Ummmm...
Massive #Iceberg Breaks Off #Antarctic #Brunt #IceShelf - 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 #Ukraine based collaborators at the National #Antarctic Science centre published a quite insanely cool study using particle tracking algorithms to trace the circulation of meltwater under the #RonneFilchner #IceShelf using the improbably named package: #Parcels (“Probably A Really Computationally Efficient
Lagrangian Simulator”)

“It also does not change forecasts that the #collapse of the shelf & the #glacier it is part of would lead to about 2’ of rise over several centuries.
“The research ‘is telling us a lot more about the processes that drive retreat on #Thwaites,’ said one of the scientists, Peter E.D. Davis, an oceanographer w/the #BritishAntarcticSurvey. The findings, published Wednesday in the journal #Nature, will be used to refine models….”

Scientists lowered the #IcefinRobot by cable into the #ocean below the #ThwaitesIceShelf in #Antarctica to get a look beneath the a troubling #IceShelf
A robot lowered through the ice reveals how the #Thwaites shelf is melting, which will help forecast its effect on global #SeaLevel.

Overdue #introduction : I am Nico, CNRS researcher at IGE, Grenoble, France. My recent work focuses on the #ocean and #atmosphere drivers of the recent and future #Antarctic #icesheet contribution to #sealevelrise. I spend most of my research time trying to better simulate #iceshelf melting. If you want to know more or work with me, visit my webpage https://nicojourdain.github.io/

Staying with #Snow but moving to #Antarctica - cool work on the importance of snow #accumulation for #IceShelf mass budget + viability from Melchior van Wessem + colleagues at #UtrechtUniversity #IMAU
I've long been convinced the #SMB + #glaciology communities have ignored #precipitation in favour of melt (they're both important - but precip variability can also enhance #ice loss).
This is a #preprint, 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.

Das ist keine linearer Verlauf. Das ist ein steigender Überflutungstrend.

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

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