New paper alert ! 🙂 Happy to share our new study published in The Cryosphere ! doi.org/10.5194/tc-1... We modelled the evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet from the LGM (24 ka) to the present and learned a lot on its former history and dynamics ! @jeremyely.bsky.social @chrisdclark.bsky.social

Will our mountains lose their snow and ice? And does it matter if they do? These questions are answered by BAS glaciologist Dr Hamish Pritchard in a major new UNESCO report for the UN International Year of Glaciers' Preservation. Read the report here: https://ow.ly/TFTH50XptZc

SAVE GEOGRAPHY at Leicester University (UK) - We call on the University of Leicester to urgently reconsider the proposal to dissolve Geography. This is direct attack on the discipline of Geography at Leicester with likely loss of Geography staff. Please sign + share www.change.org/p/save-geogr...

📢 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...

... from the glacier's "tongue" below! Widespread disconnection is an thus another tipping feedback! @iceybethan.bsky.social, @jeremyely.bsky.social and co.'s paper here is a fabulous overview of the susceptibility of the icefield to disconnection. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

A rather disappointing article in the guardian, presenting a one pretty sided review of geoengingeering solutions to climate change. The scientific community needs to do more to vocally challenge these ideas and promote cutting carbon to combat climate change. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Can anyone recommend a funding source for a small work package for AntarcticGlaciers focused on celebrating the role of women, indigenous peoples and minoritised people in arctic exploration? I am looking for £3-5k.

Heading back from Nice. Where I donned my weatherman look to present my synthesis of the challenges and milestones for UNESCOs Decade of Cryospheric Sciences.

Scientists show that +1.5 °C is far too warm for Earth's ice sheets and will result in several metres of sea-level rise over the coming centuries, extensive loss and damage to coastal populations and will challenge the implementation of adaptation measures www.nature.com/articles/s43...

New paper presenting the potential sensitivity of erratic dispersals to changes in ice flow direction. We present evidence of a 1 km ice divide shift causing a 180 degree flip in dispersal direction, demonstrating potential as a test of model flow geometry. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Geomorphology signature of ice shelf breakup during British ice sheet collapse in last glacial. What a great set of comb marks they are check out the pics

Icebergs? The size of a city? 90 miles from the UK? Must be a joke, right? No! Our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com shows massive tabular icebergs broke off the UK in the last ice age before the UK’s ice shelves disintegrated from climate warming. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41... @bas.ac.uk

Back from Paris (not Blackpool) for the launch of the decade of action on the Cyrosphere world glacier day with some of the Deplete and Retreat gang.

To celebrate this first ever World Day of the Glacier, and to highlight the role of climate change in shrinking the glaciers of the Andes, we are delighted to produce a first Deplete and Retreat Policy Brief on the future of the Andean water towers. www.antarcticglaciers.org/2025/03/poli...

It's International Year of Glacier Preservation and the inaugural World Glacier Day. But why should we preserve these glaciers? from.ncl.ac.uk/why-should-w....

Happy world glacier day. Here's some stuff about glaciers in the Andes www.antarcticglaciers.org/2025/03/poli...

Hijma et al provide a high resolution reconstruction of sea level change during the early Holocene from the North Sea. They find there were two periods of relatively high sea level rise, at around 10.3 and 8.3 ka. ⚒️🧪🦣 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

We are now in Paris, where we're convening to celebrate the first World Day of the Glacier. Tomorrow there is a celebration at the UNESCO HQ in Paris, and we are hosting a side event to shine a light on the plight of the cryosphere. Join here, for free: www.un-glaciers.org/en/articles/...

I'm at UNESCO tomorrow. On a panel for about glacier preservation. Isn't that how everyone celebrates their birthday? You can witness the rare event of me wearing a suit by registering here: unesco-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Dear BBC - none of these answers are correct. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Delighted to say that our NERC science project "Deplete and Retreat" team will be contributing to a side event at the UNESCO World Day of the Glacier celebration in Paris next week. Our side event, "A vanishing mountain cryosphere and its importance to the water cycle under climate change"

We're representing our NERC project "Deplete and Retreat, the future of the Andean Water Towers" and are looking forward to discussing the impacts of a changing cryosphere in the Andes . www.antarcticglaciers.org/andes-water-... @jeremyely.bsky.social @owenking.bsky.social
