Large limestone boulder with a weathered surface and an ivy-covered tree on top. A figure wearing a red jacket is standing on the boulder for scale. The boulder is taller than she is.

At last...new paper with Kathryn Adamson, @glaciologytim.bsky.social, Phil Hughes, and Derek Fabel and Delia Gheorgiu at @isotopesuk.bsky.social - thanks, everyone! 36Cl dates from the Irish Midlands, plus some geomorphology to complicate things. doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...

Rain is coming to Antarctica – here’s how it will change the frozen continent In the Antarctic Peninsula, precipitation is increasingly falling as rain rather than snow, with consequences for glaciers, penguins and even scientists.

The UK universities cutting geography have lost their bearings From climate change to geopolitics, the knowledge, skills and insights of geographers have never been more relevant, say five professors

Our new piece out today in Times Higher Education about the threats to Geography in the UK - particularly fieldwork - please do share. It links to a recent snapshot survey on the challenges being faced in UK HE, which highlights the inequities of the challenges, but also fears of what is yet to come

Unfriendly email text that complains a volunteer run website is not updated often enough

When the free, volunteer service run by a stressed out scientist in her spare time doesn’t update as often as you’d like

Anyway, FAQs are pulled from a Wordpress app and are updated regularly. The static page doesn’t update.

As always - there’s no need to be rude. We’re all doing our best here

Palaeoglacier reconstruction and dynamics of Cordillera Vilcanota in the tropical high Peruvian Andes We provide a geomorphological analysis of Cordillera Vilcanota and use morphostratigraphic principles to reconstruct palaeo icefield extent and palaeoglacier readvances, likely during the Antarctic ...

Flow‐pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet indicated by the subglacial lineation record over Norway, Sweden and Finland We present a 25-stage reconstruction of the ice-flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway...

New paper! I took a diversion to Earth and reconstructed the flow evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet.

An oblique view of a glaciated landscape on Mars. A lobate valley glacier extends towards the viewer from a small valley, and terminates in a lobe. Flow-related structures are visible on the surface.

5 days left to apply for a postdoc job with me, working on Martian glaciation!

Relevant for glaciologists, geomorphologists, ice flow modellers, GIS or deep learning folks.

Closes 19th Jan. Queries via email.

A lovely paper published today in final form by @owenking.bsky.social showing how cliffs and ponds on clean ice glaciers accelerate mass loss: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

When we first came across Suyuparina Glacier in the field a couple of years ago its potholed surface and irregular margin caught our eye. Some of it's neighbours looked similarly chewed, some didn't. We've had a closer look at what's going on in this new paper:

Ocean driven retreat of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream following the Last Glacial Maximum - Nature Communications Warm Atlantic Water was a major driver of both initial NEGIS retreat from 21.6 ka BP and the collapse of its ice shelf ~15.2 ka BP. This study demonstrates the key role of ice-ocean interactions in co...

Over the moon that this paper is now out! A lot of work and submitted during maternity leave, but really proud of the final version. Thanks goes to all the co-authors on this.

Will our mountains lose their snow and ice?

And does it matter if they do?
