Last chance to register for our Roundtable discussion with some filmmakers tomorrow morning (9am MT)!

Live today! If you’d like to learn about the films from some of the filmmakers join us at the Roundtable on Friday ❄️

Please considering signing!

What is your vision of polar research in the next International Polar Year? Provide your input now to shape the next decade of polar research! PECWS 2025 encourages all polar early career professionals from around the world to provide their input through buff.ly/3Q3AOYV by February 23rd.

Sea ice thickness and volume aren’t just declining in September.December is also experiencing large changes 😞

Surge in ocean heat is a sign climate change is accelerating The rate of warming in the oceans has more than quadrupled since 1985, suggesting global warming in general has undergone a marked acceleration

Great opportunity to learn more about the Arctic Report Card

Happy #DecemberSolstice! 🌞⚒️🧪

Understanding seasons - a look at the hourly incoming solar radiation during the two solstices (23.5°N/S). I've added a red marker for ease of viewing. Dashed line shows the equator

Ah! Good to know, thank you!

I know many of us here at #AGU24 are wild for the NASA calendars - does anyone know when they hand them out??

Where is Yuma’s #AGU24 poster?

Climate stripes for the Arctic (poleward of 60N) 1900 to 2023. Based on data from Berkeley Earth.

With #AGU24 in full swing, a stripy reminder that Arctic is warming rapidly, and there’s no mystery why. #ClimateChange #AGU2024

#Arctic sea ice volume was 54% below the average in this data set for October 2024. The animation shows changes in both sea ice volume (bar) and sea ice thickness (map) in October

Heat map-style graphic showing monthly air temperature rankings in the Arctic at the 925 hPa level for each month from January 1979 to October 2024. There is a long-term warming trend evident in each month. Blue shading is shown for colder months, and red shading is shown for warmer months. A yellow number is shown for each grid box to display the actual temperature ranking. October 2024 was the 3rd warmest October on record.

Four polar stereographic maps showing Arctic sea ice thickness for the month of December in 1983-1992, 1993-2002, 2003-2012, and 2013-2022. Thickness is shown with colors from black at 0 meters to purple at 2.5 meters to white at 5.0 meters. Sea ice in thinning in all regions over time.

AGU social for polar early career researchers | Where? Sierra AB at the SF Marriott Marquis | When? 6-8pm PT Wednesday, December 13, 2023 | What? Join other early career polar researchers for snacks and networking! | Co-hosted by PSECCO, Polar Impact & USAPECS

The social will take place on Wed, December 13 from 6-8pm PT, starting in the Sierra AB room at the SF Marriott Marquis (room courtesy of ARCUS, located right by the Moscone Center) & then will likely move on to another food or drinks place outside of the hotel. See ya there! 2/2

Check out this cool event by IARPC!

Global map showing surface air temperature anomalies for September 2023. Most areas are warmer than average, except for parts of the Antarctic. Red shading is shown for warmer anomalies, and blue shading is shown for colder anomalies.

Reviewing our record-breaking September...

🟥 - warmer than average
🟦 - colder than average

Overall, the average September global air temperature was +1.47°C above 1951-1980 climate baseline (+1.72°C above the 1880-1920 baseline).
