#agu2025 U42A Building safe, supportive, and effective field research teams happening now in E-2!

(First floor to the left of poster pick up near escalators)

The cryosphere is for all session at AGU 2025 starting at 4:15 in rm 211-213

Looking for examples of important national parks research that's been paused during the shutdown — especially long-term monitoring or projects with big stakes that now must contend w data gaps. Any ideas/examples? 🌲⛰️🐟

Screenshot of at least 20 slides on Climate Change: Key facts from Climate Central.

📣 We just released a new free resource at @climatecentral.org - a 72-slide deck introducing key facts about climate change, including its causes, impacts, and solutions. It also comes with speaker notes and links for local storytelling.

Gatherings for participants of the Antarctic campaigns 2025-26 How many times have we crossed paths with people on the streets of Punta Arenas or Ushuaia, only to discover upon reaching our base, ship, or camp that they were fellow campaign members? Or how often ...

APECS Spain is launching an initiative to help Antarctic researchers (young and senior alike!) connect before and after campaigns.

If you’re passing through Ushuaia or Punta Arenas this summer, fill out this quick form to help organize meetups and spark collaborations:

Hey Cryoverse! 👋

If you need any motivation to call for action on the #AmbitionForMeltingIce at #COP30, check out the Glacier Casualty List. It's a global summary of 'critically endangered' & 'disappeared' glaciers and their stories.

It's really happening. 🧊💧

Hey ice sheet types! 👋

The memes about the insane number of starter packs on this thing motivated me to create one more.

Please let me know who I am missing from the ice sheet world. 👇

You can’t adapt to what you refuse to measure. Cutting data is not an adaptation strategy; it’s denial

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

Even if this doesn't all happen exactly this way, parts of these directives are ruled illegal, the agency is rebuilt some years from now, etc. the damage that has been done (and is being done every day) will be felt for decades.

This after PGC funding was cut from NSF and NASA. This is a horrible cut to scientific infrastructure and critical services

Ask Your Legislators to Sign on to Letters in Support of NSF and NASA Use this opportunity to stop federal science cuts

Hey frens! @agu.org has these great template letters you can send your representaives to ask them to support funding to NSF and NASA. Make sure to quickly personalize it with your name! agu.quorum.us/campaign/121...

Exclusive: NSF faces radical shake-up as officials abolish its 37 divisions Changes seen as a response to presidential directives on what research to fund

Everyone needs to understand that dismantling NSF will have devastating long term consequences in our competitiveness and innovation in science, technology and beyond. 1/

We applaud our amazing science community (and supporters) for taking it to the streets to stand up for science! ✊

N.S.F. Cuts Raise Fears of a Reduced U.S. Presence in Polar Regions The National Science Foundation has fired workers at the office that manages polar research, raising fears about a reduced U.S. presence in two strategic regions.

Why does science need government funding?

What are the impacts to the US of cutting polar science?
