What questions do you have ❓ What do you wish someone had told you before your first field season❓
You can read a summary of our previous event by @erikloebel.bsky.social, @luisavonalbedyll.bsky.social, @reymourot.bsky.social & @lenanicola.bsky.social
at polf.copernicus.org/articles/90/...
But before we finalize anything, we want to hear from our community! ☎️
We’re thinking about covering different topics everything from getting into fieldwork and securing funding, navigating the human side of fieldwork, and doing strong science in challenging environments. 🏕️

BIG NEWS! 📢
We are planning a new Polar & alpine fieldwork seminar series ❄️🏔️
Our last “Let’s talk fieldwork”-webinar is more than 5 years ago and we think it’s about time to cover this important aspect of polar and alpine science again in one or more online seminars!

Time series of monthly Northern Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature anomalies from 1850 to August 2025 alongside multi-model expectations of the warming in this area (scenario SSP2-4.5).
The Northern Pacific Ocean is currently smashing temperature records.
And it is reaching these levels far earlier than the current generation of climate models had expected.
A short thread 🧵
