Their aim is to better predict how much and how fast sea level might rise over the next century as a result of #ClimateChange .
Geology professor Nick Holschuh gives us a peek into his trip to Antarctica, where he conducted research with International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration. bit.ly/3vVKL42
We are so proud to see our own Emma Pearce in the spotlight! Maybe you remember her recent post about her fieldwork ⏩ blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/2…
It was all smiles at the #FromIceSheetsToTheCoastMeeting at University of Houston last week, where people from a wide range of disciplines met to discuss causes, effects and adaptation to sea-level rise
I'm very excited to be presenting some new International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration work at #EGU24 next Wednesday! You can find me in Session CR1.3 'East and West Antarctica’s responses to climate change, past present and future.' Do any of y'all have any EGU/Vienna dos and don'ts for an EGU newbie?

Remember when Sif Island was discovered between Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers by scientists on a International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration cruise in 2020? You can read all about the geology of this tiny island in a study led by Imperial Earth Science & Engineering postdoc Jim Marschalek here: doi.org/10.1017/S09541…
The final International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration field season has wrapped up, marking the end of 5 years of research. The team have discovered some incredible things along the way and we're excited to see the results of this season's research.

Seal tagging started with a bang. Young male elephant seal on an ice floe and a Weddell seal as well later.
SMRU Instrumentation tags working well.

Joanne Johnson International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration Baby steps to get to deeper coring, but yes this will be a start!! We are underway.
I am now back on board the RRS Sir David Attenborough and have unpacked my suitcase. Sunday will see the arrival of scientists for the PICCOLO and BIOPOLE science cruises and mobilisation will start as soon as they are on board. British Antarctic Survey 🐧
At Scott Polar Research Institute today to meet Polar Museum curator Dr David M.G. Waterhouse - discussing plans for new exhibition featuring my International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration 🇦🇶work and SciArt collaboration with artist 🎨🧪Rowan Huntley!
