I had a lovely dinner last night with some esteemed senior ladies in glaciology that I’m lucky to call friends. From left to right: Helen Fricker, Ginny Catania, Sophie Nowicki, Leigh Stearns, Twila Moon, & me! #AGU25

Come talk to me at #AGU25 this week & work towards a chance to win $100 through Cryosphere BINGO! I’m chairing Remote Sensing of the Cryosphere sessions on Mon & Tues and giving a talk in session C34B on Wednesday!

Highlights from the end of the year @BoiseState (so far): celebrating university awards w/ awesome grad students, getting a teaching award from grad students at our dept. picnic, & getting a gift for “badgering” students to do required paperwork

I can’t believe it… I won a Presidential Early Career Achievement in Science and Engineering (PECASE) award! I was nominated for my NASA-funded research on cryosphere remote sensing. Check of the Whitehouse Press release: www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-up...

Just 2 Associate Professors (me + Jenn Mallette) celebrating the end of the Fall ‘24 semester with a 6-mile Christmas run! I may not be fast but I toughed it out even with a bad case of laryngitis. #Boise @boisestate.bsky.social

When your football team has their conference championship game at 6pm and your office is next to the stadium (behind the fireworks in the gif), you need to be prepared for an afternoon full of stadium music while you work! At least I’ll be pumped up!

Fall CryoGARS Glaciology group photo! I always try to build a sense of community in my group & part of that effort includes hosting a group party each semester. No undergrads were free but all my grads came: (L to R) Aman K C, Rainey Aberle, Karina Zikan, Parker Wilkerson, & Lindsay Summers

I lectured on my research to an intro geoscience class yesterday. I had 2 students stay after to ask about impacts of land ice loss beyond sea level rise. I told them about slowing global ocean circulation & I think I depressed them. But maybe I also inspired them? science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-...

I have put entirely too much thought into how I can justify wearing a #Halloween costume while teaching my Remote Sensing & Meteorology classes. I’m hoping I don’t suddenly become “internet famous” in a little less than 2 weeks! #eccentricprofessor

We thought our one seismometer kept getting “visited” by a bear, but I’m starting to think that maybe it was a wolverine that chewed up our box & lost one of our sensors (rolled off a cliff?)… @timbartholomaus.bsky.social #fieldwork #science

If you’ve ever heard of a “glacier surge”, you were probably told that it’s something like flipping a switch: a glacier goes from moving slowly to suddenly moving 10-100x faster. PhD candidate Jukes Liu’s latest paper shows it’s not that simple! bit.ly/48wciHrM

🚨🚨 New work I suspect will be influential for yrs to come! Surge-type glacier Sít’ Kusá is far from quiet during "quiescence." @glacierdoc.bsky.social student Jukes Liu shows, using dense 🛰️ time series, that annual speedups w/ impt responses to weather, build towards surge doi.org/10.1017/jog....
