Ruth MottramIncidentally, while this is happening in the US, we have been working quite hard on the @polarportal (well @MartinStendel + out @dmidk colleagues have, I've mainly tried to make helpful comments), the old website is still up giving the latest on #Arctic #seaice #Greenland #icesheet and other datasets, but there's some fancy new stuff on the pipeline.
#StayTuned
Ruth Mottram Who wants to work on coupling #IceSheet models into #GCMs? We have a 4 year position open @dmidk.bsky.social -come and join us in Copenhagen... (Part of the @icelink-project.bsky.social )

MediaFaro Magazine'The ice melted beneath our feet': The huskies that revealed the rapid shrinking of Greenland's ice.
In 2019, climate scientist Steffen Olsen took a startling photo of huskies appearing to walk on water.
The photo quickly went viral as it revealed the reality of Greenland's rapidly melting ice.

Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬#Scientists discover hidden 'plumbing' that's driving #Antarctic #icesheet into the #ocean
Maps created by combining different models of #glaciers and ice sheets reveal the way water is flowing deep beneath #Antarctica's ice. Understanding how these vary is important for accurately predicting how much ice will flow into the ocean, and how quickly it will move. Current models predict that ice melt from Antarctica could result in #sealevelrise up to 12in (30cm) by 2100.

#Greenland’s #glaciers are falling apart faster than expected
New 3D study shows meltwater driving fissures deeper into the glacial ice.
The study found that crevasses are expanding more quickly than previously detected, and somewhere between 50-90% of the water flowing through the Greenland Ice Sheet goes through crevasses, which can warm deeply submerged portions of the #glacier and increase lubrication between the base of the #icesheet and the bedrock it flows over.
