🇦🇶 Antarctica’s coastal zone is changing fast & it matters globally. A new #AntarcticRINGS review paper maps what we know, what we don’t & why it matters for sea-level rise. 🌊

Check out this time-lapse video of waves eroding an ice front from an experiment conducted in our cryogenic wave tank at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The tank is housed in a walk-in freezer, and the waves are precisely controlled. This video captures about an hour of wave erosion.

Interdisciplinary collaborations can lead to really cool science.

This study led by @gmoss13.bsky.social is a great example. Here, we show how simulation-based inference helps to infer more information from radar stratigraphy than possible before: Both, surface accumulation and basal melt rates.
