Iceberg breaks off in Antartica
🧊 The iceberg is around 600 square miles, or 1550 square kilometers. Researchers at the data center say the low sea ice has been due in part to a large band of warmer-than-normal air temperatures, which climbed to 2 degrees Celsius above average over the Ross Sea in November and December. Strong winds have also hastened the sea ice decline, they reported.
🧊 Satellite data that stretches back to 1978 shows that the region was still producing record-high sea ice extent as recently as 2014 and 2015. Then it suddenly plunged in 2016 and has stayed lower than average since.
Sentinel Hub: CryoHackathon 2023
❄️ The overall aim of this event is for all participants to have fun across an exciting weekend, collaborating together on exciting projects linked to the cryosphere, in a nice, inclusive and respectful atmosphere! No coding experience is required!
EGU Education Fellowship 2023
The ideal applicant must have experience teaching geoscience at the university level and conducting geoscience outreach, along with excellent communication skills and enthusiasm for the creative use of social media channels to disseminate geoscience educational developments, innovations, and opportunities.
The EGU Education Fellow will receive a financial compensation of 2.500 €
⚠ Deadline: 10 February

Call: Copernicus Marine User Engagement
🌊 The objective of the call is to develop pilot exemplary use cases of marine coastal downscaling monitoring activities that support the implementation of EU environmental directives at national level.
🌊 It also aims at identifying gaps and bottlenecks to be overcome for the construction of a future seamless Copernicus coastal marine monitoring service from the open ocean to the coast.
📆 Deadline: March 3
More info: Copernicus Marine User Engagement call is open.
