Congratulations to PhD candidate Ada Loewen who just published a study in Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing that identified over 4000 fractures in the landfast sea ice of Admiralty Inlet.  This paper describes a method that connects remotely sensed data (interferometric synthetic aperture radar…

We are seeking a PhD student with strong quantitative skills for an Arctic glacio-hydrology research project in the Water and Ice Research Laboratory (WIRL), Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. The project will build on WIRL’s long-term Milne…

A new paper that examines the role of the ‘footloose’ calving mechanism in ice islands was just published in the Journal of Glaciology.   Jesse Smith, compared observed ice island calving events from the Canadian Ice Island Drift, Deterioration and Detection (CI2D3) Database with predictions from a…

A Colorado University Boulder–led study, published recently in Nature Geoscience, investigates the retreat of Antarctica’s Hektoria Glacier and highlights the role of the ice plain bed geometry in this process. In 2023, the glacier retreated at an unprecedented rate, losing a total of 8 kilometres…
