New preprint ✨: We explain why Antarctic ice-shelf melt responds non-linearly to warming, and show that the temperature-melt relationship differs between ice shelves in dry versus wet climates. Using new RACMO2.4p1 simulations until 2100 as part of @polarres.bsky.social project. 🇦🇶❄️
On the non-linear response of Antarctic ice shelf surface melt to warming
Abstract. Surface meltwater can saturate firn, form melt ponds, and trigger hydrofracturing of Antarctic ice shelves, ultimately accelerating grounded ice flow and contributing to sea level rise. Alth...

🌊 In Isfjorden, Svalbard, air–sea heat exchange varies across space and time. Sea ice and local winds create hotspots, while nearby open ocean loses heat more uniformly.

🌀Summer 2006: the northern Antarctic Peninsula, a highly productive ecosystem, saw record-high phytoplankton blooms – the largest in over two decades.

But why?

Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valleys are one of the most extreme places on Earth 🌍❄️. I talked with @drgilbz.bsky.social about my PhD research on the glaciers there, why they matter for climate and ecosystems, and how they’re changing in a warming world. Check the great video she made below ⬇️

💻Antarctic sea ice is changing, but models often miss key details.

The new MetROMS-UHel model improves sea ice and atmospheric data, with better summer sea ice area predictions — though ice near coasts is thinner and more deformed.

❗Svalbard, one of the fastest warming regions, saw record summer heat in 2024.

🌡️Even after accounting for warming trend, August temps rose far beyond the norm.

📈 PolarRES finds unprecedented weather patterns and warm seas drove it, raising questions about future persistence.
