1️⃣ Like a heartbeat driving one of the largest seasonal cycles on Earth, Antarctic sea ice is central to the global climate system and vital for unique ecosystems.

A group of 7 BAT stakeholders sat around a meeting table, with a wide video conferencing screen in the background with more online attendees

On Thursday, I attended the British Antarctic Territory's annual stakeholder meeting, representing @ukpolarnetwork.bsky.social. It was a great opportunity to think about new collaboration opportunities to promote polar research, and share UK Polar Network's excellent work this year

TL;DR ice shelves melt in weird and wonderful ways, most of which aren't represented in our ocean/ice sheet models (and should be!)

How is Antarctica melting, exactly? Crucial details are beginning to come into focus

The Antarctic ice sheet is nearly twice the area of Australia and holds enough freshwater to raise global sea levels by 58 metres.
