Walking in Antarctica. #rossiceshelf

The Ross Ice Shelf is the largest ice shelf in Antarctica. Ninety percent of the floating ice, however, is not visible, and is below the water surface. I made slides! #winter #rossiceshelf #antarctica #dreamtrip #ice #iceshelf #floatingice #peace #love #amazing #waterislife #water #climatechange

[4/5] L'étude suggère que le réchauffement futur augmentera les périodes sans glace de mer, renforçant l'énergie des vagues et la chaleur océanique près des fronts glaciaires, avec des impacts majeurs sur les glaciers similaires au Groenland. #geography #Antarctica #RossIceShelf

[3/5] Le modèle utilisé associe les "pieds" sous-marins et les moments de flexion pour reproduire les déformations observées sur la glace. Il montre que l'érosion des vagues et les petits vêlages jouent un rôle croissant dans l'équilibre des glaces antarctiques. #geography #Antarctica #RossIceShelf

[2/5] Les satellites révèlent une ablation ~20 m/an à l'avant de la Barrière de Ross, dont ~16 m/an dus aux "pieds" de glace. Bien que ces pertes ne représentent que 2% du total, elles pourraient s'accélérer sous l'effet du réchauffement climatique. #geography #Antarctica #RossIceShelf

A rapid shift in ocean currents could imperil the world's largest ice shelf Roughly the size of Spain, the Ross Ice Shelf stabilizes major glaciers along Antarctica’s coast — and is at risk of retreating, a new study finds.

Two scientists in a snow pit, taking samples

And so the sciencing begins at @swais2c.bsky.social - here's micropaleontologist Alex Michaud, with Jason Coenen, taking snow samples. Heated snowmelt will used to thaw a hole through the #RossIceShelf and he needs to know which microbes live in it
