...since starting @ClimateMigration yesterday, the vast majority of Followers are from outside the US. Understand this is not a fun subject, but the disparity in attention to this topic is pretty striking.
It's that time of year when we expect the melt season to start on the #Greenland ice sheet.
Checked the #PolarPortal today, it's not started yet.
Plots below are daily melt (red), daily surface mass budget (pink shows ices loss, blue is gain). And difference between today and average season. Red is less ice than usual, blue is more.
Overall it's going into the ice melt season a little below average, but southern Greenland looks quite vulnerable to a high melt year
So, it is possible for a group to make the collective decision to leave Twitter. Scientists "suffering insults and mass-spam are abandoning Twitter," and setting up shop on Mastodon.
"Glaciologist @Ruth_Mottram had more than 10,000 followers on Twitter but left in February and joined an alternative scientists' forum powered by Mastodon."
Slightly overwhelmed by number of new followers today. Hello everyone!
I'm mainly using account like I did on the birdsite: sharing things I think are fun + interesting, talking about my #science, #ClimateChange, #IceSheets + future #SeaLevelRise, plus #FOSS + #OpenScience
