Chris Derksen

And a specific thank you to Ellsworth LeDrew and Barry Goodison, two pillars of the Canadian cryosphere research community, who set me on my path and kept it clear!

This is very nice! A huge thank-you to my colleagues, collaborators, and mentors. Science is a team sport, and I’ve been very fortunate to be part of exceptionally collegial research networks from my days as a student in @envwaterloo, through to my current team @ECCCSciTech.

Metric. Denver. Amazing show!

@DundeeSat Appreciate the support (and the “woo-hoo for Ku” tagline!). Plenty of work ahead to get the mission across the finish line, but on we go!

Woo-hoo for Ku! We're building a new dish system just to handle that band...crafty devils we are!

Very cool venue @eumetsat for my presentation on the Ku-band SAR mission we continue to develop in Canada. Really appreciate the opportunity to connect in person! On to Davos…

Save the date! We have two speakers lined up for our next SINTER seminar on Friday 18 November: M. Durand @hydrogawker C. Derksen @C_Derksen See: #anchor-0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nsidc.org/sinter#anchor-0

Here’s a young @jclandy on sea ice near Eureka… Things seem to have progressed well because his new paper is on the cover of Nature…congrats! nature.com/articles/s4158…

4/4 Required (and disturbing) reading for all polar field scientists. Change needed immediately. nsf.gov/news/news_summ…

3/4 Big thanks to my colleague Lawrence Mudryk for leading the Arctic snow contribution to the 2021 State of the Climate report. ametsoc.org/index.cfm/ams/… Important to note the differences between northern hemisphere and Arctic spring snow extent trends…

2/4 Airborne Ku-band radar datasets from multiple campaigns are now clearly described and available with one stop: essd.copernicus.org/articles/14/39…

A few things to catch up on after some weeks away: 1/4 Super work from the snow community to produce this comprehensive new review paper on Ku-band radar remote sensing of snow mass. Invaluable as we continue to develop a Ku-band SAR mission in Canada. tc.copernicus.org/articles/16/35…

@rmcleman @RodCarew_29 “I've got more action than my man, John Woo And I've got mad hits like I was Rod Carew”

Many of my followers may not have heard of @RodCarew_29. But when I was a kid & baseball mattered to me, he was my favourite player. So much so I faked his autograph on my glove. Major League Baseball has lost its way & he’s right to tell the commissioner what’s wrong.

Wish I had stepped up and done this sooner…see you in 2 months!

Have you ever wondered what it’s like at the Eureka Weather Station on Ellesmere Island in #Nunavut? Join @Min_Northern on a virtual tour with the staff and scientists and learn more about #climatechange in the North. bit.ly/3Qlr76m

New post-doc opportunity: How will climate change influence mobility within and through the Canadian Arctic? Work with northern communities to develop informed adaption options alongside @Sharmalab, @jackie_dawson, @riwoolway myself, and other good folks!

The #Arctic is warming three times faster than the rest of the world. At the request of a consortium led by @ArcticNet, the Council of Canadian Academies has formed an expert panel to identify key issues facing the #north. #environment @cca_reports environmentjournal.ca/the-cca-forms-…

Pre-print of the AMAP Arctic Climate Change Update: Key Trends and Impacts is now available. amap.no/documents/doc/…

Very fortunate to have 10 days of these views…back home now and time to tackle the inbox…

I was wise enough to convince Dr. Andrey to serve on my PhD supervisory committee back in the day. A ferocious editor with boundless and contagious positive scholarly energy. And a mentor to so many. Congratulations!

What strange place is this? 806 day interlude…
