Fantastic to see the @CommonsEAC has released their report on the UK and the Antarctic environment, featuring evidence from CPOM and colleagues across the Polar Science community. It's vital to protect the polar regions and this report highlights many of the reasons why 👇

Published today🐧 Proud and thankful to have my research contribute to both written and oral evidence included within the Environmental Audit Committee's (House of Commons) new report-See page 64 for my evidence on the importance of ‘inspiring conservation values’ during visits🐧

Iceberg A23a viewed from Sentinel-3 yesterday. Glorious view. Distance to South Georgia is now just over 200km. Notice the armada of growlers and bergy bits leading in front of A23a. The current should turn at the continental shelf, which extends about 50km offshore.

Today's #Sentinel3 image of #iceberg #A23a on its approach to South Georgia. At present, the berg is heading straight for the territory, but we know the water current veers southeast when it encounters the continental shelf, so we expect A23a to make a sharp turn, too.

How many elephant seals can YOU count? A team of researchers are using images from drones in tandem with satellite images from space to count Southern Elephant Seal populations on South Georgia Island. Read more about how they're doing it here 👇 https://t.co/lRUUB88jn4

Very happy to share our pre-print paper "Safeguarding the polar regions from dangerous geoengineering". This field is advancing very fast, funded by big money; here is some scientific objectivity and a serious reality check.

The British Antarctic Territory centre right panel. Wonderful windows
Wonderful to pop into The Speaker’s house in Parliament today, and to see these wonderful stained glass windows that celebrate the UK Overseas Territories.

#DYK strong winds in the #Antarctic contribute to shaping sea ice by influencing its drift and thickness❓ #CopernicusMarine provides #OpenData on winds & #SeaIce, providing insight into how these variables interact, which helps to track ongoing changes in the region 🧊
