#Antartide, le piattaforme di ghiaccio blu si tingono di bianco
Dipende dal #WeatheringCrust, il fenomeno attivo soltanto con particolari condizioni metereologiche, che amplifica l’albedo contrastando la fusione del ghiaccio
Lo studio @cnrisp👇

🚨In this new paper, agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…, we map Antarctic blue ice areas using multi-sensor satellite observations and deep learning. We overcome challenges such as the absence of high-quality training labels and temporary snow patches that cover the ice. [1/5]

Dal numero di Rivista Studio in edicola, intervista a Biagio di Mauro, ricercatore che ha passato due mesi nella stazione italiana in Antartide: con lui abbiamo parlato di cosa sia, oggi, il continente e di cosa può rappresentare per il futuro dell'umanità

🥵 July 2023 is likely to have been the hottest month on record
🇦🇶 While much of Europe, North America and Asia suffered the immediate consequences of these brutal temperatures, extreme events are also hitting hard far away in the icy reaches of Antarctica

ALT A research paper, which was published in the journal Frontiers in Environmental Science, discusses the impact of extreme events on the Antarctic environment including its weather, sea-ice extent, ocean heatwaves, glaciers and ice shelves, and the way extremes can affect marine and land biodiversity. Sea ice around Antarctica is particularly low, for example. The image shows February 2023 monthly mean sea-ice concentration with the 1981–2010 median shown by a red line. ESA (data source: NSIDC)

🚨 Our new paper on the global variability of fallout radionuclides (FRNs) in cryoconite on glaciers is just out! This one has been a long time in the making, but it was a real pleasure to work with a large group of excellent international collaborators.

I've been interviewed by @davide_frigoli for @RivistaStudio. We've been talking about my experience in Antarctica for the @BioGeoAlbedo project, and the global relevance of polar research.
