Survived my first EGU! It was awesome to present some International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration work to so many people, I'm guessing they were there for the amazing talks before and after? 😅
If you want to learn more about pH and other measurements in the coastal Amundsen Sea, head to The Southern Ocean Sea Ice and Ice Shelves session (OS1.6) this afternoon! Lots of exciting talks on the schedule ❄️🧊 UEA School of Environmental Sciences ARIES DTP Challenger Society International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration
What’s under the unstable Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica? International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration and AWI Media went on an epic journey to find out.
Over a huge continuous area they did:
📏 350km of survey
🎙️ pulling 480 geophones
🚡 on 1.5km of cable
Here's the full story 📰

Couldn't make our #ThwaitesGlacier press conference at #EGU24 ?
Great news - you can watch online and see the fantastic Olaf Eisen @[email protected] and Rob Larter talk about their exciting findings about the bed under the ice and what it means for the future of Thwaites.

Their aim is to better predict how much and how fast sea level might rise over the next century as a result of #ClimateChange .

We are so proud to see our own Emma Pearce in the spotlight! Maybe you remember her recent post about her fieldwork ⏩ blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/2…
It was all smiles at the #FromIceSheetsToTheCoastMeeting at University of Houston last week, where people from a wide range of disciplines met to discuss causes, effects and adaptation to sea-level rise
I'm very excited to be presenting some new International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration work at #EGU24 next Wednesday! You can find me in Session CR1.3 'East and West Antarctica’s responses to climate change, past present and future.' Do any of y'all have any EGU/Vienna dos and don'ts for an EGU newbie?

Remember when Sif Island was discovered between Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers by scientists on a International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration cruise in 2020? You can read all about the geology of this tiny island in a study led by Imperial Earth Science & Engineering postdoc Jim Marschalek here: doi.org/10.1017/S09541…
The final International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration field season has wrapped up, marking the end of 5 years of research. The team have discovered some incredible things along the way and we're excited to see the results of this season's research.

Seal tagging started with a bang. Young male elephant seal on an ice floe and a Weddell seal as well later.
SMRU Instrumentation tags working well.
