Massive Breaks Off - View From Space

July 10, 2023

A 1550 square km (963 sq mi.) iceberg, designated A81, recently broke off Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf. A time-lapse of the 'calving process' was captured by satellites, according to ESA.

Just discovered that based collaborators at the National Science centre published a quite insanely cool study using particle tracking algorithms to trace the circulation of meltwater under the using the improbably named package: (“Probably A Really Computationally Efficient
Lagrangian Simulator”)

Staying with but moving to - cool work on the importance of snow for mass budget + viability from Melchior van Wessem + colleagues at
I've long been convinced the + communities have ignored in favour of melt (they're both important - but precip variability can also enhance loss).
This is a , but super interesting

My friend David W. Brown journeys to the heart of Antarctica to study Thwaites, one of the fastest-retreating glaciers on the continent. If the glacier collapses, it could eventually reshape the world’s coastlines.

: 1 Meter, 2 Meter oder 5 Meter? Die Prognose hängt vom Zeitraum und vom Verhalten der Menschen (mit politischer und wirtschaftlicher Macht, ihren und ihren 🤑 ) ab. Für macht das nicht viel. Nur so 3,2 Mio. betroffene Menschen und zwei weniger. Pah! Peanuts. 🤮

is always good for surprises. New Zealand researchers have discovered an entire ecosystem in a meltwater river 500 meters below the Ross Ice Shelf.
