The Polar might is drawing in, the neighbouring nunatak
Ploegen, with the sun almost setting behind it.

“2025 was the third warmest year on record, only marginally (0.01°C) cooler than 2023, and 0.13°C cooler than 2024…
The past 11 years have been the 11 warmest on record.
Global temperatures from the past three years (2023-2025) averaged more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level (1850–1900).”

As USA leaves Climate Treaty, CarbonBrief reminds us that:
“the US has emitted a total of 542bn tonnes of carbon dioxide (GtCO2) since 1850, by burning fossil fuels, cutting down trees and other activities.
This is the largest contribution to the Earth’s warming climate by far”
And much more extreme per capita.
Sentinel-1's decade of essential data over shifting ice sheets
Ice velocity is a key parameter in measuring the effects of #ClimateChange. The speed at which #glaciers and #IceSheets move tells us the rate at which they discharge ice and water into the sea, feeding into estimations on future #SeaLevelRise. Data on ice velocity also help to keep track of the break-up of ice sheets, such as calving events or damage to the ice sheets.
Since its first satellite was launched in 2014, the #Copernicus #Sentinel1 mission has provided a step change in the capabilities of polar satellite Earth observation. Its 12-m-long advanced #SAR instrument works in C-band. This makes it a reliable tool for acquiring high-resolution imagery for continuous monitoring and emergency response efforts. It is able to capture data through cloud cover, smoke and during lack of sunlight.

#ComputationalScience should be open to everyone. At Neuromatch, we run global courses with team activities, TAs, learning pods, and projects…but we also share all the learning materials to everyone.

My lino block print portrait for #PrinterSolstice prompt addition shows the amateur pioneering American scientist, inventor & women's rights advocate Eunice Newton Foote (1819-1888) who did the earliest experiments to show the insulating effect of certain gases & correctly concluded that increasing carbon dioxide levels would affect atmospheric temperature and climate, which we now call the Greenhouse Effect. 🧵

The #DoomsdayGlacier Is Getting Closer and Closer to Irreversible Collapse
An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the #ThwaitesGlacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be only a matter of time.
by Ritsuko Kawai, Dec 22, 2025 9:43 AM
Excerpt: "Known as the ' #Doomsday Glacier,' the Thwaites Glacier in #Antarctica is one of the most rapidly changing glaciers on Earth, and its future evolution is one of the biggest unknowns when it comes to predicting global sea level rise.
"The eastern ice shelf of the Thwaites Glacier is supported at its northern end by a ridge of the ocean floor. However, over the past two decades, cracks in the upper reaches of the glacier have increased rapidly, weakening its structural stability. A new study by the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) presents a detailed record of this gradual collapse process.
"Researchers at the Centre for Earth Observation and Science at the University of Manitoba, Canada, analyzed observational data from 2002 to 2022 to track the formation and propagation of cracks in the ice shelf shear zone. They discovered that as the cracks grew, the connection between the ice shelf and the mid-ocean ridge weakened, accelerating the upstream flow of ice."
