cool- thanks! I hadn't seen that one. So perhaps if the present ACC temperatures are a transient warming, which then passes, then they can all recover..?
(with the provision that the models all are simulating key physics sufficiently)

But I guess, if the main point is that "it's complicated," it's a small wonder that I hadn't yet encountered this essay. Where's the fist shaking?!

Although in retrospect, I realize part of the reason this was so popular is that it was a break from otherwise wall-to-wall covid coverage.

For more bewildering coverage of the highest impact work I’ll ever do, I tried to track it here: tbartholomaus.org/media/#:~:te....

Ahhh…. a simpler time…

Have you gotten any reviews back recently? Anything out of the ordinary?

I remain committed to my work of understanding glacier behavior, in order to empower community responses to catastrophic flooding. But I'm not sure how to proceed in this mix of not enough and too much information

Did we get sunk by the Trump Administration's mandated dragnet? www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Or again, maybe we just fell short of an already competitive review environment- certainly neither proposal was perfect!

Any other recent experiences NSF experiences out there I can compare with?

There were glacier proposals, and according to 2024 best practice and current NSF guidance (www.nsf.gov/funding/lear...), we wrote "The team is dedicated to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in cryospheric science"

Congratulations!

Be in touch if you have questions or want to discuss more.

The first step to addressing this problem is identifying and communicating the problem.

This problem stems from the novelty of the research in this area and the legacy view of ice sheet modeling as an academic curiosity. Now that there is a clear applied need for ice sheet modeling to inform coastal planning, there needs to be a funding program to meet this need.

Because the simulations of observed ice sheet change are so flawed, the projections of sea level rise are likely flawed similarly. This means the funding going towards protecting coastal communities is potentially misallocated- it may not provide the level of protection for which its designed.

I created a starter pack on "Sea level change and coastal erosion". If you think I should add other people, please let me know. 7/x
