We present one of, if not the hottest October days ever experienced in the Denver area #COWX #denver #weather #Hotober

Crazy to think I took this photo 7 years ago, in the first season of our @bas.ac.uk supported project on the George VI ice shelf #Antarctica. Time flies!!

ICYMI: CIRES-led research explains how the planet's first known ice shelf estuary formed on the Petermann Ice Shelf. The estuary, where salt water from the ocean & fresh water from a surface meltwater river mix, might have contributed to a recent calving event

🥇 Unsurprisingly, Summer 2026 was the hottest summer on record in Boulder for daytime highs which averaged 90.4° over the 92 days of meteorological summer (Jun 1-Aug 31). This surpasses the prior record from 2012 by half of a degree. #COWx #Boulderwx #Denver #Boulder #Colorado

This represents a fun & serendipitous project about spy satellites, mutual friendship and penguins (1/n)…
