And on to that other great unknown: @fsmccormack.bsky.social taking us through geothermal heatflux and it's role in basal melting under the #AntarcticIceSheet at #IGSnorthumbria2024

Related: one of the things I love about my fellow scientists is their sense of humour. There are 2 ways to reconstruct the bed of the #AntarcticIceSheet; interpolate between those very sparse observations or use an ice flow model that has surface observations in it and invert to work out how the bed is changing the flow field.
Colleagues in Leeds/Sheffield have blended the 2 approaches and they have called it: "Frankenbed". Because why not? 
Extremely happy that my new paper on the future of #AntarcticIceSheet surface melting is finally published! 
We use a new melt module in our ice-flow model #PISM which in addition to temperature also takes into account the effect of solar radiation & thus the melt–albedo feedback. Check it out! #OpenAccess #OpenScience

What is Objective 4 of OCEAN:ICE?
In this #OCEANICEBreaker we explore objective 4 aiming to quantify #AntarcticIceSheet melt sensitivity to climate forcing and reduce the 'deep uncertainty' in freshwater flux and #SeaLevelRise projections to 2300

More exciting stuff coming up at #EGU23 @EuroGeosciences today:
“Has the (West) Antarctic Ice Sheet already tipped?”
Don’t miss the talk by @RonjaReese, if you get the chance.

I regret not being able to attend #EGU23 @EuroGeosciences myself this year, but feel free to check out @lenanicola’s poster to see what I’ve been working on lately, among other things:

Hello World! Here's my somewhat belated #introduction.
I'm a #climate researcher and ice sheet modeller at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research #PIK_Climate in Germany (www.pik-potsdam.de), where I'm currently pursuing my #PhD on the long-term stability behaviour & #TippingPoints of the #AntarcticIceSheet and its implications for future #SeaLevelRise.
I prefer the real world over the virtual one, but use the latter to inform myself (and sometimes others).
