We made it to the Ross Ice Shelf edge this afternoon. I gave a quick science talk on ice shelves on board when we were an hour away and at the end got to say - "ok go outside an look at a real one - in fact the biggest one". People were suitably blown away - a 40 m high wall of ice that disappeared into the horizon in both directions. #Oceanography #Antarctica #IceShelves #TAN2502

'Warm water' from #deepsea flowing towards one of #Antarctica's largest #iceshelves
Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne #IceShelf may be under threat due to relatively warm water from the deep sea flowing towards the shelf.
The melting of a massive ice shelf like FRIS would ultimately lead to huge #sealevelrise. However, researchers still have a lot to learn about this region, and it's unclear whether the increased flow of warm water is linked to #climatechange.

Really outstanding work from Leeds Uni Remote sensing, led by Ben Davison, on observed changes to #Antarctic #IceShelves
This was a highlight presentation of @OceanIceEU workshop bringing #EarthObservation + #climateModelling communities together earlier this year - which I am now coincidentally writing up as a report + recommendations for publication as I travel by #crossBorderRail today...
Worth a read, Ben is really good at beautiful easy to interpret graphics.

Very cool that some of our #Ukraine partners in @PolarRES have made it to Utrecht in person to present some of their results on #Lagrangian #ParticleTracking under the Ross and Filchner-Ronne #IceShelves as part of the #PolarRES + #PolarCORDEX meeting
Edit to add link to paper:
-
#SeaIce around the #polar regions plays a critical part in #protecting the adjacent #IceSheets. Less sea ice means less #sunlight will be reflected back to #space, causing #waters to #warm more & #destabilize surrounding #ice & #glaciers. #Coastlines are also much more exposed w/less sea ice, removing a buffer that could help protect #melting #IceShelves or ice sheets.

What is a #climatecoffee ?
Kicking off now with Romain Millan on #Antarctica and #IceShelves
The first in the new @OceanIceEU organised series with the European climate research alliance.

Preparing a breakfast talk for the research group @dmidk this morning and I'm reminded just how good (in a slightly bleak way) this #satpic animation showing #Antarctica's #IceShelves in retreat...

To start off the 1 paper per week challenge of this year, here is my #PaperOfTheWeek, or rather #PreprintOfTheWeek 😀
https://tc.copernicus.org/preprints/tc-2022-225/
They present and evaluate a new one-layer dynamical model to improve the fine-scale representation of #melt patterns under #Antarctic #IceShelves. Interesting to see how this can be applied to improve future #SeaLevel projections!
Quite technical but interesting for #ocean and #IceSheet #modelers! -
Staying with #Antarctic #IceShelves - I also found I had revisited this super cool paper by the awesome #DrGilbz (#EllaGilbert) and Christoph Kittel on the likely futures of the peninsula shelves under different warming scenarios..
tl;dr - limit the warming to save the shelves..5/
