TODAY! Heading to EGU? Join us for our APECS Splinter Meeting at 10:45 - 12:30 Room 2.97. Meet fellow polar enthusiasts right from the start of the week and get some insights on how-to-EGU! Looking forward seeing many of you today!

Airborne Radar Reveals Area‐Wide Decadal Increase of Surface Mass Balance on the Plateau in Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica
New radar data show a 21% surface mass balance (SMB) increase in western Dronning Maud Land over the past five decades versus a mean since 1209 C.E. Much of the spread in past estimates stems fro...

Back from the ice! ❄️✨ Our group member @alexandrazuhr.bsky.social has safely returned from Antarctica after an intense field campaign. She drilled several firn cores that will be key to dating and interpreting airborne radar data collected with Polar6. Excited for the science to come!

Nice talk by @Alexandrazuhr.bsky.social at #EGU2025 about the surface mass balance history in East Antarctica. Do we see an increase in surface accumulation rates in the last decades? I think we do. This would at least be one component that buffers against sea level rise

What an incredible experience! I was honored to be part of the Geoshow Unterirdisch yesterday, sharing insights about polar research and fieldwork ❄️ I hope I was able to inspire some of the kids to pursue a future as polar scientists! 😊

Check out my @geophys-tuebingen.bsky.social group! We're doing all kind of geophysical measurements in ❄️icy❄️ areas to learn more about basal melt of ice shelves, the ice-bed interface and the surface mass balance of the driest areas in Antarctica!
