A magnificent glacial valley in the Ge’Nyen massif, eastern Tibet.

The small glaciers of Ge’nyen in eastern Sichuan Province. Moraines indicate a much larger extent in the past.

Glaciers and landforms at Gonggar Mountain. #Sichuan #Glacier #Geomorphology

‘The primeval forest in the air is full of green, monkeys play, and it is a pure natural oxygen bar like jumping into a fantasy tour in fairyland.’ - Tourism information sign Gonggar Mountain - 7500 m high, with biomes ranging from subtropical forest to glaciers

No matter the petrography, our Boyd Crusher at Monash Earth, Atmosphere and Environment 🌏🌪️🍃 can 'eat' anything (like a chocolate block🍫) to better understand the history of East Antarctic glaciers in the Bunger Hills region, as one of the priorities of the Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future programme❄️☄️ Monash Science Monash Ice Sheet Initiative (MISI)

Going, going - only two days left before the closing date for applications for an open-ended ice sheet modelling post British Antarctic Survey 🐧

Out today - our work showing that changes in North Atlantic climate are felt as far away as New Zealand. Led by Dr Shaun Eaves Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington and with contributions from Dr Helen Bostock and Joel Pedro theconversation.com/weakening-or-c… Monash Science Monash Earth, Atmosphere and Environment 🌏🌪️🍃 Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future Marsden Fund

New Paper out today! How do different types of El Niño impact Antarctic🇦🇶 snow accumulation❄️? with Andrew Mackintosh ❄️ Ben Henley Helen McGregor Ariaan Purich @SAEF_arc #AGUpubs GRL doi.org/10.1029/2024GL… 1/5🧵

Andrew Mackintosh ❄️ Ben Henley Helen McGregor Ariaan Purich Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future 4/5 We show Central Pacific El Niño events enhance snow accumulation❄️in West Antarctica🇦🇶, in austral winter & spring.Predicted⬆️in CP El Niño intensity &frequency could cause⬆️West Antarctic snow accumulation which could potentially offset regional ocean-driven melt🧊

Andrew Mackintosh ❄️ Ben Henley Helen McGregor Ariaan Purich Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future 5/5 CP El Niño snow accumulation increases⬆️are bigger and more widespread than those of EP El Niño. Accurate predictions in future El Niño event type, frequency & intensity are crucial to understanding how Antarctica🇦🇶will respond to a warming climate.

New research has untangled the influence of El Niño on snow accumulation in West #Antarctica 🌨️ It shows that the Central Pacific & Eastern Pacific El Niño have distinct effects on snow accumulation patterns. Lead author Jessica Macha explains➡️ arcsaef.com/story/untangli…
