Emperor penguins suffered mass breeding failures in 2023 amid record low sea ice reut.rs/44fXc7G

🐧 Just in time for #WorldPenguinDay, the Antarctic Environments Portal releases insights on emperor penguins. The article explores the life cycle and population dynamics of emperor penguins under present conditions and future climate change scenarios. ➡️environments.aq/publications/e…

Fiona Clubb and I have a funded summer research experience placement for a current undergraduate student (at a UK institution) being advertised: iapetus2.ac.uk/wp-content/upl… Deadline 31st May. Would suit a student interested in geomorphology/remote sensing/fieldwork/...and midges

What's that? A new map viewer bringing together all the data of the Antarctic Digital Database? Freely available?! Go enjoy yourself zooming into bits of Antarctica, map lovers ⬇️ add.scar.org The BAS ✨MAGIC✨ team looks after this project for Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR).

Breaking news - literally..! There’s been a surprise #iceberg calving on the #Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica, near Halley Research Station. The berg is about the size of the Isle of Wight or Las Vegas. A section broke off at a 90° angle from a chasm called the “Halloween Crack”.

The calving of #A83 poses a real threat to the stability of the re-formed Halley bay emperor penguin colony. This colony was originally the second largest in the world, but several years of bad sea ice and iceberg calving events have hit it hard British Antarctic Survey 🐧

Are the Halley penguins safe? We'll be keeping an eye out for them with our newly started Natural Environment Research Council grant with Peter T Fretwell and Grant Macdonald ❄️🌎🇦🇶 at Geography at Durham and British Antarctic Survey 🐧

If you teach students about glacier change and want to introduce them to modeling, John Christian created a great lesson and tutorial Ghub using our open-source flowline model! Find lesson plan here: theghub.org/tools/simpleice

“War against universities will stop” under Labour, says shadow science secretary Peter Kyle, who has accused Rishi Sunak of “talking down” English higher education with attack on “Mickey Mouse” degrees. bit.ly/3wZ3A7d

Chinchorro is supposed to be a modern, downstream-constructed, thickened tailings emplacement, so is not immediately clear to me what has gone wrong here. See e.g.: researchgate.net/publication/36…

A great (and detailed) new paper on the British-Irish ice sheet and model-data fit. A superb template for future work in other regions too.

On the way back from holiday in Europe by ferry, what ship should we see but the Joides Resolution JOIDES Resolution on the final evening of its final science cruise. I took this photo as the sun sets on its time as a science vessel. How much science and how many careers have relied on her?
