Beautiful to see things brighten as the sun comes back...

Best ship in the world, on the edge of Greenland and under a solar eclipse.... is this the best photo ever...?!

Great Q... a combination of human influences (greenhouse gases, ozone depletion) is altering the temperature gradients between the polar regions and the mid-latitudes... one impact of this is an observed strengthening of surface westerly winds (projected to continue also)

In the logistics yard at work... I hope they can find all the bits when they want to put it back together ... 😜 @bas.ac.uk

A new record for the amount of solar generation from my home panels, with almost 80% of it exported to the grid. This is the way.

Really hard to say at this stage. A warmer ocean provides more moisture and energy for storms, but the developing El Niño could give more vertical wind shear which could hamper storms developing. Last forecast I saw was for a below-normal season... prod-01-alb-www-noaa.woc.noaa.gov/news-release...

NOAA predicts below-normal 2026 Atlantic hurricane season

Early preparation essential to staying safe all season

An incredible journey - so much skill and determination.

It was quite a moment. Brought home the courage and resolve that those men had.

Happy Midwinter to all Antarctic folks. A year ago today, I was at Elephant Island, where Shackleton and his men were marooned for months before the amazing journey to South Georgia and ultimate rescue. Elephant Island is just outside the Antarctic Circle, so we did see a sunrise, albeit briefly.

Giant icebergs are amazing beasts.... a couple of years ago, we visited one up close, and now the results are published! Outstanding research from Laura Taylor and co, demonstrating how these behemoths of the sea influence ocean chemistry and the growth of life: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Continuous satellite observations of Antarctic sea-ice from 1979 onward reveal a very dynamic seasonal sea-ice cover with high variability on daily-to-decadal

Lovely story on the BBC about iceberg a23a, which has given us decades of fun but is now nearing its end… Really enjoyed talking with Mark Poynting about this one-time behemoth. www.bbc.co.uk/news/resourc...

bbc.co.uk

This iceberg was once the biggest in the world. Now it has just weeks left - BBC News

A23a was once twice the size of Greater London but now its 40-year journey is coming to an end.

I just installed it on my watch, and am off to Monaco next. Expect some warm Mediterranean temperatures inbound!

🌊❄️ When Antarctic glaciers collapse into the sea, they can trigger huge underwater tsunamis that mix the ocean, affecting ice loss, climate and ecosystems. The project I lead on this is now in the field and featured on Sky News: news.sky.com/story/underw... #Antarctic #OceanMixing #ClimateScience

A picture is worth 1000 words... This appeared on the BBC News today, showing the increase in solar electric generation in the UK. Not sure who produced it, but genuinely think this is a genius piece of scientific communication - the construct and choice of colour scale is near-perfect. Chapeau!

There were lots of seals in the water (whales too) - but I don't recall many hauled out. To be honest, much of the time there wasn't very much sea ice around, which was troubling to see in itself...

Heading home now, after an awesome week in Hobart! So much great Antarctic science happening here. Also: lovely people. Shame they’re so darn good at cricket 🏏

Prof Michael Meredith 🌊🧪🥼❄️ @oceanandice.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

Hello Hobart! Excited to be visiting, to give a talk at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, and a keynote at the @ACEAS annual meeting. Should be a great week (and the weather is amazing!) @antarcticsciaus.bsky.social @utas.edu.au
