We have waited 8 yrs, and it's finally out: IPCC AR6! With more than 10,000 pages long across the Working Groups, at the EGU Cryosphere @egu-cr.bsky.social #Cryoblog, we thought it might be useful to highlight the main cryo-findings! Check it out here➡️blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/2…

Seconded!

What strange place is this? 806 day interlude…

I was wise enough to convince Dr. Andrey to serve on my PhD supervisory committee back in the day. A ferocious editor with boundless and contagious positive scholarly energy. And a mentor to so many. Congratulations!

Very fortunate to have 10 days of these views…back home now and time to tackle the inbox…

Pre-print of the AMAP Arctic Climate Change Update: Key Trends and Impacts is now available. amap.no/documents/doc/…

The #Arctic is warming three times faster than the rest of the world. At the request of a consortium led by ArcticNet, the Council of Canadian Academies has formed an expert panel to identify key issues facing the #north. #environment CCA_CAC environmentjournal.ca/the-cca-forms-…

New post-doc opportunity: How will climate change influence mobility within and through the Canadian Arctic? Work with northern communities to develop informed adaption options alongside Sapna Sharma, Dr. Jackie Dawson, @riwoolway myself, and other good folks!

Have you ever wondered what it’s like at the Eureka Weather Station on Ellesmere Island in #Nunavut? Join @Min_Northern on a virtual tour with the staff and scientists and learn more about #climatechange in the North. bit.ly/3Qlr76m

Wish I had stepped up and done this sooner…see you in 2 months!

A few things to catch up on after some weeks away: 1/4 Super work from the snow community to produce this comprehensive new review paper on Ku-band radar remote sensing of snow mass. Invaluable as we continue to develop a Ku-band SAR mission in Canada. tc.copernicus.org/articles/16/35…

2/4 Airborne Ku-band radar datasets from multiple campaigns are now clearly described and available with one stop: essd.copernicus.org/articles/14/39…

3/4 Big thanks to my colleague Lawrence Mudryk for leading the Arctic snow contribution to the 2021 State of the Climate report. ametsoc.org/index.cfm/ams/… Important to note the differences between northern hemisphere and Arctic spring snow extent trends…

4/4 Required (and disturbing) reading for all polar field scientists. Change needed immediately. nsf.gov/news/news_summ…

Here’s a young Jack Landy on sea ice near Eureka… Things seem to have progressed well because his new paper is on the cover of Nature…congrats! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Save the date! We have two speakers lined up for our next SINTER seminar on Friday 18 November: M. Durand @hydrogawker C. Derksen Chris Derksen See: nsidc.org/sinter#anchor-0

Very cool venue EUMETSAT for my presentation on the Ku-band SAR mission we continue to develop in Canada. Really appreciate the opportunity to connect in person! On to Davos…

Metric. Denver. Amazing show!

This is very nice! A huge thank-you to my colleagues, collaborators, and mentors. Science is a team sport, and I’ve been very fortunate to be part of exceptionally collegial research networks from my days as a student in Waterloo Environment, through to my current team ECCC SciTech.

And a specific thank you to Ellsworth LeDrew and Barry Goodison, two pillars of the Canadian cryosphere research community, who set me on my path and kept it clear!
