🇦🇶 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.

Moreover, the firn also exhibits a vertical anisotropy. We were surprised about how strong that signal was

One key finding is that many pinning points are surrounded by local meteoric only, hence these buttressing relevant areas are particularly sensitive to atmospheric/oceanographic changes

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.
