To round off the year and just before Christmas, I had the amazing opportunity of spending the last week in Calgary, Alberta, meeting my colleagues at @ucalgary.bsky.social while participating in the ArcticNet's Annual Science Meeting #ASM25, and presenting my #MEOPAR funded project #SNOWMASS ❄️🛩️🛰️! ➡️

Yes! @icymatters.bsky.social and I are seeking a project coordinator for using highly specialized vehicles on the Greenland ice sheet! It's a four-year position across two projects: 'Seis-Sustain' funded by the @novo-nordisk.bsky.social and 'FirnMelt' funded by @erc.europa.eu.

⏳ Abstract submission countdown is already on! -30 DAYS to go! 👇 Your next steps? ✔️Your Copernicus.org login details ✔️ An EGU membership (https://www.egu.eu/0ZFO4P/) ✔️ Your abstract🥳! Submit here: https://www.egu26.eu/ or email [email protected] for help. 📅 Deadline: 15 January 2026, 13.00CET

🚨 New paper alert! ❄️ How many glaciers will exist by 2100 at +1.5 °C vs +4 °C warming? Our new study led by @landervt.bsky.social , projects the extinction year of ~200,000 glaciers worldwide. 🌍🧊 Can you imagine the Alps with only 20 glaciers remaining? 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Heading South But not for the warmth.. Tomorrow I'm taking the first stage of the journey to Antarctica, ironically enough though, I'm heading south by first heading north, to Oslo, where the Norwegian Polar Institute have organised an almost direct flight from Oslo to Troll station with a short…

Our colleague @tabea-rettelbach.bsky.social is developing dynamic data cubes for #EO data over ice sheets (literally 🧊). The goal is to make complex geospatial datasets easier to find, access, and use for e.g. modelers. #datacubes @icelink-project.bsky.social #PISCO #DTC_icesheets

A message much better stated than I could say it, but which I try to give to ECRs I work with. There are seasons in research and sometimes it is harvest time, but sometimes the seeds are just sitting in the ground resting and waiting for Spring. www.joanwestenberg.com/the-harvest-...

We have provided new Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss estimates to @polarportal.bsky.social. These are derived from the #GRACE and #GRACE-FO missions, and show that since the launch of GRACE in 2002, the ice sheet has lost approximately 5200 gigatonnes of ice!

Heading to #EGU26 and use #radar to study terrestrial and planetary surfaces (both icy and rocky 🤯)? Have we got the session for you! Consider submitting an abstract to #EGU26 CR6.3 by January 15 2026. Read more about the session here www.egu26.eu/session/56853 Hope to see you there!

It may be difficult for the untrained eye to see - but we were of course dressed in the colors of glaciers at last weeks Christmas party at DTU Space🧊❄️🎄

Rasmus and @tabea-rettelbach.bsky.social are in Budapest this week at HungaroMet for the PISCO & @polarres.bsky.social hackathon! 🇭🇺 With 20 other students and instructors, they’re exploring projects that combine climate model outputs with in-situ and EO data to better understand our Polar regions.🌍❄️

Today I attended DTUs new initiative: an annual #DEI day. The topic for presentations and discussions was neurodiversity. Important topic! This book goes on my to-read-list 💡📖

New video: A glacier on Antarctica’s Eastern Peninsula experienced the fastest retreat recorded in modern history—in just two months, nearly 50 percent of the glacier disintegrated. Watch this video to understand what happened. Study by @ciresnews #Antarctica #glaciermelt

How does the #cryosphere shape our climate, and how do we track its changes? Dr. Erik Loebel from #C3S shares a first-hand account on monitoring glaciers, ice sheets, sea ice and permafrost, and why it matters.  Read more: climate.copernicus.eu/c3s-behind-s...

With 40 cm of snow left on the ground last Wednesday, Iceland’s capital, Reykjavík, officially experienced its biggest October snowstorm on record. This historic event shattered a 104-year-old record by 25 cm.

"We need to be very open about [the fact] that it probably is only the beginning,” she said. “We need all Europeans to understand what is at stake and what’s going on. When there are drones or cyber attacks, the idea is to divide us. ” warns Danish PM - on.ft.com/4nXNe3h

Ukrainian colleague working on @oceaniceeu.bsky.social with us told me that he sees the drones and missiles coming in from his flat in Kyiv, almost every night "it's like Star Wars". He also said, "it's amazing how you can get used to anything", when I asked him how he managed to sleep.
