(1/2) This year we will be highlighting the work of one of our reserachers every month in the form of a Polar Postcard. Our researcher of the month is PhD student Konstantis Alexopoulos 🇬🇷

(2/2): "Even though the Mediterranean mountains are some of the most rapidly warming in the planet, they remain widely understudied. These pictures show me conducting fieldwork in the Pindus mountains, Greece." Pics from Konstantinos Sofikitis

Today our talented cohort of MPhil students presented their dissertation progress so far. Topics ranged from the Indigenous Film Industry to Dolines on Antarctic Ice Shelves. Interested in joining our MPhil programme in future? Take a look at our website! spri.cam.ac.uk/postgraduate/m…

Happy IWD! Reflecting today on how far we have come, but how far we have left to go. This year I pledge to be authentically myself, regardless of societal norms 🙌

At #EGU24 this week? Want to learn about recent advances in remote & close-range sensing methods in cryospheric research? Then you may be interested in our session CR5.3 tomorrow! Key info: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/… Dr Rebecca Dell James Lea 🏳️‍🌈❄️🛰 Tom Chudley Dr Will D. Harcourt EGU Cryosphere

At EGU and ready to start the day! This morning we have organised a session on close and remote sensing of the cryosphere, starting at 0835 in Room Room 1.61/62! There are some great talks lined up so do come and find us!

Our poster session on close- and remote sensing of the cryosphere is in full swing this evening Tom Chudley James Lea 🏳️‍🌈❄️🛰 Nathaniel Baurley Dr Will D. Harcourt Veronica Tollenaar & Niccolò Dematteis EGU Cryosphere

Landmark new study finds that climate change will cause $38 TRILLION of destruction EACH YEAR by 2050, causing average incomes to shrink by 19% within the next 26 years! This damage will be 6x higher than the cost of limiting global warming to 2 °C theguardian.com/environment/20…

Applications are open for a networking and training event for Icelandic and UK Early Career Researchers (ECRs) onboard the RRS Sir David Attenborough (SDA)!

Read our latest paper on the first field observation of Antarctic ice shelf fracture! Proud to have been part of this work with Dr. Alison Banwell Ian Willis Laura Stevens and Doug MacAyeal.

Staff Members and Associates at the Scott Polar Research Institute are amongst a group of scientists who have made the first ever direct observations of ice shelf fracture due to meltwater loading in Antarctica! shar.es/agsDVR Dr Rebecca Dell Ian Willis Dr. Alison Banwell

Interested in the drivers of the recently observed seasonal land-ice-flow in Antarctica? Our new JGR-Earth Surface paper reveals summertime speed-up in the Antarctic Peninsula can be attributed to both surface and oceanic forcing. Read for free here: doi.org/10.1029/2023JF…

Slush holds 2x more meltwater, risks Antarctic ice shelf stability, AI reveals interestingengineering.com/science/ai-mod…

New paper alert!🪇 Led by the very fab Dr Rebecca Dell in Nature Geoscience, we highlight the critical importance of considering slush when studying surface melt in Antarctica. Read more in Becky's thread below! 🧵

🚨 New paper! 🚨 Meet SUPREME💫: a method designed to downscale Antarctic surface melt from a regional climate model using a physically-informed super-resolution architecture. (1/5)
