One of the most striking trends – over a century of global-average sea level change 🌊

This represents global ice volume change and ocean thermal expansion, plus some water storage changes on land.

Wow. So stimulating, inspirational and emotional to hear the achievements of many world-leading scientists.

A privilege to be invited to this Australian Academy of Science event, and a great excuse to bring out the cufflinks πŸ€“πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”¬

Making use of the past to better understand the future

We studied how the Antarctic ice sheet advanced and retreated over 10,000 years. It holds warnings for the future:

Interestingly, we also found a major period of ice loss in Antarctica was followed by a period of gain, starting some 5,000 years ago.
