We had another great evening teaching kids about density and the oceans at Edmond Heights K-12 STEAM fair last night. For this event, ESR's @slhowardcryo.bsky.social and Jesse Anderson were joined by UMD glaciologist Taryn Black to present our hands-on exhibit.

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!

ESR scientists were thrilled to spend Earth Day teaching students and parents about the importance of the oceans at the Sky Valley Education Center's Earth Day event on April 22. Susan Howard and Jesse Anderson explained the concept of density and discussed our work as physical oceanographers.

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.

ESR was happy to once again participate in Echo Lake Elementary School’s Annual STEM Night on Wednesday, Feb 12th. Susan Howard @slhowardcryo.bsky.social, Jesse Anderson, and Kathleen Dohan presented several hands-on learning activities to teach kids about "Density and the Ocean.

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.

A new paper about the Antarctic Ice Sheet in a special issue of @science.org reviews critical knowledge gaps in our understanding of how Antarctica responds to variations in global climate.

ESR just celebrated its 30 year anniversary! We have been home to some great scientists, with leading roles in satellite missions, fieldwork, and journal editorships. We celebrate our many contributions to science through our collaborations, papers, data product development, and mentoring.
