Last Notes npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram There is an older japanese man who regularaly spams a list of climate scientists criticising our latest works. It's actually quite useful, like a sort of journal alert. Today's effort was an old paper but a good one, so I thought I'd post it here. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Re last post it might seem extremely arcane if the exponent in the ice flow law is 3 or 4 but now the 3rd speaker at #IGSnortumbria2024 is pointing out that the small change in one number can lead to 30% higher ice loss from marine terminating glaciers like Thwaites and Pine Island. Details matter npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram We tend to think we know a lot about ice. And this is true, but Ching Yao Lai from Stanford has a great slide summarising all the stuff that makes the rheology of ice and how it flows difficult to measure. #IGSnorthumbria2024 npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram The sheer chaos of a UK airport - I'm shocked every time. Possibly I've been living in Scandinavia too long... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1nh2…jhqm merci🙏 npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Turn out extremely low in the 3 results declared so far - low 50s, also not a good sign for a democracy... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram The Danish public broadcaster describes the UK as a country almost in free fall. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram If that exit poll holds, I will be more miserable over the rise of Reform than joyful over the demise of the Tories. But 2 for the Greens would be a good historic result... #UKElection npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram "Market Forces cannot halt climate change". npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Saturday morning at the hairdresser is a luxury opportunity to sit drinking coffee and catching up on some reading. Here's an incredible statistic I just read, especially for those who think there is nothing left to explore: npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram I have a feeling I'm going to regret asking this, but it is prompted by a question from a student: is there an ethical #LLM? As in not one running on dirty energy and not stealing other people's work? npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1qpl…2g9n It's an absolute beauty! The whole composition but also the colours, with an ominous looking cloud overhead! npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1uvz…xuud I suspect that like many ESA projects it's now maintained mostly by goodwill after funding ran out, but I don't actually know. And yes, would be great to see it open sourced and maintained! npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Protect, Accommodate, Retreat: The stages of adaptation to #SeaLevelRise. One of the problems is lack of data from tide gauges in many parts of the world.. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1nmj…wrda Always on the 23rd - sankt Hans (Saint John) npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1uvz…xuud I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I don't have the impression the user numbers are very high, which is a pity.. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Context for non-danish residents: npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram The Andy Warhol edition of the same image? 😜 npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1w6q…xk7c yes I agree, Fahrenheit 451 is a stroke of genius as a title npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram The latest book updates on my list: Ray Bradbury's classic and haunting Fahrenheit 451 and the End of Everything by @npub1cdd…50ku npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Another great day at the @npub1ndz…mahw bootcamp, sad we will be going home tomorrow, we have one more morning to share the results of the week's research and to make plans for the rest of the projects. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram I always forget about the @npub1vw4…6gpu #climate data store's pulse application, but I was reminded again this morning of it's existence: for my money the best visualisation tool of the current state of the climate we have, check it out. here: npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1964…968j I accidentally made a mean of a binary (0,1) field - Antarctic melt! npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram When you mess up your code processing #Antarctic melt area data but somehow manage to make the Ukrainian flag?!🤔 😀 npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1fvn…sghp the WiFi is partly working on 5G too. And the data is all over the place in different computing centres in Europe. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub156a…tv89 they're so sweet! I guess you're not actually keeping them all then though? npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub156a…tv89 unbelievably cute! But how on earth did you end up with so many? npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram The kind of Saturday afternoon I want to spend in front of the fire in the local pub playing a board game and watching the rain slatting down outside. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1sp7…vnwc the main problem, as information say os that he has very successfully dragged them far to the right of where they were. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub180d…gk44 wauw! Tak for tippet, Jes elsker design .useet! npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Have tucked 11 year old into bed twice now, and just noticed bed side light on again under the door frame. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram The thing with the poor summer we're having in Denmark so far is, that at least I don't feel bad about spending long summer evenings in the library... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram På tur med en klimaforsker npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1dxa…dlg5 Hah. You can't fool me. Brittany sounds far too much like Britain to have good weather 😜 npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Planning a staycation in Copenhagen for a holiday this July - but with the weather we've had this year it feels a bit risky - I really like to load up on hot weather in the summer to get me through the long winter - perhaps there'll be a last minute train ride to France after all... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1vw4…6gpu Congratulations! npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1nr8…0w0z it sounds idyllic! But what about family life? npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1hpc…hjn3 I'm not sure really. In this case there was definitely some peer pressure to fly, so it definitely requires a group endeavour to make this decision. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram And of course there are many business/diplomatic travellers with far higher carbon imprints. But then 90% of the world has never been on an aeroplane in their lives. And the atmosphere really doesn't care either way. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram It seems paradoxical - I strive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in all areas of my life, except somehow I end up travelling for work by plane fairly regularly, which obliterates anything I can reduce personally. Now you could argue that work travel shouldn't land on my personal carbon tab. And I agree with that, but I still wrestle with my conscience. