The paper is out in GRL! doi.org/10.1029/2025...
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...
FELLOWSHIP! Weβre proud to announce the launch of the Climate Science Serving America fellowship, open to early- and mid-career scientists & engineers who work on climate solutions.
Full salary, benefits, and a research stipend. Remote anywhere in the United States.

John Bright Ayabilah's first paper is now published in The Cryosphere

The changing mass of the Antarctic Ice Sheet during ENSO-dominated periods in the GRACE era (2002β2022)
He looks at various sub-periods during which El Nino or La Nina dominate 2/2
Great opportunity for grad students and postdocs interested in sea level science β WHOI Summer School, May 17-30
Figure 1 from the paper.
3/ We analyzed 18 major Antarctic ice drainage basins using the ice-sheet model #PISM, gradually increasing global mean temperature to map their long-term response.
Result: different regions respond very differently to warming.
In general, I think scientists should spend more (any?) time thinking about **why** they do their science, as it would cause them to think more critically about the means **by which** they do it.
His premise is that if astronomy is more and more data science (it is) and if current AI are getting to human-equivalent level at data science (maybe, depends on who you ask), we gotta first discuss WHY people study the stars to then have a good conversation about what to do.
New postdoc opportunities in my group at Rutgers-New Brunswick, working on sea-level rise projections and/or coastal climate risk assessment & management
Our neighbors in Minnesota are standing up for the rest of us. Let's stand up with them.
We knew the NSF letter about NCAR would come. I think this is an occasion that will require great coordination and strategical thinking. UCAR should respond as a block, coordinating a response across universities (especially in the South, and large public universities that use NCAR data a lot)
They refer to the section of the national climate assessment i led as βstomach churningβ and Iβm proud to have caused physical discomfort
An open letter organized by US-based researchers working in Greenland opposes any takeover of the territory

New year, new paper out in JGR:Oceans! Led by PhD Candidate Madeline Mamer - she updates a 40-year old theory for the rate of iceberg erosion by waves, to include the effect of local ocean stratification by meltwater βοΈπ₯Όπ§π doi.org/10.1029/2025...
Know an undergraduate looking for an opportunity to get paid to do cryospheric or other geoscience research this summer? Let them know about the GT EAS Broadening Participation REU here in Atlanta. Now accepting applications through ETAP! easreu.eas.gatech.edu
It was an odd choice to pave this section south to north, as the new-build bridges were all on the southern side. The northern half this segment without bridges likely could have been delivered much earlier.
It was a pleasure to be able to share my research this year at #AGU2025 @agu.org @agucryo.bsky.social
Awesome turnout in support of @ncar-ucar.bsky.social at #AGU25. Take a look at how many people use our products!
It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

Friends old and new from the GT Ice & Climate Group at #AGU25
The (spice) melange must flow (in models)!
Tuesday morning! Aminat Ambelorun ties calving to local sea level and finds a new positive feedback on ice sheet retreat agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/me...
And finishing up on Friday morning: Donglai Yang combines data and models to tell the story of Helheim glacier since 1998 and why it may be on the precipice of big changes agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/me...
On Friday morning: Angelo Tarzona will unlock the history of radar sounding on the Ross Ice Shelf and why institutions should digitize and release all their old dissertations agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/me...
Also that morning: REU and FSU undergrad Jacob Scalabrin knits together archival radar measurements from Ross Ice Shelf using PINNs agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/me...
Thursday morning: GT REU and Tufts undergrad Juliet Baker connects iceberg calving to melange variability through a new feedback framework agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/me...
