Very honored to have a piece on my work published as a feature in the @MIT News magazine @techreview. Thanks to @MITglaciology and @JuneauIcefield for great photos and sources of inspiration. technologyreview.com/2022/08…

Grad student Joanna Millstein is tackling big questions about glacier dynamics that will help us understand how the changing—and in some cases disappearing—ice sheets will affect the planet.

Great spotlight by @AGU_Eos on our new paper! "The first analysis of extreme calving events in Antarctica finds no correlation with climate change, highlighting the significance of common, smaller calving events for ice loss and instability" eos.org/research-spotlights/…

Massive Antarctic Icebergs May Calve at Random - Eos

The first analysis of extreme calving events in Antarctica finds no correlation with climate change, highlighting the significance of common, smaller calving events for ice loss and instability.

We've got a new paper in GRL!!! Extreme value theory shows that extreme calving events have not increased in size over the last half century: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.… with @jdmillstein @kaserafin

New (open access) study out from @mathieu_ice and colleagues in @ScienceAdvances finding no plausible scenarios under which runaway ice cliff failure occurs at @ThwaitesGlacier in the next 50 years science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet may not be vulnerable to marine ice cliff instability during the 21st...

The most extreme projections of ice loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet are less likely than previously thought.

(1/3) New paper out! We look into the opposite of snow drought - what we're calling snow deluge. We found that California's 2023 snow deluge was a roughly ~1 in 54 year event, and broke records at 42% of monitoring sites. AP summary: apnews.com/article/snow-delu…

Study says California's 2023 snowy rescue from megadrought was a freak event. Don't get used to it

A new study finds that last year’s snow deluge in California, which quickly erased a two decade long megadrought, was essentially a once-in-a-lifetime rescue from above.

When I started reporting on climate change, the prediction was the Arctic could be sea-ice-free in summer by the 2070s. Now? By the 2030s. nytimes.com/2023/06/06/clima…

Arctic Summer Could Be Practically Sea-Ice-Free by the 2030s (Published 2023)

In a new study, scientists found that the climate milestone could come about a decade sooner than anticipated, even if planet-warming emissions are gradually reduced.
