What a way to start a #postdoc! I spent Aug-Sep as part of the #BeyondEPICA campaign @bas.ac.uk, handling unique a #icecore that likely holds >1.2 million yrs of climate history. 😲 This European collaboration is breaking many records, with an incredible amount of data waiting to tell its story... ✨

What hibernates in spring-summer & resurfaces in autumn?
A happy ice-core #PhD student, who successfully defended in May & enjoyed a proper break before starting a postdoc @bas.ac.uk. 🎓 That’s #me — now back on track for a new season of #science, with more on my early #postdoc adventures to come.
Today's #cryoblog is another episode of our #cryocaps miniseries, where @mack-baysinger.bsky.social chats with researchers about their PhD hats.
In episode 4 Mack meets @heartmeltingice.bsky.social who tells us all about ice core melt.

💡Our results show this high-mountain site preserves valuable environmental records and opens new possibilities for understanding Southern Hemisphere #climate from the heart of the westerly wind belt. But time is running out - rapid #warming puts these unique records at ever-increasing #risk. 😰 2/2
🎉 Proud to be part of this pioneering research, which has just been published in @agu.org JGR Atmospheres! The team, led by Dieter Tetzner at @bas.ac.uk, ventured to one of the world's most remote ice fields to extract the first #firn core from Chile's Cordillera Darwin. ❄️ 1/2
“Fixing climate change is too expensive.”
Um no. What’s really expensive is doing nothing.
Climate disasters cost billions—and those costs are rising fast. Climate solutions save money and lives, as well as building a better world for us all 🌏💚
Yesterday's devastating #glacier collapse erasing the Swiss village of Blatten still leaves me speechless...
The high mountain areas are adapting to ever increasing temperatures. It's time to wake up! When, if not now?
This is not far away but right here...

It’s not always easy to work with #icecores affected by #melt, but they still have important climate stories to tell. 💧❄️ I’m grateful I got to share about our work in the #Arctic - and I hope it encourages others that all is not lost. @carbonbrief.org

"In daily life I meet people who ask me if the Arctic is actually changing," says Iain Rudkin, Arctic Operations Manager for the British Antarctic Survey.
"I wish they could see how much it's lost so quickly."

It's International Year of Glacier Preservation and the inaugural World Glacier Day. But why should we preserve these glaciers? from.ncl.ac.uk/why-should-w....
Rain in the northernmost city on Earth. This month temperatures have been almost always above normal.
The Arctic is becoming totally unrecognisable.
And in the meantime #BP and #Equinor are doubling down on fossil fuels.
Profits over people. Profits over a liveable Earth.
Snowdrops peaking through the winter ground, which is overed in brown autumn leaves.

Sometimes, the world feels crazy and overwhelming. That’s when finding grounding spaces matters most. Grabbing a delicious coffee at Pages Coffee House today — a small reminder that calm, kindness, and quiet goodness still exist if we pause and notice.

More good news from January 2025.
Climate scientists, it’s your turn.
If you rely on data from NOAA, time to start backing it up. Probably not a bad idea for people to do this with NASA, USGS, EPA, etc.
Our group is doing our best but there’s a lot of data out there to save from King Control-X here.

An important paper! Both good and bad news here....I've copied their thread below. #climate #Antarctica @bas.ac.uk 1/4
Every year, the World Economic Forum at Davos reports on the consensus of risks facing the world.
In the short-term, it's DISINFORMATION.
Long-term, it's CLIMATE CHANGE.
And, guess what, they're linked!

What a whirlwind of exciting #EarthSciences #AGU24 has been! 🤓🤩 I am still buzzing from all the inspiring talks & conversations. Thanks a lot to the conveners of the #firn surface processes session for inviting me & a big shout out to my #PhD office crew at @bas.ac.uk. You are simply the best! ❤️
The 7 Jan deadline for #PhD applications is fast approaching! Make sure to check our guidance on applying and reach out to prospective supervisors. We’re here to help you with your application!

Cover slide of a presentation showing a serene snow-covered landscape in shades of blue and purple lighting. The title of the presentation by Dorothea Moser is: Insights into melt-affected firn Cores through 3D X-ray scans, in-situ experiments, and laser-ablation ICP-MS. It will be on Tuesday 10th December at 9 am EST in Room 101. Presentation ID: C21B-03.
👋 This goes out to all the @agucryo.bsky.social folks at #AGU24 & interested in how #melt affects #firn and #icecores. ❄️🧊💧 I'll present key results of my #PhD research at @bas.ac.uk & @cambridge-earthsci.bsky.social tomorrow morning, Tuesday 10th at 9:00 am, in Room 101. Just search for C21B-03. 👇
Ready for some fascinating science, including cool #Antarctic stuff from @bas.ac.uk? Then let's get #AGU24 started. 🙌
Excited to be in Washington DC for my first ever #AGU24! It’s been wonderful to catch up with some of my old @bas.ac.uk office mates today exploring the city @andyclelland.bsky.social @heartmeltingice.bsky.social
Looking forward to a great week of science ahead 🌎
I am so glad to find the #AGU24 tribe in this new space! 😍 My talk C21B-03 on Tuesday morning is trying to make sense of melt-affected #firn, and whether it's about #climate, #icecores or #melt, I am always up for a chat. So, please feel free to reach out! 👋
