Brand new website for the Cryo Group at DTU is now live! Thanks to @reneefredensborg.bsky.social for making us look so good 🤪 www.space.dtu.dk/english/rese...

Three new papers co-authored by @tabea-rettelbach.bsky.social have just been published! A little outside of our usual focus on the cryosphere, as these studies span broader Arctic remote sensing applications: aerial imagery 🛩️, methane emissions🫧, driftwood 🪵. Details and links in the comments ⬇️

These past three days, @reneefredensborg.bsky.social, @tabea-rettelbach.bsky.social ‬& @kirkscanlan.bsky.social participated in the Symposium on Technology Advancement for Ice Remote Sensing (STAIRS) in Copenhagen, organised by the University of Copenhagen and the University of Manitoba 🛰️❄️

Welcome to our new bachelor students! 🎓 Yesterday marked the start of the new study year at DTU, where we welcomed 42 new bachelor students to our Earth and Space Physics and Engineering programme. Our head of study Sine Hvidegaard made sure the students got a good intro to their new student life.

Congratulations to DJ Upside Down Turtle and DJ Disco Disc for their triumph in the inaugural Cryosphere Group Disc Golf Championship! 🥳🥳 A lovely afternoon spent with great colleagues and only "a few" discs had to be dug out of trees or fished out of water. Time to start practicing for next year 🙃

📢 A new study pinpointing 📌 differences in RCM melt extent using observations from ASCAT 🛰️ is out! Led by our PhD student Anna Puggaard with @louisesandbergs.bsky.social, @eo4cryo.bsky.social and colleagues from @dmidk.bsky.social, GEUS and ENVEO. Interested? See ➡️ tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/...

Exciting news from our team to start the weekend! 🎉Our own eo4cryo.bsky.social has joined the Strategic Advisory Board for the EU’s #DestinationEarth initiative 🌍 Read more about the expectations for the initiative and @eo4cryo.bsky.social's role here: www.dtu.dk/english/news...

Better late than never. Big thanks to @anja-ruti.bsky.social and @eo4cryo.bsky.social for all their help as we try to unravel #Greenland Ice Sheet surface roughness from radar altimetry. Hat tip to the @esa.int Living Planet Fellowship program for supporting this work! doi.org/10.5194/tc-1...

📢Just before a busy summer, a new paper dropped by our very own @kirkscanlan.bsky.social and @eo4cryo.bsky.social with @anja-ruti.bsky.social and our friend Nicolaj Hansen from @dmidk.bsky.social ➡️ doi.org/10.1038/s415...

And why not one more while we're at it. Have you ever wondered how surface conditions across #Greenland change with time? Us too! Here we recovered 11 years of "surface" density changes from satellite altimetry. A whole new window into how Greenland is changing. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

We have contributed to this interesting paper, which has been published today: 🧊 It shows a rare subglacial flood in Greenland, where water forced its way upward through the ice sheet. 📡 Satellite data revealed this event was triggered by rapid drainage of a hidden lake beneath the ice .
