An amazing article on another polar drilling expedition a bit similar to #SWAIS2C https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/interactive/2023/greenland-ice-sheet-drilling-bedrock-sea-rise/ #ClimateScience #HowMuchHowFast #Antarctica

The new report on #Antarctic #ExtremeEvents is clearly articulated in this Channel 4 report - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhXiBsBfiu4

Broken temperature records during an #elnino event are a symptom of underlying global warming. It’s this long-term warming which will ultimately trigger #climate tipping points, such as the melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet #SWAIS2C #HowMuchHowFast

Almost the entire #WestAntarcticIceSheet sits on rock in deep depressions below #sealevel. Its vulnerable to an irreversible process where ongoing encroachment of warm ocean waters means #icemelt becomes self-sustaining, accelerating until it's gone.

We're grateful for all the work they do on the frozen continent.

I'm thrilled to announce the new #SWAIS2C website!
Learn all about our project in #Antarctica and what it will do for our understanding of #climate and #HowMuchHowFast

Tuesday night is Antarctica night & I’m working on #SWAIS2C, a joint project between the USA, NZ, and our various partner nations.
McMurdo Station is the USA’s primary base & Scott Base is NZ’s. I 💙 that they’re side by side!
