New preprint ✨: We explain why Antarctic ice-shelf melt responds non-linearly to warming, and show that the temperature-melt relationship differs between ice shelves in dry versus wet climates. Using new RACMO2.4p1 simulations until 2100 as part of @polarres.bsky.social project. 🇦🇶❄️

On the non-linear response of Antarctic ice shelf surface melt to warming

Abstract. Surface meltwater can saturate firn, form melt ponds, and trigger hydrofracturing of Antarctic ice shelves, ultimately accelerating grounded ice flow and contributing to sea level rise. Alth...

Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valleys are one of the most extreme places on Earth 🌍❄️. I talked with @drgilbz.bsky.social about my PhD research on the glaciers there, why they matter for climate and ecosystems, and how they’re changing in a warming world. Check the great video she made below ⬇️

You can now read our assessment, ideas and suggestions in our paper published in Journal of Glaciology, concerning questions such as: What kind of community do we hope to build over the next fifty years? What are current challenges and barriers? 🔍 Link: doi.org/10.1017/jog....

📣 New paper: Where do we want the glaciological community to be in 2073? Some context: The Karthaus summer school is an occasion where parts of our research community comes together — In 2023, I was lucky to participate myself and it was the year in which a new workshop was included in the program.

2️⃣🇧🇪 Kicking off Day 2 of our Annual Meeting with a poster session. An excellent opportunity for cross-pollination of ideas and a boost to the grey matter of our researchers! #H2020

1️⃣ Yesterday marked the first day of our Annual Meeting in Brussels 🇧🇪. Each work package had the chance to share their latest updates. To wrap up the day we had a lovely dinner at the Grand Place! #H2020

Wondering what drives the non-linearity between temperature and surface melt on Antarctic ice shelves? Come find me at poster X4.23 in Hall X4 for a chat this afternoon! Attached a photo of Nansen Ice Shelf to get your attention 👀❄️ #EGU25 #Antarctica #Cryosphere

🔑Early Career Researchers are key to #Horizon2020 projects. They bring fresh ideas and represent the future of science. 🤝Last week, our ECRs met in Sylt, Germany to collaborate, learn and connect! Read all about it in our latest article: polarres.eu/polarresnews...

New paper out! ❄️ Coastal Victoria Land, Antarctica, is a region of extremes—from the polar desert of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, to areas with much more snowfall nearby. We studied where the moisture for this snowfall comes from—and the weather patterns that drive it! 🌍 💨 (1/5)

Really exciting week joining the PolarRES ECR's on Sylt to work together on understanding the future of Antarctic ice sheet 🇦🇶🥼
