Today we celebrate the 1st anniversary of Polar Impact’s quarterly newsletter. This marks a significant milestone for our small student-led volunteer organisation! To create change, you must not only produce something that is new but something that continues. Our highlights:

ROV Icefin sees strong stratification, high heat content, grounding line bedforms, and huge crevasses at the Thwaites grounding zone. From Peter Washam and Britney Schmidt of Cornell Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at #WAISworkshop

Are glacier surges driven by transient basal drag, or should we view them as system outcomes? Our paper in Frontiers - Earth Science argues the enthalpy model can be used to describe the basal conditions wherein shifts in slip regime lead to oscillatory ice flow. doi.org/10.3389/feart.…

Melange backstress might put a halt on Marine Ice Cliff Instablilty. From @crawfisha of StAndrews Glaciology at #WAISworkshop

SCAR is looking to update our educational resources page and we'd like to hear from you! Do you have any books, films, podcasts, documentaries, artwork or other material you would recommend? Submit your suggestions here: ow.ly/ROuW50GdFXd

More about what’s underneath the ice from louise borthwick with International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration at #WAISworkshop—tectonic history provides important information on the character of rock beneath the ice sheet. This has implications for dynamic behavior during expected future retreat!

Two ERC cryo-scientists, Federica Minotti and @WorldOfChecco, decided to create a School of Sustainability for high-school students. They share this beautiful experience in this week EGU Cryosphere @egu-cr.bsky.social blog post! blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/2…

@MisanthropicOf Question Everything 🇵🇸 🇾🇪 🇸🇾 Thwaites Glacier The Thwaites Glacier is rapidly disintegrating in today's updated Sentinel-1 satellite image. ⬇️

Fun to be interviewed by the America Adapts podcast (check out the show if you're into climate adaptation🤓). First time waxing on about how wild the western part of the Thwaites Glacier tongue is to see up close... shorturl.at/gZMgw

We're absolutely delighted that our film, #TheColorOfIce, will be appearing at Nuuk International Film Festival this week! 🤩🙏 #NIFF2024 program: niff.gl Film details: imdb.com/title/tt259405

This is not #Jupiter - swirls and twirls in the thin #SeaIce, most likely the result of whatever the #ocean was up to when the ice consolidated. The more I look at the ice, the less I understand it. #PS144 #Cryosphere #Arctic #PhysicalOceanography

During our last glacier expedition in Ladakh, we found a profound example of how a rapidly retreating glacier and an expanding glacial lake are impacting the way of lives for many. Do read our piece in The Hindu. thehindu.com/opinion/open-p…

Its an exciting week for the ITGC as the team gathers at British Antarctic Survey 🐧 in Cambridge to discuss what we've learned about the mighty Thwaites over the past few years - so a team photo was obligatory!
