It went so well. Amazing students explaining how they’ve been involved in the research project on palaeoclimate data from coal through their BSc course at #UniSvalbard this spring to the King and Queen of Norway. And we ended the day with a reception at the Royal yacht!

Ready for the king of Norway. Two students will present our work on coal as a palaeoclimate archive to the King today.

Anti-science & anti-LGBT+ forces have the same ideological root. How are #LGBT+ scientists affected & how can you help? For #PrideMonth I wrote about cause, effect & actions towards greater inclusion, for @egu.eu : blogs.egu.eu/geolog/2025/...

Summer in the Arctic. And delicious cake from a student, who finished her internship on the carbon cycle in an arctic delta with me.

Coal mining was the heart and soul of Longyearbyen and now it’s coming to an end. The last mine closes in a couple of weeks. But my daughter got to perform at the open day yesterday for people from town for a last visit to the mine #gruve7remix

Outreach projects as part of the assessment for the course “Arctic climate change - from the past to the future” at #UnisSvalbard. What a day. I’ve rarely had so much fun in an exam situation. For example this movie created by students. youtu.be/GBITtLhvQwc?...

Lucky me, who’s one of the scientist protagonists in an amazing childrens book about research in the Arctic. Yesterday we celebrated the first books coming from printing with author Maria Rossi. papirogblyant.no/products/ark...

In today’s webinar Ana Prohaska will be giving us Evolutionary insights from ancient sediments: Opportunities and challenges of microfossil DNA. See you all at 4pm UK time.

This session turned out very well!

If you are at #EGU25, come to our fieldwork session starting at 16:15 at PICO spot 3 (Hall X3)

Tomorrow I’ll present our new coastal landform dataset from Svalbard at #EGU25 in session OS2.4, room 1.61/1.62, 14-15:45. We have mapped out the entire coastline of the Svalbard archipelago in 1:30.000 and it’s openly available here: doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANG...

Are you a field scientist going to #EGU25 next week. Join the discussion at our union symposium on how to do inclusive and safe field work and what structures can be put in place locally, nationally and internationally to support this. meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

Yesterday I revisited Mel Gibson's drunken phone calls from when he became a convicted abuser and they sounded a lot like this. "I am focusing on terrorizing you while you should be focused on thanking me."

Abusive behaviours & toxic work environments in science research institutes. This has finally hit mainstream news.

Gorgeous field day yesterday with our new BSc course “Arctic climate change - from the past to the future” (AG-223). #UNIS #Svalbard

Great article that explain many of the subtle and not so subtle reasons why women are not moving forward in academia at the same rate of men.

I’m speaking at Svalbard Museum tonight about Women in Science for #InternationalWomensDay. Forever activist for equity and inclusion!

I’m mostly at loss for words lately with the state of the world. But can offer a timeline cleanse of northern lights from my dog walk yesterday evening.

I used to think planning and reflection was somehow cheating time away from real work. Despite those exact activities having led to my most significant successes and break throughs professionally. Today is planning and reflection day. How do you start the new year?

It’s been a lovely and calm break with family. And now after a lot of rain, it’s suddenly sunshine here in DK. Must be a good sign for this first day of easing back into work.

In 10 minutes!

Two days of the annual UNIS learning forum. 11 years of getting the entire institution together to become better educators. Keynotes on AI in education and on Building safe and inclusive field teams, sharing sessions where colleagues learn from each other and posters on ongoing education projects.

I had the pleasure of co-authoring with a large number of fellow queer and trans scientists a Perspective piece in PLoS Biology on conducting inclusive faculty searches for queer and trans scientists. The full commentary can be found here: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

There's a lot of talk about Geoengineering at #COP29 and just in time here's a pre-print written by lots of polar scientists on why this is not a good solution for our polar regions❄️ www.researchgate.net/publication/... Let's not get distracted from the main aim and keep focused on cutting CO2? 🧪

I love seeing so many new people here. I miss the supportive atmosphere of old Twitter, that made a huge difference for my networking and feeling of being included in science. Hope to recreate that here. A few facts about me: I live in the Arctic, but don’t like to be cold. I love new technology 1/2

Birthday brothers: 9 years today. Life is more than work.

STEM cultures often promote “depoliticization” or the bracketing of social or political concerns away from day-to-day STEM work, but when your identitiy and body is politicized then you risk being bracketed off - isolated, overlooked, dismissed - as you are seen as out-of-place

Happy Polar Pride! 🌈 Today we're celebrating the contribution of LGBTQ+ people in the international polar research and operations community 💙 ➡️ www.bas.ac.uk/media-post/p... #PolarPride2024 #LGBTSTEMDay #DiversityinPolarScience

Full Moon and polar night. Sunday walk with the dogs just after noon.

In Norwegian, but the essence is: “Female scientists with children publish 80% less than their male peers nine years after the first child is born”. Unfortunately this validates my experience, and most vulnerable part of my academic career. www.khrono.no/menn-med-bar...

Good morning New York!
