This morning at #EGU24 i’ll be talking about our recent M²LInES work on improving climate model simulations of sea ice using data assimilation and machine learning. Come check it out in Room 1.34 at 10:45!

That’s a wrap on the EarthSciences UCL Pyrenees sed/strat course! Until next year.. ⛰️

We really hope that GPSat can be a community tool which people can use and contribute to. If you're interested, it's openly available on Github (github.com/CPOMUCL/GPSat). There's also an example notebook which can be run interactively in Google Colab. Please help us find bugs! 🪲

Check out our new #GPSat Python programming library for efficient interpolation of satellite altimetry (e.g. ESA's CryoSat mission ICESat-2) data using scalable Gaussian Process (GP)

Huge credit to all the team and Will Gregory for leading us on this one

Twitter used to be a great tool for keeping up with scientific news now my timeline is full of rubbish content...thanks for the dumbing down Elon Musk (Parody) -> Mastodon (@[email protected])

BIG NEWS!

Abstract submissions for the #Cryo2ice symposium open 1⃣ April

We want work relating to #CryoSat , #ICESat2 or both!

Themes:
🌊🧊 Sea ice
🧊🧝 Ice sheets and ice shelves
🏔️🧊 Mountain glaciers and ice caps
🌊🫧 Oceans and hydrology
➕ more!

2 new positions in Earth Sciences now open:

-> Lectureship in any research area ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

-> Lectureship in Experimental Ice and Rock Physics for the Environment ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

We are offering a full-time permanent Lectureship in Earth Sciences that complements and/or extends our existing strengths Candidates will have extensive knowledge and expertise in an area of Earth, Environmental or Planetary Sciences… ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

This tweet seems a good opportunity to post I’m very excited to start a new postdoc at Durham University in May, working to answer the ‘why’ here. 🐧❄️🧊💦

Still more to come from our work here at UVic on SAR and sea ice topography!

Our latest Challenging Climate podcast is with environmental journalist George Monbiot.

We discuss:
- Radical vs. Mainstream climate politics
- The cruel fantasies of well-fed people
- Controversial technologies like Nuclear, GMOs, and SRM

Sea ice thickness estimates derived from #CryoSat measurements are used in the Met Office global ocean–sea ice forecasting system 🌊🧊🗺️🔮

Rishi #Sunak was spot on - democracy is indeed under threat from extremists. The problem is, they’re running the country. We urgently need to wake up to the scale of the threat they pose. My piece for The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Just appeared on BBC Radio 4's Inside Science to discuss #SRM geoengineering and #UNEA6 with Prof. Joanna Haigh.

It was my first time at BBC Broadcasting house and Orwell's quote felt quite relevant.

Amazing seminar today @es_ucl organised by UCL Women in Earth Science honouring professor Kathleen Lonsdale and Dr Judith Milledge by two of their PhD students Prof Mike Glazer and our very own Prof Ian Wood. Amazing to learn about those two pioneers of crystallography.
