Today we’re launching an upgraded version of the @PROVIDE4CLIMATE Climate Risk Dashboard! 🎉
We've expanded the tool beyond the country level and now you can see how different levels of climate action will impact cities and marine environments.

#COP28 response:
Despite weeks of effort and a public call to action from >1000 scientists, there remains only 1 direct ref to #Cryosphere in new GST text, with no connection to urgency, implications of intensifying changes observed today or their long-term impacts
(1/n)
Received shocking news from @uniinnsbruck during(!) my Antarctic expedition: Despite having secured funding, I'm barred from working at the university soon. Heartless timing, and it jeopardizes scientific career. No lab access = no sample processing or publishing.
Plz RT this 🧵
On top of this, back home in Austria, I'm fighting another storm: the uncertainty of young researchers' job security. Unsure if I can even analyze my own Antarctic samples. No word since weeks from @uniinnsbruck. Feels like being left out in the cold. ❄️💔 #notfun@AustrianPolar
Tomorrow, 1 pm local time (8 December), @FabClimate @GeogBristol will be a panelist at the #COP28 side event "Why Overshoot Pathways Will Leave the Cryosphere Behind" showcasing research on policy-relevant climate overshoot scenarios.

Every increase in temperature matters when it comes to saving our glaciers and reducing the resulting impacts with sea-level rise, water resources, tourism, culture, and more. Our actions as a global society can thus make a huge difference: thesciencebreaker.org/breaks…
I'm back on this hellish platform to share something important: the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) version 7.0 is released!
Find out more on our new user guide glims.org/rgi_user_guide
and in the thread below 🧵
We had many sponsors, but also countless hours or unpaid, voluntary work going in this release. If you can, consider contributing some of your time to make the next release of RGI even better: glims.org/rgi_user_guide/app…
RGI 7.0 is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Graham Cogley (1948-2018). I met him when I was a post-doc, and thanks to him I became passionate about the RGI and the importance of collaborative work for a better world.
#Train2EGU with a view! Mixed feelings of excitement and sadness this time:
Last time with Innsbruck as departure city! Next year will be a looutreachnger trip 😉
Last tweet on this platform for a while (ever?). I hate what it became and I will try other things for #SciComm...

#Programming#Teachers in the room! I do open book exams for my programming classes (googling allowed), and I'm keen on allowing #ChatGPT as well for my *advanced* class exam, but I want to forbid its use for my beginner class (reasons below). What are your thoughts on this?
Why I don't think I can allow it for beginner exams: beginner exams are typically questions that ChatGPT answers out-of-the-box. E.g. "filter that list according to this criteria", "write a function for the Taylor..." etc. I just cant think of a question that cannot be answered
