Preprint just released shows recent calving events from Brunt ice Shelf continue to affect ice dynamics: egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2023… Copernicus EU #Sentinel1 was vital and here shows the major calving events of recent years.

Head over to Adrian Luckman. Using the sharp radar eye of #Sentinel1a, he can see new rifts opening near the Brunt's grounding line - the zone where the ice coming off the continent becomes buoyant. aluckman4.wixsite.com/ade-s-world-of…
Parts of the Brunt Ice Shelf have sped up by more than a meter per day in recent weeks, as seen here by Copernicus EU #Sentinel1
Last month, #Iceberg D30 passed very close to Elephant Island in the South Atlantic. The 'berg was big enough to be seen by NOAA Satellites GOES weather sat, almost 40000km away. Here's what it saw between 29th Aug and 22nd Sept.

If you don't find this concerning, you really don't understand how bad things are getting. Yes, there's an El Niño at the moment, but the sea surface temperature anomaly has never been so extreme during previous El Niños. From The Guardian article - link in following post.
Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica calves new iceberg bas.ac.uk/media-post/bru… via British Antarctic Survey 🐧
Please tell me we're going to call it the #HalloweenBerg. Using the normal nomenclature (#A83) is so dull. This is the third large berg to come off the Brunt in three years. The decision of British Antarctic Survey 🐧 to move Halley base in 2016/17 looks ever smarter. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
