Breaking: on geoengineering in the polar regions! Pre Print paper led by @mjsiegert #geoengineering #COP29 #Climate

Very happy to share our pre-print paper "Safeguarding the polar regions from dangerous geoengineering". This field is advancing very fast, funded by big money; here is some scientific objectivity and a serious reality check.

How many elephant seals can YOU count? A team of researchers are using images from drones in tandem with satellite images from space to count Southern Elephant Seal populations on South Georgia Island. Read more about how they're doing it here 👇 ow.ly/WncY50U5o15

Changes in the #PolarRegions will affect everyone. Understanding and predicting this change needs commitment and talent; and that needs a supportive and inclusive community. Wishing everyone a happy #PolarPride as part of a wider celebration of #DiversityInPolarScience 🐻‍❄️🐧🥶🏳️‍🌈

Hello early career researchers! Apply for support from British Antarctic Survey by 3 Jan 🗓️ Check out all the details ⬇️

And it's out! "The first ice-free day in the Arctic could occur before 2030". For more details on yet another bad news for the #Arctic and its #SeaIce, check the paper or email me. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Come join us! Geography at Durham really is a fantastic, supportive, and vibrant place to work - I feel lucky that I get to work with so many great colleagues here!

We’ve revived our inquiry into The UK and the #Antarctic Environment, looking at the role that UK science can play in understanding and protecting the region. Find out more about our final session on Wednesday: committees.parliament.uk/event/22579/fo…

Today's #Sentinel3 image of #iceberg #A23a on its approach to South Georgia. At present, the berg is heading straight for the territory, but we know the water current veers southeast when it encounters the continental shelf, so we expect A23a to make a sharp turn, too.

🌊With so many competing demands on our seas and oceans, are international treaties that the UK has signed and ratified adequately protecting this vital ecosystem? ➡️Read more: committees.parliament.uk/committee/62/e…

Iceberg A23a viewed from Sentinel-3 yesterday. Glorious view. Distance to South Georgia is now just over 200km. Notice the armada of growlers and bergy bits leading in front of A23a. The current should turn at the continental shelf, which extends about 50km offshore.

"It is impossible to overstate how critical this region is to our shared future." - Toby Perkins MP, Chair We've published a report on the UK and the Antarctic environment 👇

Fantastic to see the Environmental Audit Committee has released their report on the UK and the Antarctic environment, featuring evidence from CPOM and colleagues across the Polar Science community. It's vital to protect the polar regions and this report highlights many of the reasons why 👇

Published today🐧 Proud and thankful to have my research contribute to both written and oral evidence included within the Environmental Audit Committee's (House of Commons) new report-See page 64 for my evidence on the importance of ‘inspiring conservation values’ during visits🐧
