It's been a great first two days hosting the
@igsoc.bsky.social
symposium on ice streams and outlet glaciers. We've had excellent talks & posters spanning both contemporary and palaeo glaciology, and a sunny icebreaker in the courtyard of Durham Castle. ❄️🥂 Looking forward to tomorrow's excursion!

Hello Bluesky! 👋 This is the first post from the glaciology group at
@geogdurham.bsky.social
- give us a follow to hear about our icy research activities and adventures! We had a mini conference today to catch up on the brilliant range of contemporary and palaeo research by members of our group! ❄️

A Reassessment of the Role of Atmospheric and Oceanic Forcing on Ice Dynamics at Jakobshavn Isbræ (Sermeq Kujalleq), Ilulissat Icefjord
The recent deceleration, thickening and advance of Greenland's largest outlet glacier, Jakobshavn Isbræ, was short-lived (2016–2018) The onset of re-acceleration preceded oceanic warming and was ...

Our new paper is out in Nature Geoscience! In an ice-sheet-wide 3-D inventory of crevasses in 2016 and 2021, we find that crevasses are growing in response to ice acceleration on short timescales.

Increased crevassing across accelerating Greenland Ice Sheet margins - Nature Geoscience
Greenland-wide observations of crevasse volume and distribution suggest substantial increases in crevassing between 2016 and 2021 at marine-terminating sectors with accelerating ice flow.

Top result when Googling 'galloping glaciers' is a Creationist website filled with inaccuracies. Sure, it's an (archaic) popular term rather than technical - but surely all the more reason for Google to be providing reliable search results for the interested public?
