Out coring for past sea level and GLOFs! We found this unit of graded gravel and sand with erosive boundaries, between a lacustrine gyttja (top) and a silty suspension sediment (bottom) 🤤 No idea what it is, yet ... Down = down core.

Veiki moraines (ice-walled lake plains) in an ~12 ka old ice-marginal zone in Finnmark, Norway. Quite similar to the "circular ablation features" posted earlier - if everything but the circular Veiki moraines is removed.

We also have these features termed "cirular ablation moraines" (till) that is found on top of (old/ancient?) blockfields. Does anyone know of similar features elsewhere?

Preparing a new mapping area and had to share some beautiful LiDAR, as one should. Fluvial and marine processes at play during land emergence, some deflation and a sprinkle of wind-blown sand 🤩

📢 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...

Just visited these sawtooth moraines in Bødalen 😍 The moraines were deposited by Bødalsbreen, an outlet glacier from the Jostedalsbreen ice cap, during the Little Ice Age. Beautiful day!

Still surfing Svalbard! A colleague just pointed out these to me. The moraines probably formed because of varying glacier thermal regime, but still can't wrap my head properly around how exactly they formed 🤯

Surfing around Svalbard - here are some calving bays for you 😍

Checked out these strange-looking "eskers" (west of the scale bar) a few weeks back. Was expecting sorted sediments with bedding, but found diamicton in all cases. Any ideas what they could be? We've got a few crevasse-related candidates.

Just now: Large slide in sensitive marine clays in Mid-Norway sweeps away the main E6 road and the railway. One person still missing. Image by Johan Arnt Nesgård, Trønder-Avisa.

Out mapping and had to check out this crag-and-tail feature. Underwhelming 20x20 m-large crag, but cool to visit. The flute is just shy of 1 km long and less than 5 m high and 35 m wide. So quite fast-flowing ice, right?

So this is where everybody went. Are we still posting new research and fancy stuff that we've come across? Glad to be here! Anyways, here are some bedrock grooves we just visited.
