Effective immediately, the PGC is no longer accepting new NSF-supported requests due to a lack of renewal funding. Current work is wrapping up. Please contact your NSF program officer if impacted. We’re grateful to have supported your polar research. Read our full statement at www.pgc.umn.edu

New weather station data now released on the GEUS Dataverse: doi.org/10.22008/FK2...

We update this monthly with the newest data from our network of >40 weather stations across the Greenland Ice Sheet.

See thredds.geus.dk for our near-real-time data (station-to-user within 15 minutes)

🔹 Glaciers cover 53% of Svalbard
🔹 Between 1936-2010, mean ice thickness dropped 26 m: 0.35m/year or nearly 8 Gt annually⏳
🔹 By 2100, Svalbard glaciers are predicted to thin 2-4x faster 🚨

Thanks so much for the warm welcome!

Thank you!

There is a map visualisation on promice.org/weather-stat... with locations.

We are going to update this soon as the live data feed currently uses an old production pipeline. We also have our thredds server for near-real-time data from the weather stations (including locations) - thredds.geus.dk

I don’t think I am yet, but would like to be if possible thanks ☺️

Thank you!

- I want to use this platform to re-establish my own connections in the cryosphere research community, and also communicate about what is happening in Greenland 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬
- I would also like to use this platform to trial promoting new and updated PROMICE/GC-Net datasets… so look out for those 👀

- Last year, a couple of us here in Nuuk started a book club for internationals living in Greenland. We pick a book from each of our countries each month 📚
- I am pretty big into women’s football, especially the Women’s Super League in the UK… it’s a pity I got interested after I left the UK! ⚽️

- My primary task is maintaining and developing the data production pipeline for a network of >40 weather stations on the Greenland Ice Sheet 🌨️
- I live and work in Nuuk, the capital city of Greenland. Me and my wife have been living here for 6 years now and we love it 🇬🇱🏳️‍🌈

Penny in Iceland last week. She is taking a selfie on Sólheimajökull, wearing a helmet, sunglasses, and gear for being on a glacier and learning some rescue training. It is very sunny and warm, so smiles all round!

I should probably re-introduce myself here to new and old connections…
- Hi my name is Penny and I am a data scientist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland 🇬🇱 🇩🇰
- I have a Ph.D. in glaciology but have moved away from academia a little with my data scientist role ❄️

The DroneLab@UiO was tasked to make a safe system to demo the concept of measurement in vertical profiles to students. To stay flying in the A1 category (which allows flying close to people), and making the operations super easy, we modified a @djiglobal.bsky.social Neo with a <40g backpack!

Amazing, thanks Mike. These feeds you recommended will help get me started. I really like that your feed can be customised... so I don't have to see people I am not subscribed to or depressing political news.

This is perfect for finding everyone again. Thank you Dan!

My people! 😍❄️

Would you like to develop editorial experience with a 💎 open access, peer-reviewed Earth Science journal? GEUS Bulletin is recruiting editors in Cryosphere, Computational geoscience, Hydrology, Marine geology, Palaeoclimate, palaeoenvironment & Stratigraphy. Read on: geusbulletin.org/index.php/ge...

Giving BlueSky a go as I have felt a bit unconnected from the glaciology/cryosphere research community for some time now. How are others finding it? I want to find my people again!
