Hi Bluesky!
I'm a Lecturer in Marine Geosciences at the University of Barcelona. I currently teach the courses "marine Geology" and “Marine depositional environments and processes” in the BSc Marine Sciences and BSc Geology degrees.

🌊 Ocean warming threatens the viability of 60% of Antarctic ice shelves
If global temps stay <2 °C, nearly all 64 ice shelves survive by 2300. But above ~4.5 °C, ocean melt causes 38 shelves to collapse by 2300, risking up to 10 m sea level rise.

The way light reflects and refracts from water, esp. near the coast, has a lot to do with the sediment ( and other) particles suspended in them. What I didn't realize was that the waves can orient the particles, and thus how light behaves. 🧪🌊
