It may be difficult for the untrained eye to see - but we were of course dressed in the colors of glaciers at last weeks Christmas party at DTU Space🧊❄️🎄

Rasmus and @tabea-rettelbach.bsky.social are in Budapest this week at HungaroMet for the PISCO & @polarres.bsky.social hackathon! 🇭🇺
With 20 other students and instructors, they’re exploring projects that combine climate model outputs with in-situ and EO data to better understand our Polar regions.🌍❄️

DTU Space was at the Danish Climate Science Symposium 2025 🇩🇰

We’re shared a handful of posters and a talk by Sebastian B. Simonsen: “From Satellites to Digital Twins – Monitoring the Greenland Ice Sheet.” Great discussions on climate, ice, and models! ❄️

📢 New publication! Ahead of #ESA #CRISTAL, we explore dual-frequency #altimetry for estimating 🧊 snow depth over sea ice.

🛩️ Part 1: Airborne multi-freq altimetry → snow depth 👉 tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/...

🛰️ Part 2: Compare w/ CryoSat-2 & ICESat-2 #CRYO2ICE 👉 tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/...
Multi-frequency altimetry snow depth estimates over heterogeneous snow-covered Antarctic summer sea ice – Part 1: C∕S-, Ku-, and Ka-band airborne observations
Abstract. The recent alignment of CryoSat-2 to maximise orbital coincidence with the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) over the Southern Ocean and Antarctica in July 2022, known as...

Antarctica is undergoing “greenlandification,” with ice loss processes mirroring Greenland ❄️🌍 New paper out in Nature Geoscience with DTU Space contributions on key signs: doi.org/10.1038/s415... #ClimateChange #Antarctica #Greenlandification
The Greenlandification of Antarctica - Nature Geoscience
Climate and ice sheet processes in Antarctica increasingly reflect those observed earlier in Greenland. Applying process insights from Greenland can improve projections of future Antarctic ice and climate behaviour.

📢 A new study pinpointing 📌 differences in RCM melt extent using observations from ASCAT 🛰️ is out! Led by our PhD student Anna Puggaard with @louisesandbergs.bsky.social, @eo4cryo.bsky.social and colleagues from @dmidk.bsky.social, GEUS and ENVEO. Interested? See ➡️ tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/...
Bias in modeled Greenland Ice Sheet melt revealed by ASCAT
Abstract. The runoff of surface melt is the primary driver of mass loss over the Greenland Ice Sheet. An accurate representation of surface melt is crucial for understanding the surface mass balance a...

Congratulations to DJ Upside Down Turtle and DJ Disco Disc for their triumph in the inaugural Cryosphere Group Disc Golf Championship! 🥳🥳
A lovely afternoon spent with great colleagues and only "a few" discs had to be dug out of trees or fished out of water. Time to start practicing for next year 🙃

Better late than never. Big thanks to @anja-ruti.bsky.social and @eo4cryo.bsky.social for all their help as we try to unravel #Greenland Ice Sheet surface roughness from radar altimetry. Hat tip to the @esa.int Living Planet Fellowship program for supporting this work! doi.org/10.5194/tc-1...
Greenland Ice Sheet surface roughness from Ku- and Ka-band radar altimetry surface echo strengths
Abstract. Surface roughness is an important factor to consider when modelling mass changes at the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) surface (i.e., surface mass balance, SMB). This is because it can have impo...

🛰️Will we see you at the #LPS25? 🌎

If you're heading to the Living Planet Symposium in Vienna next week, let us know – we would love to connect! ❄️

Have a look at the following posts about where you will find us and what we will be presenting during the week!

We should learn from TU Delft! The PhD-defense at DTU would be more festive with this amazing dresscode 🎓
#DTUfashion #LoveHats
A phd ceremony at TUDelft requires that you really dress up! 😅
The supervisors can be proud of their PhD student.. she did great!

We just wrapped up an inspiring session in our #Geodesy and #EO division! 🌍
Everyone had 4 minutes to share what they’re working on. In just one hour, we gained a fresh view of projects and research. It wasn’t easy sticking to the time limit, but that challenge made the stories even more engaging 🚀

@polarportal.bsky.social is getting an update! We have provided the Greenland Ice Sheet mass budget from GRACE and GRACE-FO
Good morning! Quick reminder that you can see the current state of the #Arctic #SeaIce on @polarportal.bsky.social where you can also see how the # Greenland Ice Sheet mass budget from GRACE and the daily surface mass budget from @dmidk.bsky.social Some big improvements + new data coming soon too
