Brunt Ice Shelf has now calved 3 large icebergs in a little over 3 years. The animation shows past calving events from Sentinel-1 and Monday's 373 square km calving from the Suomi NPP VIIRS. Further animation to follow when Sentinel-1 captures a new image.

Understanding the complex processes that operate in ice sheet grounding zones is a critical frontier for improving predictions of future ice sheet loss. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Animation of ESA Earth Observation #Sentinel1 Extra-Wide mode images of Brunt Ice Shelf covering the three major calving events over the last 3.5 years. The ice shelf is now at its smallest recorded extent

To understand the glaciers holding back meters of sea level rise, climate scientists swoop in to extract ice from Antarctica’s remote west coast. Learn more in this News from Science feature: scim.ag/77F

It looks like climate models are under-predicting sea level rise, and scientists have been trying to work out why. Now, new analysis by Dr Alex Bradley Alex Bradley may have identified the missing puzzle piece… bas.ac.uk/media-post/new… Buckle up for a 🧵⬇️

We received this amazing footage from Professor Alun Hubbard showing rare meltwater upwelling and moulins on the Western Greenland Ice Sheet yesterday after five days of high temperatures & clear skies. Professor Hubbard commented, “Surface melt, upwelling & moulins kicking off

New #Antarctic data: "greater depths of troughs on the continental shelf and ice shelf cavities imply that many glaciers are more vulnerable to ocean subsurface warming than previously thought, which may increase the projections of SLR from Antarctica." nature.com/articles/s4159…

So happy to see LISTER drilling to 1 m on the Moon! We invented this technology back in 2007 and it took some time to get here. Thank you NASA for supporting this technology development and selecting us for flight. Thank you Firefly Aerospace for smooth flight and landing!
