- Reposted by Lena NicolaHave you heard of #AntarcticaInSync? A UNESCO-endorsed program for coordinated science in Antarctica & the Southern Ocean (www.antarctica-insync.org). We - APECS - aim to represent us early career scientists in the project 🙌🏼. You can find all FAQs on our new website: apecs-germany.de/antarctica-i...

- 🧊 New study in The Cryosphere! We identify oceanic gateways that could channel warm water to Antarctic grounding lines, based on high-res bathymetry. These deep pathways could drive major ice-shelf melt when cavities switch from ‘cold’ to ‘warm’ melt conditions. 📄 doi.org/10.5194/tc-1...

- 📣 New paper: Where do we want the glaciological community to be in 2073? Some context: The Karthaus summer school is an occasion where parts of our research community comes together — In 2023, I was lucky to participate myself and it was the year in which a new workshop was included in the program.

- Reposted by Lena Nicola🚨 New paper alert! 🧪 🔥 How would heat extremes in Europe evolve under long-term net-zero emissions? Find out in our ERL article, co-written with @andrewkingclimate.bsky.social and Tilo Tiehn iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... Here’s a quick summary (1/n) 🧵
- 🌡️ Europe’s #heat extremes won’t stop, even at net-zero. Each year of delay locks in hotter and more frequent extremes for centuries. Mediterranean heatwaves could even be 30x more likely if the Paris Agreement is reached ten years late. 🧪 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... @edualastrue.bsky.social

- All set for the #Train2EGU! Next week I will attend #EGU25 and present some work in progress of my PhD project 🙌🏼 Let’s talk about how we could study the impacts of heatwaves on Antarctic ice dynamics at my poster 🔥🧊 👉 Tues, 29.4, 14:00, Hall X4, X4.20 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/EGU25-...
- 🎙️🇩🇪🌊👩🔬 Kennt ihr schon den #Wellenbrecher Podcast von @ecop-dach.bsky.social? Ich habe gerade mit einer anderen von APECS Germany eine Folge mit Eva + Anabel aufgenommen! Stay tuned für unsere Unterhaltung über deutsche Polarforschung, die UN Ozeandekade und mehr! ➡️ open.spotify.com/show/3riN8pq...
- As part of APECS Germany and the DGP board, I here and there help to highlight on-going activities (among others: financially supporting polar ECRs et al with small grants to help realise outreach projects, research stays, conference participations and more!) More info: polarforschung.de

[Not loaded yet] - Perks of attending the #AARC conference in Hobart: visiting the Australian icebreaker Nuyina after the poster session 🚢🧊🌊
- I’m almost there yet with my initial model state with #ISSM but oh my, how time flies! Its now half time of my research stay at Monash Uni! 🐨🇦🇺🧊🇦🇶 Visiting my supervisor and her colleagues incl. @fsmccormack.bsky.social has been already an amazing experience and I am very glad for this opportunity!
- Beautiful location, interesting and inspiring talks & networking with other #polarresearchers from Austria and Germany: during the last five days, I attended the 29. International Polar Conference that took place in Rauris, in the Austrian Alps! 🏔️❄️
