Aerosols carry significant amounts of phosphorus that can fuel massive algal blooms on the Greenland Ice Sheet, according to new research, underscoring the importance of tracking dust emissions to understand how the ice sheet will change in the future. 🧪🧊 eos.org/articles/gre...

Good start of 2026

An end of year beach day

A beautiful day

Wonderful day

Marvellous place, healthy food, healthy mind, healthy body! Life is good ! 😊

So great to see new research on microbial adaptations to the extreme light regimes in the Arctic! 'Linking extreme light availability to cellular function in algae-dominated communities on the Greenland Ice Sheet' academic.oup.com/femsec/artic... @lianegbenning.bsky.social

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 ✅

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
