Featuring the coveted UNSW-1 14C date - the first officially published #radiocarbon date from the CHRONOS 14Carbon Cycle Facility!
So happy to share this fantastic work led by @panarrama on the finding and revised #radiocarbon dating of volcanic ash #cryptotephra from Mount Hudson all the way over in the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) - fantastic dedication to get this paper published! @SAERI_FI @UNSWScience

Super excited to share my first paper, reporting a #cryptotephra from Mt. Hudson (Patagonia) in a peat bog from the Falkland Islands! Huge thanks to @pgalbert17 @ZoeAmberThomas @UNSWScience @SwanseaTephra authors.elsevier.com/a/1dNNz…

SO excited to finally take delivery of our peat cores from the #FalklandIslands! They have survived a 5 month journey across the oceans. Can't wait to get cracking on my @arc_gov_au DECRA project looking at changing southern westerly winds during the Holocene!

A 360˚ image of a "virtual field trip" into Kosciuszko NP, led by @UNSW climate scientists.🏔 They cross alpine creeks and traverse the snowy mountains to explore the impact of #ClimateChange and the last ice age in Australia. 💻 View: unsw.to/360fieldy

Thank you @DrShaneRRR for having me on your show @einstein_agogo to talk about how ancient #Antarctic ice can hold clues about natural carbon storage processes! If you missed it, you can find the podcast here: rrr.org.au/explore/programs/… @UNSWScience @Intrepid_Sci @IcelabKeele

How's the view from your office? Check out Prof Chris Turney looking down on the Patriot Hills Blue Ice Area, on the edge of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Read more about the research his team is doing there: bit.ly/2SGNVRO @Intrepid_Sci @ZoeAmberThomas @arc_gov_au

Check out our piece in The Conversation on the sensitivity of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet during the Last Interglacial and what this might mean for the future #Antarctica
Scientists discover just how sensitive the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet is to warmer temperatures – which is worrying considering this region is already melting. bit.ly/2SoOl0l

Rising ocean temperatures drove the melting of Antarctic ice sheets and caused extreme sea level rise more than 100,000 years ago, a new international study led by @UNSW shows. Scientists say we’re headed in that direction again. newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/sc…

New article just out! Data from a West Antarctic Blue Ice Area shows early Last Interglacial ice sheet collapse, driven by less than 2°C ocean warming pnas.org/content/early/2020/…

Some real leadership from the UK. The British are the first parliament to recognise a Climate ‘Emergency’ @UNSWScience @UNSW #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #environmentalemergency
“MPs have passed a motion making the UK parliament the first in the world to declare an “environment and climate emergency”. Historic and very hopeful news. Now other nations must follow. And words must turn into immediate action. #ClimateBreakdown independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…
Explore historic droughts with the Australian-New Zealand Drought Atlas (#ANZDA) now online on Climate Explorer @KNMI. Under 'Field', chose 'Monthly and seasonal historical reconstructions': climexp.knmi.nl/selectfield_… Thanks @gjvoldenborgh! #drought @cabahCoE @arc_gov_au @IOPscience

A handy summary of the most talked-about climate science studies of 2018! #1 is from the Potsdam Institute, but also two more in the top 25, including our Nature paper demonstrating an observed slowdown of the Gulf Stream System. carbonbrief.org/analysis-cli…
