#introduction - I'm Anya Reading - good to meet/connect!
Working on Antarctica (tectonics, ice sheet change, int. with ocean and atmosphere, inter disc. links). Focus on ground-based geophysics (esp. seismology) and compute. Professor of Geophysics at #UTAS#physics#comp_antarctic group, enabling/advocate for research, learning, #diversity in #stem.
Currently sailing around the Southern Ocean on a fishing boat for @OceanIceEU - it wouldn't necessarily be my choice but Povl Abrahamson is doing it for #Science (deploying some instruments to measure changes in #antarctica and posting some spectacular photos on his #Flickr channel
Signs found of worryingly fast Antarctic ice melt - New Zealand expedition
"The changes to the sea-ice indicate that in the coming decades coastal cities will need to be reconfigured because of sea level rise, Stevens said.
While the effects these changes will cause to ecosystems will impact mammals like penguins, whales and seals, and weather systems would also change around the Southern Ocean."
Reminder: If you work on #Antarctica in Denmark, the annual Danish Antarctic science seminar is on Thursday 7th March at DTU. Today is the last chance to register for lunch - contact DTU-Space for more details!
"#Penguins on #Antarctica may not have much immunity to the disease, since the virus has not been documented on the continent until now. Outbreaks among penguins in South America and Africa show their vulnerability. The birds, which like to waddle together in packed colonies, are not particularly good at social distancing."
