The National Climate Risk Assessment reveals the devastating consequences facing Australia from climate change. Approving new fossil fuel exports is destroying our future. Read more ⤵️ australiainstitute.org.au/post/devasta...

The final approval of the 45-year expansion of Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export terminal is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations. It will undermine the nation's energy security, drive up energy prices & is the greatest giveaway of Australian natural resources ever. Media release

Australia's only glaciers are shrinking fast. Important work led by @levantielidze.bsky.social @andrewmackintosh.bsky.social @arcsaef.bsky.social paper here: tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/... news here: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

📣 Job opportunity 📣 Come work with us at Monash as a 3yr Research Fellow on ice sheet-atmosphere coupling! You'll sit within @arcsaef.bsky.social and be part of the @access-nri.bsky.social ice sheets team, pushing frontiers in Earth System Modelling ❄️🇦🇶 👉 careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/jo...

Wherever I think about all we could have done to prevent where we are in the climate crisis I think about this steamroller scene..

⛰️ 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! ❄️🇦🇶

New co-chairs appointed to the IAPSO / IACS Joint Commission on Ice-Ocean Interactions (JCIOI) sites.google.com/view/jcioi/h.... Yoshihiro Nakayama (Dartmouth College) is new IAPSO co-chair and Lu An (Tongji University) is new IACS co-chair. They replace Isabel Nias & @fsmccormack.bsky.social.

Kia ora tātou! Until the 15th of May, any donation you make to Doctors Without Borders will be tripled.

#egu25 If you're interested in near-future sea level and/or the Antarctic Ice Sheet stop by my poster with @fsmccormack.bsky.social and Yucheng Lin this afternoon.

New book!! 📕 Antarctica is intimately connected to the rest of our planet, affecting climate, ecosystems, cultures and society. Our new book draws together international experts to explore this influence, and to understand what humans are doing to Antarctica (1/n) www.routledge.com/Antarctica-a...

Australia is looking for someone to lead the Antarctic Division's Antarctic Climate program. Australian residents only, sorry. Closes May 12 dcceewjobs.nga.net.au/cp/index.cfm...

In this moment when science is under attack, Australia offers a model of how we can make progress even in the face of massive opposition. theconversation.com/fossil-fuel-...

"This is happening at a much faster rate than ever documented in the past… we are much more likely to underestimate the impact of those changes on human society than to overestimate them." The article opens with this quote from me; and I mean every word of it. Read more:

So glad to see this is happening and all the very best! May you have gentle seas and good sciencing ❄️🇦🇶🌊

28 people have added their names already. If you'd like to join us in solidarity and to emphasise the importance of EDI in polar science, then let me know. www.antarcticglaciers.org/2025/02/pola...

Awesome work team! Looking forward to looking into the data ❄️

@antarcticmoss.bsky.social might like this one!

Looks like the next week will be very warm across nearly the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet with widespread 5-15 C temperature anomalies. Multiple atmospheric rivers in West and East Antarctica will contribute to the heat. Definitely concerning as well are within the melt season

Wowowowww 😍

🆕Deep Learning to predict tipping in complex systems like ice sheets or ocean circulation under rapid #climatechange. The method issues early warnings, even amid noise, advancing the detection of critical transitions. New paper with PIKs Niklas Boers. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Group dinner to celebrate visiting scientist - the incredible Dr Tyler Pelle - made complete by a show of flying foxes 🦇 one of my very favourite things about #Melbourne

Come do a PhD with Channing Prend and myself! The project will use seal data and models to understand Antarctic Slope Current dynamics. Based in Edinburgh, UK, but with opportunities for time in Australia also. e4-dtp.ed.ac.uk/e5-dtp/super... 🌊

What a great group ❤️ such a pleasure to work with you all!

A sobering watch

I'm super excited to share @carbonbrief.org's new and improved attribution map! Use the map to explore 600+ extreme weather attribution studies from all around the world: buff.ly/3URzsmI And check out my in-depth Q&A on attribution for all you need to know about this evolving field: buff.ly/4hRt4Gc

And that's a wrap! Had a stellar week at the first Australian Antarctic Research Conference of my career. It's a real privilege and honour to be part of a great community doing such great work 🇦🇶💙❄️ #SAEF #AARC

@lenanicola.bsky.social - one for you

Australia pushing to ban social media to children <16 but happy to lock up kids as young as 10 in adult prisons is 🤷💔

In 2020, only 3.6% of the world’s population lived outside their country of birth. This has already led to a lot of anti-migrant rhetoric and policies. Imagine if 33% of humanity have to migrate.

Go work with @navidcy.bsky.social doing cool science 🌊!

No thanks, #woodsideenergy. Here's a challenge for you: - no more gas - invest in renewables - meet our obligations under the Paris agreement AND go even further

oioioiiiiiii.. ☹️

Calling all #glacios who teach undergrads: anyone have any ideas for laboratories / practicals that demonstrate the fundamentals of #Antarctic mass balance? I have computer-based ideas but want the students to have some more hands on experiences ❄️🥼🇦🇶

@drphilmccormack.bsky.social should be on this list too! PS do you have to still be living in the motherland to be added?

Resharing my Tasmania starter pack in case anyone is keen to follow a bunch of lutruwita/Tassie folk all at once. As always, if you think you should be on it and aren’t, or you’re on it and don’t want to be, just let me know. go.bsky.app/Dhstko4

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

Hola - with all the new folx on here, I realized we didn't have a starter pack of glaciologists and people who like glaciers. PLEASE let me know if I've missed someone or an organization! go.bsky.app/HG2KgXZ 🧪⚒️❄️🗻

For all Australian academic + unisuper members: Unisuper is the largest shareholder in APA, who is planning to develop a pipeline for fracking in Beetaloo Basin, NT. Let's put our mouths where our money is (?!) and call on Unisuper to stand against APA's plans: unisuperdivest.org/open-letter-...

I contributed to the latest Science Vs episode (by Wendy Zuckerman) out today on tipping points in the climate and Earth System along with some incredible scientists, incl @edoddridge.bsky.social, @andrewdessler.bsky.social and many other legends👇 gimletmedia.com/shows/scienc...

I published a piece with Dr Tom Mortlock from #Aon on sea level rise risks in Australia: aoninsights.com.au/rapid-sea-le... The takeaway: ~500,000 properties, including many homes, are at risk from coastal flooding not covered by insurance

0.17% of GDP I know the Government's "goal" of 3% GDP in R&D is supposed to be generated largely by business (*cough*fantasy*cough), but at some point it's gonna have to invest directly. No R&D = no discoveries, innovation or understanding = a feeble, fragile economy & society.

Hello Australian Antarctic research community! 🗓 Save the dates for a national conference in November at the University of Tasmania in Hobart. More details soon.
