Have you heard of #AntarcticaInSync? A UNESCO-endorsed program for coordinated science in Antarctica & the Southern Ocean (www.antarctica-insync.org). We - APECS - aim to represent us early career scientists in the project 🙌🏼. You can find all FAQs on our new website: apecs-germany.de/antarctica-i...

Did your thesis focus on polar and cryosphere science? Show us what you researched – in a fun and creative video! 🎬 "Explain Your Thesis!" – APECS Germany & DGP’s new video competition 💸 Win up to €300 📅 Submit by October 1, 2025 Check out apecs-germany.de/explain-your... for more information!

🧊 New study in The Cryosphere! We identify oceanic gateways that could channel warm water to Antarctic grounding lines, based on high-res bathymetry. These deep pathways could drive major ice-shelf melt when cavities switch from ‘cold’ to ‘warm’ melt conditions. 📄 doi.org/10.5194/tc-1...

Exciting year ahead for APECS Germany! We’re happy to introduce our new Chair team for 2025/26: Lukas Monrad-Krohn will serve as Chair, supported by Co-Chairs Lena Nicola and Joana Steffens. We’re looking forward to a great year with the polar early-career community!❄️☺️

You can now read our assessment, ideas and suggestions in our paper published in Journal of Glaciology, concerning questions such as: What kind of community do we hope to build over the next fifty years? What are current challenges and barriers? 🔍 Link: doi.org/10.1017/jog....

📣 New paper: Where do we want the glaciological community to be in 2073? Some context: The Karthaus summer school is an occasion where parts of our research community comes together — In 2023, I was lucky to participate myself and it was the year in which a new workshop was included in the program.

What is SMB? @PolarRES has these fantastic storyboards explaining key parts of the project. I suppose more wil be added later too. https://polarres.github.io/Storyboards/smb

🚨 New paper alert! 🧪 🔥 How would heat extremes in Europe evolve under long-term net-zero emissions? Find out in our ERL article, co-written with @andrewkingclimate.bsky.social and Tilo Tiehn iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... Here’s a quick summary (1/n) 🧵

🚨📢 New Publication Alert Our new study shows that the #WestAntarctic #IceSheet repeatedly crossed #TippingPoint thresholds in the past, with important implications for its future stability. Press release: www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late... Study: www.nature.com/articles/s43... 🌊🧊⚒️🧪🥼

⛰️ In a new study in @science.org, we project that 39% of the global glacier mass is committed to be lost irrespective of future warming. However, a lot can still be saved - see title: “Glacier preservation doubled by limiting warming to 1.5°C versus 2.7°C” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... [1/n]

Esp northern hemisphere folks please share with your colleagues. It's really great down south and we don't get so many visitors! ❄️🇦🇶

Congratulations, such great news 👏🏼🎉

Wie können wir die #Zukunft der #Antarktis besser verstehen? Zum 30. Jubiläum der @leibniz-gemeinschaft.de befragen wir 30 junge Forschende: @lenanicola.bsky.social promoviert am @pik-potsdam.bsky.social im Fach Klimaphysik. www.leibniz-magazin.de/alle-artikel... #30umdie30 #leibnizmagazin

All set for the #Train2EGU! Next week I will attend #EGU25 and present some work in progress of my PhD project 🙌🏼 Let’s talk about how we could study the impacts of heatwaves on Antarctic ice dynamics at my poster 🔥🧊 👉 Tues, 29.4, 14:00, Hall X4, X4.20 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/EGU25-...

🎙️🇩🇪🌊👩‍🔬 Kennt ihr schon den #Wellenbrecher Podcast von @ecop-dach.bsky.social? Ich habe gerade mit einer anderen von APECS Germany eine Folge mit Eva + Anabel aufgenommen! Stay tuned für unsere Unterhaltung über deutsche Polarforschung, die UN Ozeandekade und mehr! ➡️ open.spotify.com/show/3riN8pq...

As part of APECS Germany and the DGP board, I here and there help to highlight on-going activities (among others: financially supporting polar ECRs et al with small grants to help realise outreach projects, research stays, conference participations and more!) More info: polarforschung.de

I've created a starterpack for my colleagues here at PIK. If you want to follow us and hear about the work we do, look no further! If I've missed anyone, let me know and I'll add them!

There are so many cool starter packs around here 💙 But I have not seen yet any specifically on the AMOC, so I decided to create one now 🌊 Let me know if you want to be included too! #AMOC #Atlantic #OceanCirculation go.bsky.app/JxFDh6b

Hey ice sheet types! 👋 The memes about the insane number of starter packs on this thing motivated me to create one more. Please let me know who I am missing from the ice sheet world. 👇 go.bsky.app/4SxszWw

Perks of attending the #AARC conference in Hobart: visiting the Australian icebreaker Nuyina after the poster session 🚢🧊🌊

I’m almost there yet with my initial model state with #ISSM but oh my, how time flies! Its now half time of my research stay at Monash Uni! 🐨🇦🇺🧊🇦🇶 Visiting my supervisor and her colleagues incl. @fsmccormack.bsky.social has been already an amazing experience and I am very glad for this opportunity!

Beautiful location, interesting and inspiring talks & networking with other #polarresearchers from Austria and Germany: during the last five days, I attended the 29. International Polar Conference that took place in Rauris, in the Austrian Alps! 🏔️❄️
