Day 2 of the joint WCRP/IPCC workshop on high impact events and tipping points, Sorbonne University, Paris. Yesterday we had a series of introductory plenaries, today the work starts 😉

Amazing COLDEX.org results - 6Million year old ice, with bubbles of old atmosphere. Thank you ice, for the stories you share about our planet and its climate. Led by Sarah Shakleton #glaciology #womeninstem #cryosphere #Antarctica www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... news.oregonstate.edu/news/six-mil...

In the current global and national political climate it feels like a rare privilege to host engaged and interested MPs who want to hear about #science. Today we had Scott Willis and Lan Pham from #NZ Greens with us for a stimulating and valuable conversation about #Antarctica & #climate change.

🌊🌊JOB ALERT!! Are you an ice sheet modeler looking for a postdoc that does not rely on federal funding? Come join our research team at University of Wisconsin-Madison to study the physical and human dynamics of sea-level rise. www.linkedin.com/posts/andrea...

At Parliament later today to present to the ministers some of our work addressing sea level rise and its impacts in New Zealand. Looking forward to seeing what level of interest there is... #climatechange #sealevelrise #NZ

So sick of this NZ govt. Last year I started writing a proposal for a $5M Endeavour grant. Then the govt cancelled them. This year I started putting together a $3M Marsden fund council award proposal and, guess what? Yes, govt cuts now mean these have just been canned too. FFS.

One of the most sensible suggestions I've heard in a long time. Publish less, but better. #academicsky www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-worl...

Abstract deadline for Climate and Cryosphere 2026, in Wellington NZ, now extended till August 31st. Spread the word... clic2026.com #climate #academicsky #nz

🚨 New paper alert 🚨 We developed the new PanAntarctic model and assessed the sensitivity of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) formation and export to horizontal model resolutions of 1/10°, 1/20° and 1/40°. Open access paper in JAMES: doi.org/10.1029/2024...

This weekend a lot of the world is experiencing very high maximum temperatures. But the anomaly from long term climatology is more alarming. What the hell is happening across #Antarctica at the moment? Data from climatereanalyzer.org

For anyone not on Cryolist, today we announced a new regional-scale #ice sheet model intercomparison project focused on the Wilkes Subglacial Basin of East #Antarctica. Feel free to share and of course get in touch if you're interested in participating!

At #EGU2025 this week. Stunning weather, beautiful city, great conference. Single word summary: busy...

Who wants to work on the Arctic in Copenhagen? Super postdoc job going with our friends at Aarhus University* together with DMI on climate modelling and Arctic influences on the mid-latitudes: *at a campus not actually in Aarhus but just outside Copenhagen international.au.dk/about/profil...

Alison Banwell, a glaciologist at the University of Colorado Boulder, led research into how ring fractures (aka “ice doughnuts”) contribute to the rapid collapsing of ice shelves in Antarctica. @alibanwell.bsky.social #WomensHistoryMonth

This might be useful for anyone traveling to the US: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I made a personal choice in 2016 not to visit the US for four years, and I've made the same choice again this year. When I have to fly from NZ to Europe for a conference next month I will go via #Canada. Sad that it has come to this. But Canada is awesome, so... 🤷‍♂️ 🇨🇦

For the first time ever, recorded atmospheric CO₂ has exceeded 430ppm! The last time CO₂ consistently reached today’s human-driven levels was ∼14 Million years ago, with shorter periods of similar levels around 3-5 Million years ago. 1/3

@noaa.gov provides lifesaving science, service and stewardship to the nation. #SaveNOAA is a group of terminated NOAA employees fighting for reinstatement to continue to deliver Americans these critical services. #SaveNOAA #NOAAStrong #NOAA #Science #Fed #FedEmployees #Federal #Layoffs

Americans don’t just depend on NOAA for their daily forecasts. NOAA’s dedicated public servants are behind your access to healthy seafood, safe marine navigation, and disaster response resources. Ask your members of Congress to step up to #SaveNOAA: community.citizensclimate.org/tools/protec...

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Yes to this 💯, doing it...

With all the senseless layoffs happening in the #US #science sector I hope we can try and help a little bit at least. If you're an ECR expert in sea-ice modeling our vacancy is open till 11th March. You will be welcome in NZ! 🧪 #academicsky @climate.noaa.gov

Currently having an interesting chat with Peter Erdi - the author of another book called "Feedback" - turns out we wrote about some of the same things, but from different angles. Very cool. You can find his book here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007... #complexity #booksky

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

Thanks to the more than *1100* members of the scientific community who have signed the letter to insist that the Royal Society remains true to values that we all hold dear but that Musk FRS has ridden roughshod over. Please keep signing & sharing. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

New online! Antarctic coastal polynyas in the global climate system

📣 New Review! Antarctic coastal polynyas in the global climate system by @nick-golledge.bsky.social et al. www.nature.com/articles/s43... (free-to-read: rdcu.be/d7Z54)

Another new paper this week, on #Antarctic coastal polynyas and their importance for Earth's #climate. With declining sea ice, these important features will lose their ability to create dense shelf water - essential for global ocean circulation. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Out today in @nature.com we present ice core evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf survived the last interglacial, despite a global #climate 1-2C warmer than pre-industrial. Previous work showed that the West #Antarctic Ice Sheet collapsed, so what's happening? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our planet's history recorded in ice just got about 50% longer! Beyond EPICA: Oldest Ice have reached the Antarctic bedrock and what is probably the planet's oldest ice - the trapped ancient air bubbles could help us better understand climate change. My story here www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
