H2020-PROTECT

A few comments on our recent paper:
1- The high end is based on the SSP585 scenario which was the only one available until 2300 in CMIP6, but according to the reduced-complexity models used in IPCC-AR6, the SSP370 scenario should also cross the limit beyond which most ice shelves become non-viable.

Really excellent @h2020protect.bsky.social + @oceaniceeu.bsky.social paper by @climateclara.bsky.social + coauthors.

Went to the top of the To Read list this morning. Worth a good dive into.

Beautiful and moving tribute to Saint-Sorlin #glacier in the French Alps, expected to be gone by 2050

PROTECT has made strong efforts to make its science accessible and actionable.

Here’s a great example 👇

An article co-written by PROTECT researchers and science communicators in @france.theconversation.com

#SeaLevelRise is now unavoidable — but we can still shape how much, and how fast

In this new interview, PROTECT scientists explain how improved models are helping to better capture ice sheet behaviour, better understand uncertainties, and support smarter #adaptation planning

Now starting the policy event entitled "The urgency of coastal adaptation and priority action" with CoCliCo, SCORE and PROTECT

Today PROTECT is attending the final meeting of CoCliCo-coastal climate core services project led by @goneri76.bsky.social

Great to see the final results!

@oceaniceeu.bsky.social @crices-h2020.bsky.social @h2020protect.bsky.social

Today @crices-h2020.bsky.social, @polarres.bsky.social, @oceaniceeu.bsky.social and @h2020protect.bsky.social, all 🇪🇺 @ec.europa.eu-funded, present key research findings on the polar regions 🌍❄️.
They’ll also identify critical knowledge gaps to guide future research agendas.
Stay tuned for insights!

Picture at event

🗣️ And we’re off! Opening remarks from Karsten Gödderz of CINEA 🇪🇺 set the stage for a day of vital dialogue on polar change, climate impact & Europe’s future.

Preparing a talk + I'm struck again by this adaptation strategies by Voelz et al., 2024.

I think as ice sheet scientists we are sometimes too caught up in processes. Smart engineers + social scientists FTW
