🎧Did you catch this episode of Beyond the Ice featuring #Thwaites researchers? Megan Sharp, Professor Sridhar Anandakrishnan and Dr Peter Davis, discussed their epic field work to study Thwaites Glacier, and explain what is shaping its future. 📸Rob Larter, Alex Mazur

#ThwaitesGlacier is set to retreat further and faster, affecting all of West Antarctica. Our latest models predict: 📈 accelerating ice loss in the 21st/22nd centuries 💧 collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in the 23rd Here's our news briefing ⬇️ thwaitesglacier.org/news/grim-outl…

Attending a very inspiring week, looking at results from the @GlacierThwaites programme. Great talk by @AsmaraLehrmann from @UHouston who is studying previous grounding zones in West Antarctica. You nailed it, Asmara! 🤗

Its an exciting week for the ITGC as the team gathers at @BAS_News in Cambridge to discuss what we've learned about the mighty Thwaites over the past few years - so a team photo was obligatory!

Welcome to around 100 #Thwaitesglacier experts from the UK, US, Korea and Germany meeting at @BAS_News this week to discuss observations and results from the collaboration so far 🧊

This is one *very* cool bit of research - the first map of an ice shelf’s bottom! Researchers weren’t expecting to find these sand dune-like shapes, so the discovery has sparked lots of questions! Check out the thread below for more 👇

Scoops and swirls. No, we're not talking about 🍨 but about the bottom of the Dotson ice shelf! In 2022, as part of the @GlacierThwaites scientists sent an underwater robot called Ran into the icy abyss underneath the Dotson ice shelf 📸Filip Sted 1/

I read this while deployed to Antarctica on my way to Thwaites and would definitely recommend it! Also so cool to see some @GlacierThwaites scientists I know as characters in a book 🇦🇶

If you were looking for a #summerread for vacation or fieldwork, @leah_muhle got you covered with a reflective #cryobook review on @ElizabethaRush's recent "The Quickening". About #fieldwork diversity, climate perspectives & more while in #Antarctica! blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/2…

A little over one week left until @theAGU abstract deadline! With Leilani Henry (@GlacierThwaites IDEA Council) and Dr. Benjamin Keisling (UT Austin) as invited speakers, this is sure to be an inspiring and impactful session - submit an abstract and join the conversation!!

Excited to invite the polar community to submit abstracts to our AGU session, "Weaving Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) into the Fabric of Polar Science." Please share widely among your networks and submit by July 31 at 11:59p! ❄️ agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prel…

#SummerScience at the @royalsociety kicked off this evening. See (and hear!) ancient ice samples bubble away. Touch a 3D map of Antarctica. Play with lego models of the Skytrain Ice Rise. But most importantly, talk to us about ice cores! @BAS_News @EarthSciCam @wacswain

Survived my first EGU! It was awesome to present some @GlacierThwaites work to so many people, I'm guessing they were there for the amazing talks before and after? 😅

What’s under the unstable Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica? @GlacierThwaites and @AWI_Media went on an epic journey to find out. Over a huge continuous area they did: 📏 350km of survey 🎙️ pulling 480 geophones 🚡 on 1.5km of cable Here's the full story 📰 bas.ac.uk/media-post/new…


Couldn't make our #ThwaitesGlacier press conference at #EGU24? Great news - you can watch online and see the fantastic @iceadvices and @rdlarter talk about their exciting findings about the bed under the ice and what it means for the future of Thwaites. youtu.be/bVRx5Ngl_U0?si…

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 @GlacierThwaites bit.ly/3vVKL42

We are so proud to see our own @emm_pearce in the spotlight! Maybe you remember her recent post about her fieldwork ⏩ blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/2…

What an exciting experience to cover a @EuroGeosciences press conference! @iceadvices @rdlarter and @emm_pearce are seen here talking about @BAS_News and @GlacierThwaites research on the #brunticeshelf and #Thwaites glacier. Stay tuned for a blog summary coming today!

It was all smiles at the #FromIceSheetsToTheCoastMeeting at @UHouston last week, where people from a wide range of disciplines met to discuss causes, effects and adaptation to sea-level rise

Looking forward to sharing some great science this week #EGU2024

The epic #Train2EGU journey is underway. Having left Cambridge at 5.30am, we’ve just left Frankfurt bound for Vienna and #EGU24 We’ll be promoting the latest results from Antarctica and @GlacierThwaites with more updates during the week ❄️🐧
