Trends in April #Arctic sea ice thickness over approximately the last four decades. Areas in red correspond to thinning ice... [Simulated data from PIOMAS. For more information: doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-17-0436.1] pic.twitter.com/gQtfq9MwcP

The early online release of our new @ametsoc study is out (#OpenAccess): doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-23-0163.1. This work is a community effort to better assess the predictability of #Arctic sea ice at the September minimum using a range of statistical and dynamical models. More on this later!

Daily monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet is back! Find these two maps on our Ice Sheets Today page: the Greenland daily melt map and the Greenland cumulative melt days map. Analyses about conditions on the Greenland Ice Sheet will return soon as well. nsidc.org/ice-sheets-today pic.twitter.com/Yeq7IsUhFP

🚨New ice dynamics study! 🚨 Ice flow is changing >100 km inland on the Greenland ice sheet, with acceleration of ~10% and mega-crevasses emerging in recent decades. article: www.nature.com/articles/s43247-024-01322-w news: eng.geus.dk/about/news/news-archive/2024/april/no-rest-for-the-ice by Anja Løkkegaard in @CommsEarth pic.twitter.com/7QJw3zJh9C
