Surprisingly little quantitative knowledge on the role of ocean eddies in climate is available – also when it comes to their changes and impact in a warming

We knew it! Well before others!
@NaturePortfolio @NatureComms Similar observations and (unpublished 😅) conclusion made with @FMassonnet and others in 2015 while observing peppercorns acting as small ballons in gin tonic:

Today we had the chance to welcome the great @HarryZeko . He gave a bright lecture on the past and futur fate of #glaciers worldwide. I learnt that there are more than 200,000 of them (glaciers, not Harries, unfortunately). Cool science ahead with his #ERC Starting Grant!

https://t.co/H8CckYU9VJ The consequences of climate change can be felt everywhere. In a study published in @NatureClimate, we show how Antarctic meteorites are threatened by global warming. Every year, over 5000 meteorites are lost from the surface of the ice sheet. How? [1/7]

Nature Climate Change - Most of the meteorites on the Earth’s surface are found in Antarctica. Here the authors show that ~5,000 meteorites become inaccessible per year as they melt into the...
