For those interested in the Wilkes Subglacial Basin or Antarctic Ice Sheet comms in general, I made some visualisations that may be useful. All are from code and traceable to the data. First, an overview of the system. Full video and metadata: youtu.be/kzpCeVsNNwU

Excited to share our new paper that has just been published in GRL. We show that the “SWOT” satellite, designed for surface water and ocean topography studies, can also measure changes in the Antarctic ice shelves. Also grateful for my amazing co-authors that helped get this through to publication.

ESR scientists were thrilled to spend Earth Day teaching students and parents about the importance of the oceans at the Sky Valley Education Center's Earth Day event on April 22. Susan Howard and Jesse Anderson explained the concept of density and discussed our work as physical oceanographers.

While all of this is happening to our scientific agencies, the current extent of sea ice globally remains at record low levels... More visuals at zacklabe.com/global-sea-i...

Line graph time series of 2025's daily global sea ice extent in red shading compared to each year from 1979 to 2024 using shades of purple to white for each line. There is substantial interannual and daily variability. Seasonal cycles are visible. Note: the poles are affected by very different Earth system processes/seasonality. I am using 5-day running mean data.

I'm a researcher funded by NSF. The indirect funds that are being slashed to 15% at NIH, and probably NSF soon, are not some kind of markup or profit. These pay for essential things like rent for a building to work in, lab space, salaries of people who manage benefits for the organization... 1/

Project 2025 describes NOAA as a primary component “of the climate change alarm industry” and said it “should be broken up and downsized.”

A new iceberg, ~30x14 km in size, recently calved from the southern end of the George VI Ice Shelf. It's called A84 and is already making quite an impact, bumping into the Stange Ice Shelf over the weekend! These Copernicus Sentinel-1 images from Polar View show the new berg over the last few days.

Well, we're learning more about what "harmful DEI" is. Inspiring Girls* Expeditions Alaska just lost a large chunk of their current funding. This is an outstanding free program that has brought great young women into earth science. Consider a donation, maybe? www.inspiringgirls.org/donate-uaf-e...
