It was a great day filled with a lot of hands-on learning. We are looking forward to our next event which is next week at Edmond Heights K-12 STEAM fair!

We had quite a crowd! It was a busy night full of fun science for kids and adults. Please reach out to Susan Howard @slhowardcryo.bsky.social if you would like us at your next Seattle area STEM event.

measurements through new high-resolution satellite missions and targeted fieldwork. Progress will require increased investments in polar research, training of the next generation of researchers, and global collaborations.

The authors summarize the complexity of critical portions of the ice sheet, and ice loss processes, as a roadmap to direct future studies. To fully understand this component of the Earth’s climate system, substantial progress is needed in modeling, and

The ice sheet is the largest freshwater reservoir on Earth but has been losing mass at its edges, contributing to rising sea levels and freshening oceans. The sea ice around Antarctica has also dramatically declined over the past decade.

Led by Scripps Oceanography glaciologist Helen Amanda Fricker, with ESR’s Laurie Padman as a co-author, the paper emphasizes the importance of Antarctica as a vital component of Earth’s climate system.
