Greetings from Svalbard! Our PhD-student, Anna Puggaard, is taking a course in Glaciology at @UNISvalbard! Svalbard is home to some of the world’s most glaciated areas and is an amazing natural outdoor laboratory for climate scientists

As an example, here you can see how far the modelling and observation of firn has come in the last half century. Scientists are now using everything they can from augers to satellites to complex computer models to unravel how firn interacts with the global climate system 🤩

@CopernicusEU #Sentinel3 is a great tool for monitoring changes across Earth's surface. Come check out our poster and chat with @bjsimonsen about the new land ice thematic products for #Greenland during Session C31C on Wednesday between 8:30 and 12:50 #AGU23

How can we strengthen the collaboration between ongoing and future @esa and @EC_Commission polar-focused projects? ❄️🧊 That’s one of the important topics we are discussing these days in Frascati, Italy.
Very interesting point: ChatGPT use shows that the grant-application system is broken nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Corner reflectors are important for altimetry as they provide a precise target.
We mounted this one at 132cm above the Greenland ice sheet. The airborne laser recorded 135cm and the airborne radar recorded 134cm.
Nice work Inès Otosaka and @DTUcryo !

We need to open the black box...
Imagine if Newton had had a generative AI. Would it have helped him come up with the laws of motion🪐 and calculus📈?
Today, researchers are abandoning theory in science and jumping to AI-generated answers.
Are we giving up on theory in science?

What impact has leaving the EU had on UK polar science ? I think you could not conceive a simpler and more effective way to damage it. We have to recognise this before we can fix it. Starting by rejoining @CopernicusEU to save our space sector

🚨Fortuitous new paper drop right in the middle of #EGU23! In it @bjsimonsen, @anja_ruti and I look at a new way of observing density and roughness across Greenland using @esa_cryosat and #SARAL. Big thanks to @ProtectSlr @VILLUMFONDEN and #GEUS

Great to be supporting a amazing mission…
🛩️❄️ #CryoSat birthday party 🛩️❄️ a fantastic gift this winter was the Antarctic campaign where Isobel Lawrence, @bjsimonsen & co. delivered the first ever CRYO2ICE underflight! Lots of fantastic work done on the ice by @AndyShep_CPOM & co. too.

Looking forward to work on this exciting project.
We are excited to be part of the ESA CRISTALair consortium to support the development of CRISTAL airborne demonstrator for future CRISTAL Cal/Val efforts. Project KO yesterday. @isardSAT, #MetaSensing

We are hiring 3 faculty posts up to full Professor! If you're a polar scientist who would like to work in a thriving and friendly research environment and help teach the next Jony Ive, Victoria Pendleton, or Chris Whitty, then we'd love to hear from you! tinyurl.com/yju7x5w8

Want to find out (or relive in my case) what life as a polar scientist is like ? Isobel Lawrence's blog is a fabulous insight @ESA_EO @BAS_News @DefiantNerc
