Very artsy pictures for the Nottingham Science Festival team!

Everyone who worked on the event, from the organisers to the library staff, were a dream to work with. And thanks to our volunteers!

👀 A fascinating insight to how changes in #Antarctic sea ice have effects elsewhere in the world:

🕳️ Lack of usual sea ice in Ross Sea

🌪️ hurricane-strength winds
🟰
🌊 strong, long-period swell on the southern NSW coast more than 4000km away!

For doctors dreaming of an adventure: how about being deployed for a season to Antarctica?

We chatted to Dr Nisha Mistry (now on RRS Sir David Attenborough) and Dr Becky Boys (was at Rothera Research Station) about practising medicine in the frozen South.

We see you!
😳 That‘s us!
🛰️ Seen from space: our satellite mapper Pat Wongpan @utas.edu.au found RSV Nuyina and the Denman Marine Voyage #DMV on 10 April near Shackleton Ice Shelf in East #Antarctica. Using Landsat-8 imagery, he identified Nuyina from its track through the sea ice, reddish colour and 160.3 m length.

Yeah, they gave us some candid feedback on all the disappearing sea ice.

Turns out, that's a real hot topic in Antarctica? The conversation got pretty heated.

It's not funny because it's true?
With 2024 coming in at or above #1o5C, and a run of 12 months to June 2024 where monthly warming was at or above 1.5°C, questions are coming about whether or not the longer-term 1.5°C limit set out in the Paris Agreement has been reached.

2 papers out today look at these Qs. 🧵👇
Reaching the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C limit: are we there yet?
Two new papers published in Nature Climate Change today ask whether the recent global temperatures at or exceeding 1.5° warming above preindustrial mean the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C limit has been reac...
