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.

50 years of global glacier change compared to temperature change 🏔️

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 🤓👨‍🔬

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:

Tootverse #introduction :

I'm a geoscientist, physical geographer, geomorphologist, glaciologist, paleoclimatologist, geochemist, modeller, data scientist – depending on your definition and my focus at the time.

Based in Melbourne (Wurundjeri land 🦘), I mostly investigate the behaviour of the #Antarctic ice sheet in the geological past to better understand its response to a changing #climate, and the corresponding impact on #sealevel rise.

Beyond science, I like 🚴⚽ 🛶 🍺 🧀 🎧🏕️
