Sometimes the word 'epic' is overused, but....

Here we present 20 years of data at ~weekly intervals, collected by hand by hardy souls who braved the Antarctic winters. Unique and priceless data!

My first job out of undergrad where I was part of a long-term data collection for 2.5 years. Beyond the amazing experience, this appointment helped me decide that graduate school was for me. Very grateful to have been included!

Asked recently 'what is one of your greatest recent accomplishments' well here it is rdcu.be/dbO1F three years of my life into the 2 decades of sustained year round oceanographic measurements on the Antarctic Peninsula has been published terrisouster.com/videos/

Amazing to see our paper published and fully open access for the world to see! Thanks to the illustrious Kate Hendry for excellent leadership and the rest of the star-studded team for all contributions to the flotilla!

It's radar time!

Last week we came across a non native, drifting bull kelp (Durvillea) in Ryder Bay British Antarctic Survey 🐧 Rafts can transport other non native species to the continent. We found open water goose barnacles (Lepas australis). These are not a threat but harmful invaders can also hitch a ride

#Weather week: this Automated Weather Station (AWS) set up on Anchorage Island, #antarctica measures temperature + humidity of air + soil, PAR and wind speeds.
Gathers data for terrestrial experiments in the area.
Needs calibrating (⬇️fancy barometer) and check over once a year.

25 years ongoing oceanographic data set in coastal waters of the WAP - thanks to the dedication of endless research assistants at Rothera.

Here, help yourselves to these #PolarPride logos (designed by Antonarctica) to decorate your profiles, desktops, banners, cakes, etc!
Tomorrow is #PolarPride Day!!

Celebrating #PolarPride . Diversity and different perspectives form the basis of science and research. Let's celebrate it among the community, not suppress it.

Record-low sea ice cover in Antarctica at the moment, following a record minimum extent this year.

I'll be presenting this on Tuesday at the #COP27 Cryosphere Pavilion!

Details to follow...