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Have been grappling a bit with today: a day trip to Geneva by plane to talk sea level rise and Antarctic ice sheet melt. Many very nice comments afterwards and surprisingly high support from the people in the room (primarily directors of national hydromet institutes or their reps) for better, more consistent time series of climate data from #Antarctica, which we desperately need to understand the processes better. Still, I can't help worrying about the CO2 npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1wlj…882v apparently the 3-5 year timeline was more or less only to assist in financial planning and resource allocations npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1jtf…kz5e Actually it was a slightly horrifying realisation, just how clueless they are about even normal climate variability. I don't have investments, but if I did I'd divest from insurance immediately... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram An interesting perspective - the insurance industry have no interest in #SeaLevelRise projections for 2100. It's far too far into the future - as is 2050 to most. - mostly insurers are worried about 2025 - the next 3 to 5 years after that is also interesting as it can help financial planning... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram One of the cool things about the #ISMIP7workshop is the very broad range of participants - we just heard from the #PEERS network helping climate practitioners communicate #SeaLevelRise - now on the the insurers... Scott St George of WTW - an insurance underwriter that supports research into global hazards npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1cfn…e2q8 The world's small glaciers and ice caps actually outpace both the main ice sheets (for now, until they disappear!) npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1cfn…e2q8 yes, from all processes. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram This week I'm attending (online) a hybrid workshop on the #IceSheet contribution to #CMIP7 (#ISMIP7). Co-ordinator Sophie Nowicki shows the photo from our first meeting 10 years ago almost to the day... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1yr3…6cw9 yikes! That's a hair-raising story.... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1aky…4pnw Finland and Sweden appear to be relatively sane as well! npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1sa8…09cs that is *literally* our biggest problem - the inability of opposition parties to work together npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1xsw…hhns Well. Yes. I agree that Left and Green are a bit subjective here. But in pretty much any other country in Europe, that's basically how SF would be identified. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram The left and green block seem to have done well if the #ExitPoll in Denmark's #EP2024 election is to be trusted. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1znz…z3xm I see, but if I wanted to visit for example that wouldn't be possible without a visa or similar? npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1x47…x3zf yes I can completely understand that, we pour so much of ourselves into our work, its hard to say goodbye to it and accept a new phase of life - especially when combined with international move tool npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1x47…x3zf Well congratulations on your retirement from ESA! Though it sounds like you're going to still be keeping busy... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram I have been reminded to vote in the EP elections by the danish government by: email, letter, text message and pdf from the folketing in my eboks. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1wvg…6je6 Yes Shin has been doing some very impressive work in Qaanaaq - they have really embedded disciplines like anthropology into their projects too, which I think is the best way to ensure it is done properly. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub1hjp…el3e Well in this case they haven't go tit yet, and at least the deadline isn't looming -. so they're ahead of most folks who contact me panicked in the last week of preparing a proposal... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram I get quite a lot of emails asking for help ranging from letters of support to requests to discuss ideas. But actually they usually sound like: npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Have just been sent a link to something called Aria (Advanced Research and Integration Agency - a UK research funding body) and my main thoughts based on their website is what on earth is this thing? npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram The hard choices facing the #EU as we go to vote in the #EP2024 elections. The populist right is flourishing and 3 women have an unusually important role to play. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Stunning last day of our much truncated field work on the sea ice today. Still plenty of work on land and glacier though. We'll be going right up to the flight departure to fit as much as we can in... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram I'm always happy to be in #Greenland, but I have a kind of fomo when I see the current heatwave parked over Scandinavia on @npub1jj7…50pj 's weather plots... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Was describing #Linux to a friend and happened to mention most of the internet is built on it, which naturally also led us on to the XZutil moment we had earlier this year. And which he, a well-informed person, had never heard of and was shocked to hear. I guess most people here know about #XZutils attack but I discovered @[email protected] have a very nice summary (in Danish, DeepL works well) which I'm sharing again here for those who don't. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Getting results from #HorizonEurope grant proposals is like getting your A-levels on results day but worse, because you know your job and your colleagues jobs are riding on the outcomes... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram @npub104v…5q8f yes exactly!

I've come in to the office late to prepare for my next fieldwork in a couple of weeks, and thought you'd all like this gif I made from 3 #Sentinel2 satellite images showing one of our study glacier. I put it on my #pixelfed #ice + #Climate account npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram I always tell my students, its important to celebrate our wins, so here is some more good news for a sunny Sunday morning from Hannah Ritchie: " We've probably passed peak (local) pollution" npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram "The birds are coming, look up rejoice". npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram During the great solar storm of 2003, I sat outside in my back garden watching the #aurora. I missed it yesterday but sat out again this evening in the hope of repeating the experience. Sadly no #Nordlys in Copenhagen but I can report the garden has a wonderful scent and is so peaceful at this time of year, which was basically just as good... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Apropos #Croatia and the brain drain, I was happy to hear that the Croatian met service are now also part of the #HCLIM consortium along with the Nordic countries, Ireland, Spain, NL + Hungary.. npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Ok, you're no longer allowed to mention cuckoo clocks in relation to Switzerland... npub1mltmz29mky3zsulv5qtvzsgl5uph5tfmw8wqhaekfqxm2nf6v8psdy6fdn Ruth Mottram Strikes me that this year #MGP24 is much less samey than in previous years.
