A23a has finally escaped the vortex! πŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸŒ€

The biggest iceberg in the world is on the move again after a casual half-year sabbatical spent spinning in circles.

Our @magic.bas.ac.uk colleagues have illustrated A23's super circuitous 2024 journey via satellite imagery ⬇️

This year was my 2nd #AGU and I am feeling a great sense of achievement talking about my research, now that the project is near completion 😊 Thank you to everyone who stopped by my poster on Monday, and feel free to reach out if you want to talk rifts! πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ά

The recently published State of the Cryosphere 2024 warns of catastrophic global impacts from globally accelerating ice loss. VAW members contributed to Ch. 3 (Mountain Glaciers & Snow). A must-read! πŸŒβ„οΈ

Hello everyone, reintroducing myself here: I study rifts / fractures in Antarctic ice shelves using mostly SAR and machine learning. I also do work with sea ice and polar climatology πŸ›°οΈβ„οΈ

Currently finishing my MSc at UVic in Victoria, Canada.

Hope to see you all at AGU next week! 😎

I submitted an abstract to @theAGU yesterday to present the first set of results from my Masters! I have been looking at the detectability of Antarctic rifts using C- and L-band SAR, and assessing the potential of object-based vs. pixel-based automated detection methods. πŸ›°οΈπŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ά
