USF’s new ice sheet modeler extrodinare, Dr. Dan Lowry, is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher and Graduate Students to join his research group. For more details: ice2oresearch.org. Join Dan and our growing Antarctic/ Southern Ocean research group. #Antarctica #glaciology #oceanography

It’s finally happening! So exciting to see the first core!

This is a good primer on the ocean.

The temperature wall cruising east across the US right now makes for some really stunning air temp maps

from fragrant mid summer in #Aotearoa #Zealandia to late summer in #AmundsenSea, #WestAntarctica - to assess the state of #Thwaites

I still can scarcely believe, as a land geologist, that I experienced was able to sail on #TheJR for #IODP379 deep sea drilling in outer #AmundsenSea. (And a lucky thing, too -- because there was a quantity of #IRD ice rafted ROCK debris that glaciers carved out of the continental bedrock!)

A good example of getting one's figures straight ... by weight, to aid the common understanding. Significant figures!

I doubt that the ambient temperatures slow the efforts of @akearthquake.bsky.social . AK State #Seismologist Michael West gave expert opinion on NPR earlier this month: www.npr.org/2025/12/10/n...

#OTD in 2019, astronaut Christina Koch broke the record for the longest continuous time in #space by a woman (breaking Peggy Whitson's record of 289 days, 5h & 1m). Eventually returning on Feb 6, 2020 & setting the new record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman at 328 days. #WomenInSTEM

Tell us, @icy-pete.bsky.social, based on your earlier expedition on #RVAraon ... what is the #transit-time to #AmundsenSea at this time of the summer season? (for transport of dedicated #journalists @milesobrien.com @zhonggg.bsky.social, Science party, and crew)?

🇦🇶 Sendoff to @milesobrien.com @zhonggg.bsky.social from @nytimes.com. I know a few #ITGP and #IODP379 researchers who'll want to follow along 🇦🇶 ! @polarrobs.bsky.social @drtrevorwilliams.bsky.social @wellner.bsky.social @diatomdiatribes.bsky.social @khorikawa.bsky.social @passchier.bsky.social

Southern California will receive more rain on Friday after several days of downpours, adding to the risk of flooding before the weather improves, forecasters said.

It’s a very Crary Christmas for our on-ice team in Antarctica! After several weeks of weather delays preventing them getting out to our deep-field camp at Crary Ice Rise, on Christmas Eve the team received the best possible present – a Basler flight to Crary! Crary Christmas from SWAIS2C!

Thank you for your work to plan the Rosie the Riveter Nat'l Historical Park that memorializes the role of women here at home during WWII & for becoming a park ranger at age 85. We may not have known you otherwise & that would've been a loss for us all. Goodnight & godspeed, Betty Reid Soskin🕯️

Hello! 👋 We're the UK's polar research institute. We do climate and ecosystems science in Earth's frozen places, because changes there affect all of us. As we say at British Antarctic Survey: what happens in Antarctica doesn't stay in Antarctica ⬇️

The #ThwaitesGlacier region has a prior history of dramatic #glacial-deglacial switching in the #Pliocene www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Under current climate policies, 79 per cent of the world’s glaciers will disappear by 2100, endangering the water supply for 2 billion people and raising sea levels dramatically

The NBP has finished her last USAP cruise. Not the outcome we’ve been hoping to see. I’m of course glad that researchers are being supported by substitute vessels. But, it’s not clear how this will work in the long run.

Evidence of rapid glacial-deglacial switching, from a high resolution record from #Pliocene marine sediments, foretells #WestAntarctica 's future theconversation.com/west-antarct...

Increased seismicity and magmatism in #WestAntarctica - two of the consequences of #glacial-deglacial switching in the #Pliocene and in the near future #AmundsenSea theconversation.com/west-antarct...

#Geologists can't help get enthused about "real time" processes: regional events that happen swiftly, as opposed to long, slow, gradual change per #Hutton 's Principle of #Uniformitarianism. Take, for example, 🇦🇶 #WestAntarctica 🇦🇶 in the #Pliocene:

Drilling a 200m sediment core from the bedrock beneath 500m of Antarctic ice is a complex process, so we've broken it down step-by-step in this explainer. From melting snow in our flubbers through to filling our core barrels, what we're attempting 700km from the nearest base is no mean feat!

Happy to see our #IODP379 pub post today!

Have you ever seen a green flash on the setting #sun? A sunset walk on a west-facing beach is a great time to see a green flash. This phenomenon happens when the sun is almost entirely below the horizon, with the upper edge still visible. It's brief but exciting! ☀️🔭 buff.ly/ud7P0bs 📹 EarthSky.org.
