Pikialasorsuaq is one of the most biologically rich spring phytoplankton bloom areas in the Arctic ocean known to the Inuit for millennia. Is this polynya reliant to the diminishing 'ice bridge' to the north or will winds keep it open? @uoftphysics

Day 3 of the #scarinstant2023 conference involved some sobering predictions of Antarctic Ice Sheet melt, resultant sea level rise, and a hard discussion about how, as scientists, we can make these data truly useful to people living in the most vulnerable places.

Mt. Rainier, iconic fixture of Seattle's skyline.

Area covered by glacier ice shrunk by 42 percent between 1896 and 2021. Another survey in the fall of 2022 by glaciologist, Mauri Pelto, concluded that the Pyramid and Van Trump had vanished.

Day 2 of #scarinstant2023 conference. Very good talks and panels about solid earth response to the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Major advances made in remote sensing measurements and coupled models, and the very urgent need for more data for better sea level rise prediction. #SCAR #WCRP
