The perfect rainbow 🌈 hill seen from Langjokull #fieldwork joys

Hitchhiking Iceland style

Rainy and windy Iceland is not great for sampling - but that is fieldwork joy 🥹

Bye bye Greenland 🇬🇱 Hello Iceland 🇮🇸

Bye bye Greenland 🇬🇱 Hello Iceland 🇮🇸

A marvellous day sampling on the Greenland ice sheet wt a top rate all female science team and on top of that flown by the sole female helicopter pilot in Greenland 🇬🇱- thanks Tina from Sermeq for the fantastic day

Melting over 80.6% of the area of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This is the highest value in our data set, which starts in 1981. @polarportal.bsky.social

Scientist at work 😃 #fieldwork

Start of 2025 summer polar fieldwork travel - stage 1 ✅

If you would like to attend a #microscopy or #bioimageanalysis training course in the next 6 months but don’t have funding, check out our Microscopy Training Grant from @jcellsci.bsky.social and @focalplane.bsky.social. Next deadline: 6 June 2025 www.biologists.com/grants/jcs-f... #Training

This is bleak reading

IAVCEI cancel one of their meetings due to the ongoing situation in the US 🌋

A tardigrade just got the world's tiniest tattoo. This, and so much more, in Nature's roundup of the best #science images from April. 🧪 And yes, you should take 20 seconds to play the aurora video. 😍 www.nature.com/immersive/d4... #SciencePhotography #Microscopy

Christoph Keuschnig gave her @MSCA project on fungal highways and their role in soil development @egubg.bsky.social @gfz.bsky.social @egu.eu

What is @egu.eu without a classical concert in the Musikverein - not an option but a sin.

Very happy about this science art collaboration wt Michael Najjar - have. Look also at his Arctic Stream installation www.michaelnajjar.com/news/new-art... that is based on our work funded by the @ERC synergy grant DeepPurple

One of the leading publications in the art world, @theartnewspaper.bsky.social, is running a feature on the work of Michael Najjar, an artist who accompanied our @lianegbenning.bsky.social & her team to Greenland. His work is so impressive! See for yourself 👇 www.theartnewspaper.com/2025/04/25/c...

And now #IceBio PhD student Kara Sampsell taking about the microbes and glacier flower link in terms of nutrient delivery mechanisms - @egu.eu

Alex Anesio now presenting in the ECO- OMICS session the Metatranscriptomic workflow from our DeepPurple work - a study led by Thanassis Zervas and Laura Perini from @au.dk @gfz.bsky.social @egu.eu

Pamela Rossel giving the intro talk about how the DOM/ POM of red snow and glacier ice algae change over 21 days during melting @prossel.bsky.social @gfz.bsky.social @egu.eu

EGU here we go with @ICEBIO - MSCA and Interface Geochemistry @lianegbenning.bsky.social G. Benning and Anirban Majumder

Christoph Keuschnig introducing the EVO-OMICS session starting us of on Monday morning in room 2.33 level -2 @egu.eu

New in #GPLetters: Pseudomorphism, one of the most prominent features of mineral replacement phenomena, can survive several successive mineral transformations, as experimentally demonstrated for the 1st time by Forjanes et al ➡️ buff.ly/FbNFwXw @forjanes.bsky.social @jeffperez.bsky.social

So very proud of @forjanes.bsky.social and his 1st @gfz.bsky.social paper Exquisite data and images of a fabulous geochemical and mineralogical double pseudomorphic reaction

Very excited to share my first 100% @gfz.bsky.social paper on mineral pseudomorphism with my Interface Geochemistry fantastic team! @lianegbenning.bsky.social @jeffperez.bsky.social

Iceland never disappoints- day one and miracle after miracle

It's the first International Day of #Glaciers! The ice worldwide is under threat due to rapid #climatechange. This day puts a spotlight on glaciers as a vulnerable but globally relevant element of the climate system. It is not yet too late to save them! @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social
