The missles in this video cost more than that.
what the fuck
and that grounding zones vary on kilometer scales. And that if we were to try to use the beam bending equations to infer local ice thickness in the grounding zone, we need to understand that the local effective Young's modulus varies and tells us something about how the ice-bed-ocean system acts.
...that everything overlaps in a single observable. The twelve to twenty four hourly tidal flexure.
happy Saturday! My first piece of academic work is out. What can tidal flexure tell us about ice in grounding zones? www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country.

of all the things i don't want a grad rat is one of them
A year ago today, 168 of my NSF colleagues were fired suddenly & illegally. Half got their jobs back after an intense legal fight, but none of this is over for our small/mighty agency. Even while there are so many things happening everywhere all at once & it’s exhausting, I’m glad to keep pushing.
The Colorado River situation is a big f*ing deal, more than most people outside the West realize.

incredible what twelve hours instruction in the language closest to yours will get you
i’d much rather be looking for bands of fracture with icesat-2 than looking for dark matter.
We're one year in. The speed, scope and severity of what's happening to American science is beyond anything we've seen before. The reliability of the Federal science and technology enterprise and the people within it, has been shattered. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Detached beach ridge at the inactive margin of a small fan delta - the active braided part is on far side. An older dissected delta segment in the background. Large ice polygons across the delta surface. Ellesmere Island. About 600-800 m wide.

Fuck ICE
Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.
Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.
Another reason for Medicare for All.

Attendance at US-based science conferences is bouncing around this year but generally down. #AGU25 has ~10k fewer this year! I explored these trends for @nature.com — including solutions to keep conferences local & productive:

L’avenir de l’Antarctique au-delà de 2100 inquiète : des émissions élevées entraîneront une perte de glace majeure à long terme. Une étude publiée dans Nature Communications avertit que le destin de la calotte glaciaire antarctique, jouera un rôle décisif dans l’élévation future du niveau de la mer.
Antarctica’s future beyond 2100: high emissions drive major long-term ice loss. New study in Nature Communications by Vio Coulon and Ann Kristin Klose, showing that the fate of the Antarctic ice sheet, will play a decisive role in future sea level rise.
