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: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

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...

Time to get in apps for the 2026 Juneau Icefield Research Program - students, (research) faculty, staff & medics! juneauicefield.org but feel free to reach out, too. JIRP got me into ice & still shapes who I am as a glaciologist. Apply now / share to be part of the best classroom in the world!

In our Climate Report my coauthors and I say: We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet's vital signs are flashing red. Consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer future threats but are here now. Read report here doi.org/10.1093/bios...

I'm advertising x2 PhDs through this scheme 🛰️ ❄️ 🇦🇶 🇬🇱 "The Role of Landfast Sea Ice in Antarctic Ice Shelf Stability: Integrating Earth Observation with Low-Carbon AI Modelling" "Thawing Greenland, Powering Tomorrow: Dynamic ice sheet hydrology for Sustainable Energy"

It's been an excellent and very exciting week, planning the next IPCC report, meeting my new IPCC co-authors and talking climate science! #IPCC #IPCCAR7 @ipcc.bsky.social

Registration is now open for experts interested in reviewing the first draft of the IPCC Methodology Report on Inventories for Short-lived Climate Forcers! Register here: https://bit.ly/SLCFreg until midnight CET on 13 February 2026. Read more: https://bit.ly/SLCFfod

The IPCC’s First Lead Author Meeting for AR7, is taking place in Paris this week. The French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Mr Jean-Noël Barrot welcomed around 600 authors from more than 100 countries to the Quai d’Orsay on Tuesday evening. bit.ly/4ir09cC

Brief announcement: as a journal editor I totally get that people are busy and fraught and can't do all the paper review requests that we ask them for. But, I really, *really* appreciate it when people suggest alternate reviewers! 🙏

🚨 Interested in the form and variability of the supraglacial hydrological system? @hollywytia.bsky.social et al. explore the controls on channel distribution and characteristics on Swiss Alpine glaciers in a new paper hot off the press at The Cryosphere! ❄️ tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/...

📢 PhD opportunity at Newcastle University! 👉"Reconstructing past ice-sheet retreat and ice-ocean interactions from marine sediment cores". This project will use new marine sediment cores to constrain the timing and drivers of past ice-sheet retreat. More details: iapetus.ac.uk/studentships...

The UK government has again frozen fuel duty but will charge EV owners by the mile. Hard to see this as anything other than an attempt to suppress EV adoption.

Forni Glacier (Alta Valtellina) 2005 | 2023 Once - not so long ago - it was the largest glacier in Italy...! 🧊💪 Now it has split in three parts, as the three tributaries quickly retracted! 😰 Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gv5...

Today is #LGBTQinSTEMDay 🌈 ESA proudly joins the STEM community in celebrating the unique contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals. The Pride Flag will fly across ESA sites as a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how much more there is to do. #SpaceForAll

why can they not just fix it

Our LGBTQ+ STEM Day Celebrations are taking place at @zslofficial.bsky.social and then at Zodiac Bar! Join us! Free tickets: www.outsavvy.com/event/31027/... #PrideInSTEM 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🔭🧪

Happy Polar Pride! This year I'd like to draw attention to @500qs.bsky.social - an awesome campaign for making LGBTQ+ people in STEM more visible! Coincidentally, happy to have played a part making Arctic Pride happen here in Tromsø last week 🏳️‍🌈 #polarpride #LGBTQinSTEM #DiversityInPolarScience

Happy #PolarPride 2025! Celebrate diversity and the contributions of LGBTQIA+ people to polar science!

Happy #PolarPride! Visibility and diversity are so important 🏳️‍🌈✨ I’m proud to be in a field that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community 🌈🧪🐋 #LGBTQinSTEM #DiversityInPolarScience

⬇️ LAUNCHED TODAY ⬇️ State of the Cryosphere Report 2025 Over 50 leading cryosphere scientists warn that current climate commitments, leading the world to well over 2°C, spell disaster for billions from global ice loss – but that damage can still be prevented. Read here: iccinet.org/statecryo25/

You read the study in the Global Tipping Points Report, now join @iceybethan.bsky.social @ricarda-winkelmann.bsky.social, Judy Daxootsu Ramos and Annika Ord and me to discuss glacier loss and tipping points southeast Alaska at the #COP30 Cryosphere Pavilion next Monday. @pik-potsdam.bsky.social

I am hiring 4 postdoctoral researchers for up to 4 years each. Topics include ice sheet reconstruction, GIA, spatial stats, and satellite geodesy. Based in Tasmania. All details are here: careers.utas.edu.au/en/listing/ with titles below I am also recruiting multiple PhD students (see below) 1/n

Come and join us in Brighton for Quaternary science and plenty of Geoarchaeology and the Palaeolithic archaeology too. Including an ECR workshop and a field trip to Birling Gap and Black Rock, all in my home city! 🦣🏺

How much carbon budget do we have left if we want to stay below 1.5˚C? Just 2 more years at current rates. It is essentially impossible to avoid global temperature rise exceeding 1.5˚C. climatelabbook.substack.com/p/the-shrink...

We’re delighted to share that Bethan Davies (@iceybethan.bsky.social) has been invited to give a talk at COP30 this year. On 17 November, she'll deliver an online talk at the Cryosphere Pavilion about 𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴. 🛑LIVE @iccinet

Do you think your MP should be briefed on the threats from ongoing damage to #climate & #nature?

Please check if they’re coming on 27 Nov👉 www.nebriefing.org They’ll hear the evidence that genuine emergency action will make ordinary people much better off. #TimeToStepUp #NEB

Mark your diaries - It's Polar Pride on November 18th! Celebrate the achievements of LGQBTIA+ people in STEM and in polar science, and work to make work places more inclusive and supportive, and to challenge barriers and discrimination #polarpride #LGBTQinSTEM

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose. Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵

Human Geography at Leicester is facing closure. Staff contracts are to end in June 2026; students are to be relocated to other universities, or taught out by a maximum of two (!) teaching-only staff. Other departments and subjects are facing closure, too. Please join the demo!

New national climate plans have barely moved the needle on limiting global warming. Yet there is hope. According to UNEP's latest #EmissionsGap Report, accelerated adoption of renewable energy and falling costs mean we have the tools to cut emissions now: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Come and study for a PhD with me @ncl-geography.bsky.social!

Is this same Labour Government expanding airports, refuses to rule out extracting more fossil fuels from the Rosebank Oil Field Intent on destroying bats, newts and doesn't care about nature? Not sure going to Brazil alone is going to do much good. Join.greenparty.org.uk

My morning @carbonbrief.org daily briefing is full of information on how NetZero continues to be attacked in the UK's right wing media, as we approach COP30. Climate action remains under attack and I feel depressed about this. How do we turn this tide?
