EGU NEWSLETTER - ISSUE 105, SEPTEMBER 2023 ========================================== Climate change clues (and a window of hope?) From the Antarctic Ice Sheet to tree-rings, we can learn plenty about Earth's present and future In a first-of-its kind analysis of the Antarctic ice sheet(https://egu.eu/8R89ND/), researchers Ronja Reese and Emily Hill break down their ice loss study and reveal a small window of hope; while dendrochonrologist Nazimul Islam tells us how tree rings act as one of the finest proxies for studying past climate(https://egu.eu/0L1BC5/), hydrology, archaeology and more. Meanwhile, EGU Policy Manager Chloe Hill dissects the Science Europe publication, Science–Policy in Action: Insights for the Green and Digital Transition(https://egu.eu/3MU0M4/), and its relation to climate change, biodiversity loss and digital technologies. In other news, EGU's Media Survey reveals that despite willingness to speak to the media, journalists say scientists often do not follow through, fearing their science will be misrepresented(https://egu.eu/3NPHE7/). If you are a scientist or researcher yourself, do you agree with this? Feel free to write to us at media@egu.eu(mailto:media@egu.eu) - we look forward to hearing from you!

What is the Green and Digital Transition? And how can research organisations support and promote science-informed policymaking? Check out this month’s GeoPolicy blog(https://egu.eu/3MU0M4/) which dives into the Science Europe publication(https://egu.eu/16CY73/), Science–Policy in Action: Insights for the Green and Digital Transition. Open for review: Fostering transformative change The EGU Biodiversity Task Force invites you to review, discuss, and provide feedback on their recent Geoscience Communication(https://www.geoscience-communication.net/) publication [Fostering transformative change for biodiversity restoration through transdisciplinary research(https://egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2023/egusphere-2023-1730/) on our preprint server EGUsphere(https://www.egusphere.net/) until 10 October, particularly for those working on the science-policy interface. JOURNAL WATCH ------------- “Tracking the volume and mass changes of a glacier in daily time steps allows a nearly instant evaluation of the state of a glacier in a particular year. We introduce the Glacier Loss Day as being the day in the hydrological year on which the mass accumulated during winter is lost, and the glacier loses mass irrecoverably for the rest of the mass balance year."
