![Opening text of the first codified laws on Denmark, known as the Jyske lov
"With law shall the country be built but if all men were content with what is theirs and let others enjoy the same right, there would be no need for a law. But no law is as good as the truth, but if one wonders what the truth is, then shall the law show the truth. If the land had no law, then he would have the most who could grab the most by force... The law must be honest, just, reasonable and according to the ways of the people. It must meet their needs and speak plainly, so that all men may know and understand, what the law is. It is not to be made in any man's favor, but for the needs of all them who live in the land. No man shall judge contrary to the law, which the king has given and the country chosen. [...] neither shall he [the king] take it back without the will of the people.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5rc6la6vkawo5gsfe2677g5k/bafkreiafg5s5fukcykbzml6dtlcazlv5ci73kxodiqwg3ft7vfhuswhhnm@jpeg)

Daily #acwrimo: not as much writing as I wanted but completed first 1/4 of main paper, got final draft from colleague on 2nd, ok comments back from reviews on 3rd AND 4th & 5th paper a colleague is leading now out as preprint online. 🙌
And we found an obscure bug in the model code 🙄

Finished the first section of the first paper for #fediwrimo, #acwrimo25 , so here, have a nice #fieldphoto to celebrate.
Perhaps I should post one every day when I manage to write something? This one is for @PolarRES

Sunday started at 6.30am with some work, urgent deadlines that can't wait.
But sitting on the sofa under a blanket reading science, drinking tea, listening to sublime classical music on DR with a cat purring away next to me, turns out to be actually really nice.
I should do this more often.

I am immensely amused by husband's gleeful handing out sweets to assorted neighbourhood kids ranging from about 4 to 16 years of age.
Hard to be sure who is having a better time. And isn't that what life is all about?
Happy Halloween

Sidste uge har jeg, efter #endof10 lavede teenageren's laptop om til #linuxmint. Det var en sjov og lærerig rejse. Jeg var meget glad med resultatet. Teenageren var lidt bekymret at det lignede ikke alle andre..

The incredible tragedy for #ArcticScience of NOAA shutting down their #methane monitoring data. 5th May 2025 is the last data we'll ever get.

The ace Sofia Ribeiro on lessons from Holocene climate for the Arctic in the future
We also cited her paper in our recent #greenlandification article because we can learn so much about the coming Antarctic too.

Coming back to this at #nckf25 where my former boss (+IPCC lead author) Jens Hesselbjerg Christensen is looking at #eemian #sealevelrise
Not quite as catastrophic as the MWP1a but still large. I wonder if this has been updated recently at all? […]

2nd day of the #nckf25 symposium and the plenary is all about the #sealevelrise.
This is the downstream part of our job as glaciologists and it's important to understand how the projections will, can and should be used...

🚨 New preprint out🚨 now, why has Antarctica stopped (net) losing mass?
We explore how declining sea ice but mostly increasingly heavy and frequent atmospheric rivers have actually led to a small increase in the mass of #antarctica, in spite of increased […]

This plot on wikipedia was made by @RARohde based on data published in late 90s and early 00s. Wondering if this has been updated or if there is new understanding on any of these palaeo records?

Have picked around 120kg of apples from a single tree (variety is Pigeon - smallish, red, good keepers, often used at Christmas in Denmark), but no way we'll manage to eat them all before they go bad. Your suggestions for recipes with apples?

One of the big successes we had with @OceanIceEU was bringing in our friends at NASC in #Ukraine. Their deployment of floats in Bransfield strait closed one of our big gaps and now we're seeing the data... It's pretty interesting!
