@wflibraries.bsky.social🇳🇴 Did you know Roald Dahl was named after Polar explorer Roald Amundsen.
His parents were originally Norwegian like Amundsen.

@ruth-mottram.fediscience.org.ap.brid.gyOur lovely colleagues from the #Ukraine #Antarctic science centre gave a great showcase of all their science work in OCEAN ICE this evening, highlight was either the penguins or the direct link up with their #VernadskyStation boss: Anzhelika Hanchuk, one of a […]
@ruth-mottram.fediscience.org.ap.brid.gyKicking off our joint @OceanIceEU policy briefing on our One Ocean with our sister project EPOC looking at Atlantic #AMOC #Antarctic and #Arctic #climate change
@ruth-mottram.fediscience.org.ap.brid.gyIn Brussels and at a loose end tomorrow (Friday 11th September) evening?
Come and join us and our Ukrainian colleagues from National Antarctic Scientific Center of #Ukraine to talk Penguins, Floats and Balloons and learn more about our OCEAN ICE work on the #Antarctic peninsula
5pm to 6.30pm […]
@antarctic.bsky.socialFor the first time, crucially important features of the #Antarctic coastal zone have been mapped in high resolution right around the continent, by training an artificial intelligence tool to accurately recognise grounded icebergs from satellite radar images.
@antarctic.bsky.social🚨 PhD project in Hobart @utas.edu.au
🌊 Using Deep Argo floats, investigate variability and change in #Antarctic Bottom Water and the deep overturning circulation in the Southern Ocean
🎓 Scholarships available
✍️ Applications close 1 October

@antarctic.bsky.socialNew research shows #Antarctic krill larvae can travel much farther across the Southern Ocean by hitching a ride with drifting sea ice than with ocean currents alone.

@zacklabe.com#Antarctic sea ice is nearing its annual maximum extent (austral winter). This year will not be setting any new records, though there are plenty of regional extremes as shown in August's anomaly pattern
+ Concentration means the fraction of ice in an area

@osi-saf.eumetsat.intIn August 2026, the #SeaIce global extent was 7% below 1991-2020 mean. Since the beginning of records (1978):
- #Arctic, 12th lowest monthly mean, with 9% less extent (-617,526km²)
- #Antarctic, 4th lowest monthly mean, with 6% less exent (1,178,424km²)

@zacklabe.comLast month was the 3rd lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of August.
This was 1,260,000 km² below the 1981-2010 August average. Data from the @nsidc.bsky.social at nsidc.org/data/seaice_...
@antarcticjenny.bsky.socialHappy to see this finally out after several years of hard work - truly an international collab effort!
Filling knowledge gaps in the coastal regions of the #Antarctic Ice Sheet is critical for future sea-level rise projections.
