I presented two of my on-going projects; one from my PhD research on irreversible grounding line retreat in #WestAntarctica#EDI in Glaciology. Stay tuned for the respective publications!🤫🙌🏼

It's already known from previous studies, but perhaps a repeat is needed: Even without any further (or only limited additional) warming, there's a serious chance that we are already committed to a long-term collapse of #WestAntarctica and a devastating multi-meter rise in global sea levels. 1/2

Our results highlight the dominant role of the ocean in driving Antarctic mass loss in the coming decades, leading to a substantial retreat in West Antarctica even with limited warming.

Already at today’s 1.2°C global warming, we cannot rule out that the ice sheets of #Greenland#WestAntarctica#SeaLevelRise#Permafrost become subject to abrupt thaw.
