analysis of #CryoSat-2 data revealed that subglacial lake levels in Antarctica are changing not by centimeters but by *meters*. New research from Sally Wilson @universityofleeds.bsky.social, comments from @leighstearns.bsky.social @upenn.edu. eos.org/articles/sat...

If you think mis- and disinformation is no big deal , read this: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We have a new paper out! Work with @leighstearns.bsky.social, @laserglaciers.bsky.social, and Sid Shankar studying the potential of new ICEYE SAR satellite imagery to study the dynamic behaviour of ice mélange around the margins of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Read more here: tinyurl.com/mtc94juu

New paper from our group using autonomous laser scanning data to observe calving at Helheim Glacier. Congrats to @laserglaciers.bsky.social on his awesome first pub!

Yeah it's not time to do more dumb things to the planet www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Grateful to have the opportunity to contribute to this document. Put science back in climate reports!

Just because the Trump Administration wants to pretend climate change isn’t real, it doesn't make it any less urgent or concerning. It’s time to listen to the overwhelming majority of scientists and act accordingly, now.

🚨🚨🚨 FREE DATA ALERT! 🚨🚨🚨 If you're a federally funded researcher in the U.S., you can access GHGSat's high-resolution methane emissions data for free through NASA's Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition Program! 🌎 More info on how to apply here: bit.ly/3I4ldrs

This is theft, plain and simple. They stole this from you. Every deletion, every erasure, every website that goes dark is a crime against the American public

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

New op-ed in @nature.com: The Trump administration's assault on freedoms and the rule of law is an existential threat to US science. We urge scientists to speak out in defense of freedoms, not just funding. With Andrea Liu @upenn.edu and Sidney Nagel of UChicago! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

NSF update. www.nsf.gov/edu

The USDA has halted funding for UMaine programs: www.pressherald.com/2025/03/11/u...

In a remarkable show of unity, today 48 scientific societies representing almost 100,000 members call on Congress to protect the future of science. Our elected officials must act now so we have a hope of avoiding long-term damage to the US science enterprise. www.ucsusa.org/about/news/s...

Great reporting from @wired.com about what DOGE is doing to Antarctica, affecting US science and national security. This is what we will lose. We can't just leave our bases in Antarctica empty. South Pole! McMurdo! Palmer! At some point we might need a GoFundMe.

I have written a short statement responding to mass firings today of #NOAA / National Weather Service (#NWS) staff (which were concentrated among recent hires as well as highly experienced staff who had recently been promoted). Please see below screenshot & below for full text.

If all their previous actions don't destroy scientific research in the U.S., this one, which seeks to modify or terminate grants and contracts, including those to educational institutions, will certainly do so. It's so sad that those who have benefited from the system now seek to destroy it.

Doug was a NSF program officer for a few of my projects before stepping into his role below. His loss is an example of the many negative impacts. I speak often on the value of collaboration and cost sharing to get the most bang for our buck. Losses like Doug’s work affect everyone in the U.S. 🧪

@leighstearns.bsky.social shining bright at #AGU24 telling the fascinating story of changes at Greenland’s Helheim Glacier Greenland since the 1940s. Advance and thickening up to the 1980s followed by retreat and thinning, all in response to warming atmosphere and ocean and adding to sea level rise
