One of the leading women of the WSE has been promoting women in science at Long Road Sixth Form. Christine Batchelor Scott Polar Research Institute #InternationalWomenDay2020

The first of many scientific articles from Scott Polar Research Institute to result from our expedition! Well done Christine Batchelor Sasha Montelli Frazer Christie and others! Read it here ⬇️

Weddell Sea Expedition 2019 once again in the news! Great article by @BBCAmos following the recent publication of WSE-related research by Chief Scientist Julian Dowdeswell and colleagues Scott Polar Research Institute

More fantastic WSE-related research, this time published in world-leading journal Science! Well done Scott Polar Research Institute team Christine Batchelor Frazer Christie Sasha Montelli Dr Jeff Evans!

More excellent research led by Scott Polar Research Institute resulting from our use of AUVs during the expedition! Read the paper, published today in Geomorphology, at the link below! Congrats Christine Batchelor

Huge congratulations to expedition member Dr. Christine Batchelor Christine Batchelor Scott Polar Research Institute @NTNUnorway on being named the European Geosciences Union 2021 Outstanding Early Career Scientist (Cryospheric Sciences division). Very well deserved!

It's #penguineawarenessday today & who doesn't love a penguine.

Great coverage by Cambridge University on our new paper out in Nature Geoscience, featuring wonderful graphics and some sea ice footage acquired during Weddell Sea Expedition 2019. Read the paper here: rdcu.be/cNAY3

Yet more expedition-related research published this week (and free to read below), led by Christine Batchelor. The discovery of pockmarks - crater-like seafloor depressions - has interesting potential implications for past ice-sheet flow, the carbon cycle, and benthic communities.

There has been an assumption that the flow of land ice in Antarctica does not vary seasonally. Our new paper in The Cryosphere shows, for the first time, that distinct, seasonal signals in the velocity of Antarctica’s grounded glaciers exist. doi.org/10.5194/tc-16-… Scott Polar Research Institute

Study by Frazer Christie, @ericsteig et al. shows that the pace and extent of #melting in West #Antarctica vary by location, with #glaciers flowing to the Amundsen Sea most sensitive to atmosphere‒ocean variability atop a marine ice-sheet instability. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Total ice sheet collapse in West #Antarctica isn’t inevitable, according to new research from Scott Polar Research Institute. Read how the pace of ice loss varies according to regional differences in atmosphere and ocean circulation 👇 cam.ac.uk/stories/West-A…

Cool new findings from Scott Polar Research Institute on the sensitivity of #West #Antarctica - the #Weddell #Sea’s close neighbour - to climate change. Find out more below! ⬇️🧊🐧

Fitting that this was recorded on the publication date of our new nature study on rapid ice-sheet retreat. Are such pacific temp anomalies a forewarning of El Niño to come? This could have important (& scary) implications for West Antarctica if so … 1/4

New & important findings from the WSE 2019 Science Team, motivated by landforms they discovered in the Weddell Sea, showing that ice sheets are capable of retreating at hundreds of meters per day!
