Thwaites Glacier won’t collapse like dominoes as feared, study finds, but that doesn’t mean the ‘Doomsday Glacier’ is stable

Extremely happy that my new paper on the future of #AntarcticIceSheet surface melting is finally published! 🎉
We use a new melt module in our ice-flow model #PISM which in addition to temperature also takes into account the effect of solar radiation & thus the melt–albedo feedback. Check it out! #OpenAccess #OpenScience

I regret not being able to attend #EGU23 @EuroGeosciences myself this year, but feel free to check out @lenanicola’s poster to see what I’ve been working on lately, among other things:

@GlacierGuy Exactly. It's related to a phenomenon called #hysteresis, which I try to explain in this @EuroGeosciences blog post (from which the graphics are also taken): https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/2020/12/04/hysteresis-for-dummies-why-history-matters/

We also published an article in @nature about the hysteresis of the #AntarcticIceSheet: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2727-5

Hello World! Here's my somewhat belated #introduction.

I'm a #climate researcher and ice sheet modeller at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research #PIK_Climate in Germany (www.pik-potsdam.de), where I'm currently pursuing my #PhD on the long-term stability behaviour & #TippingPoints of the #AntarcticIceSheet and its implications for future #SeaLevelRise.

I prefer the real world over the virtual one, but use the latter to inform myself (and sometimes others).
