Ny-Ålesund, das letzte Dorf vorm #Nordpol - früher wurde hier Kohle gefördert, heute wird am Ufer des Kongsfjord auf #Spitzbergen der #Klimawandel der #Arktis erforscht, u.a. von AWI Medien und British Antarctic Survey 🐧: sciencenotes.de/am-ende-der-po…… @science_notes; Dorothea E. Moser

Why do I suddenly mostly listen to #Vivaldi & other classical #music while working on my thesis? 🎶 Is it that manically typing on my keyboard resembles energetically playing the piano? 🤓🎹 It somehow feels like a symptom of having reached the trenches of writing up... #PhDlife

What an amazing initiative! 💚

To all UK journalists: the climate crisis needs to feature more in this election campaign. You have an opportunity to put climate change on the front pages tomorrow. Ask Uni of Reading for the images you can use. #ShowYourStripes

Carbon Brief is hosting a free webinar live from the Arctic on Friday 30 August, 10am (BST). 🎙️ Host Daisy Dunne 🗣️ Featuring Dorothea Moser (Dorothea E. Moser), scientist at British Antarctic Survey 🐧 and Henry Burgess, head of the Arctic Office. Register here ➡️buff.ly/3Mkq7iE

While this polar landscape may seem serene, it's not at #peace. Our British Antarctic Survey 🐧 media team has been working from the NERC Arctic Research Station in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, this week to capture & communicate how the #Arctic is changing due to #climatechange and how that's impacting the globe.

This image, taken on 28 August 2024, documents the effects of the heatwave, revealing large areas of glaciers around Longyearbyen (Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean) without snow cover. The absence of snow accelerates the rapid melting of the ice. copernicus.eu/en/media/image…

#Svalbard is the canary in the coal mine of #climatechange. 🧊💦 In this Q&A webinar with Carbon Brief, we share what #Arctic scientists are finding and experiencing.
