🎉 Latest paper from the NERC-funded Northeast Greenland Ice Stream project. Offshore geophysical and sedimentological evidence shows the ice stream extended to the shelf edge at the Last Glacial Maximum.

Matthew Memoli, a middling researcher at NIH, criticized COVID vaccine mandates and DEI, and was chosen by Trump to dismantle NIH. Memoli becomes NIH’s principal deputy director and awards himself and close collaborator Jeffery Taubenberger up to $500 million for in-house vaccine research. Cool.

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data.

"As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported."

nsidc.org/data/user-re...
Effective May 5, 2025, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (COGS). As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported. This includes Sea Ice Index, Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS) Data Products, Glacier Photograph Collection, U.S. National Ice Center Arctic Sea Ice Charts and Climatologies in Gridded Format Gridded Monthly Sea Ice Extent and Concentration, 1850 Onward World Glacier Inventory. If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at nsidc@nsidc.org. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.

PGC have been vital in processing and providing satellite imagery, digital elevation models, maps and other geospatial data to scientists for decades. Polar science needs this work to continue.

polargeospatial.bsky.social Polar Geospatial Center @polargeospatial.bsky.social · May 5
Effective immediately, the PGC is no longer accepting new NSF-supported requests due to a lack of renewal funding. Current work is wrapping up. Please contact your NSF program officer if impacted. We’re grateful to have supported your polar research. Read our full statement at www.pgc.umn.edu

A study, using our climate model MAR, lead by my colleague Brice Noel (FNRS) and published in Nature Communications, links the rapid mass loss of Patagonian glaciers to a poleward shift of subtropical high-pressure systems.

As the UK went into lockdown 5 years ago today, I went into a deserted London to start radiation ☢️ therapy for HPV related head & neck cancer. I had to wear this extremely tight fitting mask for 15 mins every day for 7 weeks. The saga still goes on… #cancersky #hpvcancer #fuckcancer

Winter subglacial meltwater detected in a Greenland fjord

The results suggest that warm Atlantic water and nutrients are entrained at the glacier front, leading to enhanced frontal melt and increased nutrient levels.

Temperature and salinity observations from a Greenland fjord suggest that subglacial meltwater is discharged during winter, impacting the fjord heat budget and biological productivity.

Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats.

After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

Teamwork, equality, and respect sorely missing today. Saddened by all the division. Remembering fondly our science colleagues in Cuba and what they taught me about working together as a team no matter our differences. Here's a short reflection from 2020.🧪💙📚

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples.

1. Women are credited less in science than men.

Women are credited less in science than men - Nature
The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.

I’ve been adding slowly to my #Quaternary science starter pack but aware lots have joined since I made it. It is (not accidentally) biased toward female scientists, so in case you need to diversify your follows, take a look!
