Hey ice sheet types! 👋

The memes about the insane number of starter packs on this thing motivated me to create one more.

Please let me know who I am missing from the ice sheet world. 👇

Hey Cryoverse! 👋

If you need any motivation to call for action on the #AmbitionForMeltingIce at #COP30, check out the Glacier Casualty List. It's a global summary of 'critically endangered' & 'disappeared' glaciers and their stories.

It's really happening. 🧊💧

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

What are the impacts to the US of cutting polar science?

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)

This is an attack on US science. NSF staff provide critical support for scientific infrastructure and global excellence. These are valuable dedicated public servants. Please contact your reps, write letters, make noise!

Are there any plans for rallies at NSF headquarters?

Journalists: COVER THIS!
Please let the GEO/EAR community know: Program Directors and Mission Support who’ve been at NSF under two years were just terminated via Zoom. Even those of us whose offer letter stated one probationary year and whose government data states “permanent”.

Values aren’t slogans prepared by public relations specialists or negotiated with the government. When you drop diversity you reveal that it was never a core value and you don’t get to claim it again when the government or public sentiment changes.
The main DEI page from @agu.org has been modified to take diversity out of the title. Glad to see it's not deleted entirely, but hey AGU, we're watching what you do and remembering the big game you once talked about supporting your diverse membership.
