Siberian cave deposits show that the Arctic was permafrost free 8.7 million years ago when the climate was 4.5C warmer with 130 billion tons more C02 in the atmosphere. Nice work @speleoseb.bsky.social

Couldn't be more proud of our little (!) boy Gabe and his GB team mates Dean, Filip, and Jack. European Junior Champions for 4 x 100 medley relay 🥇🏊‍♂️ @teamgbofficial.bsky.social

Thankyou Craig Donlon, Juliette Lambin, Rune Floberghagen and Simonetta Cheli for placing your faith in these wonderful students !

I joined the last leg of the voyage as they sailed to the United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice. We lived and worked together, and I was blown away by their ingenuity, dedication, and collegiality. Ocean science is in safe hands with this team.

This week I had the immense pleasure and privilege to join 50 young researchers on the @esa.int Advanced Ocean Training Course aboard the magnificent tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl

Check out the reception they gave us as the ship arrived in Mahon !

Almost 40% of world’s glaciers already doomed due to climate crisis – study Glacier loss has profound effects worldwide and will soar to 75% on Earth’s heating trajectory, say scientists

Fantastic new study in Science brings together a suite of model predictions

Glacier melting will continue for centuries, even if climate warming stops today

Our mountain landscapes will be unrecognisable if we continue to burn fossil fuels as we are today

Fantastic field week with 100+ First Years in the Lake District! Hills, tills, rocks, land-and soundscapes, and so much more. I fear we used up our 5-year sunshine quota tho 🌞😎

How to build and open a 12 metre antenna in space ! Congratulations @esa.int and the BIOMAS team 👏🛰️🌳

My latest for @eos.org about a global comparison of mass change of mountain glaciers #GlaMBIE, which shows that the ice we lose each year amounts to the water intake of the entire global population in 30 years; with @andyshepherd.bsky.social, @drljv.bsky.social et al

Happy 15th birthday to the @esa.int CryoSat mission 🎂

Now 11.5 years beyond its planned lifetime

A phenomenal feat of space engineering !
