👋Hey ice fans! We’re looking for a post-doctoral fellow to join our glaciology team! 👇 Call: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI... Deadline: 30 Sep 2025

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!

Enjoying a glaciology group writing retreat this morning, with excellent cake provided by @hollywytia.bsky.social! ✍️🍰❄️

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! ❄️

We are now accepting submissions for the Annals of Glaciology special issue on 'Ice Streams and Outlet Glaciers' and welcome contributions from both palaeo and contemporary perspectives. The submission deadline is 30th September 2025, and you can find out more here: www.igsoc.org/ice-streams-...

📢 The final ArcticDEM & REMA release is here - and it might be the last. Funding cuts put vital polar data at risk. Help us rally support: take the survey! 🔗https://z.umn.edu/pgc-dem-survey #PolarScience #SavePolarData

excited to say that the first paper from my PhD has just been published! Click the link below to read more about the rapid re-acceleration of Greenland’s largest outlet glacier, Jakobshavn Isbræ (Sermeq Kujalleq) 🇬🇱🧊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

A reminder that abstract submission for the @igsoc.bsky.social Symposium on Ice Streams & Outlet glaciers @geogdurham.bsky.social closes 24th March. We're looking forward to presentations from both contemporary & palaeo perspectives to encourage cross-pollination of ideas & research approaches! ❄️⚒️🧪

The #Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change.  Research led by @tomchudley.bsky.social from @geogdurham.bsky.social found crevasses had significantly increased in size and depth in just five years 👉 bit.ly/4aKE8l7 @leverhulme.bsky.social #DUresearch

We analysed 8,000 maps and found crevasses are increasing in size and depth.

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. @durham-university.bsky.social @byrdpolar.bsky.social @leverhulme.bsky.social

Between 2018 and 2021, KIV Steenstrup Nordre Bræ in Greenland retreated 7 km and quadrupled in velocity. It's now in the top 10% of glaciers contributing to Greenland's discharge. Our new paper in Nature Comms: @ByrdPolar @Michalea_King @PolarScience_UW

Between 2018 and 2021, KIV Steenstrup Nordre Bræ in East Greenland retreated 7 km and quadrupled (!!) in velocity. Read our new preprint >>

New article from the @ERC_RESPONDER team! We present observations of a supraglacial lake drainage in a fast-flowing sector of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Read it in PNAS -

🚨 New Paper 🚨 We show how you can use #UAVs to extract high-resolution velocity fields of glaciers and ice sheets with no ground control! #dronesforscience Available #OpenAccess in @EGU_TC with thanks to @ERC_RESPONDER @CambridgeESS

Results of a midnight drone flight: a lake actively draining into the Greenland Ice Sheet. Store Glacier, July 2018. #dronesforscience @ERC_RESPONDER

#UAV orthophoto of @ERC_RESPONDER 2018 basecamp at Store Glacier, Greenland. Camp is affectionately (and appropriately) named 'Lakeside', visible as orange dots on right. #dronesforgood

Final @scottpolar student talk of #IGSBBM2018 - @rebeccadell1 discussing the impact of NDWI thresholding on detecting ice shelf hydrology

More @ERC_RESPONDER results from Samuel Cool at #IGSBBM2018 - modelling subglacial hydrology at Store Glacier. Integrating data and modelling! @igsbbm2018

Excellent week in Oban on the @NERCscience #UAV training course. Flying, robotic theory, and operations advice. Looking forward to put into practice! #dronesforgood

Tomorrow we begin flying to Greenland for the 2018 @ERC_RESPONDER summer field campaign! Here's the latest look at our field site at Store Glacier, taken yesterday courtesy of #Sentinel2. Fingers crossed we can catch the western lake before it drains...

Looking forward to sharing work at #EGU2018 today! Learn how we created this high-res ice velocity map: poster X2.55, 1730-1900. I'm also a co-author on Antonio Abellan's talk on glaciers and point clouds: room N2, 13:30-14:00.

Great article - reinvigorated to get better at Jupyter after reading!

Great day learning about #scicomm #infographics from the #infohackit workshop - here's our effort! @bruce_steel @chowlandf1 #CEEDA2018

Opportunities to join our group () investigating fast ice flow in Greenland. Please share! 1. One Postdoc using passive seismics () 2. Two PhDs using fibre-optics () and precision radar ()

#UAV imagery of the #RESPONDER_ERC camp in Greenland, four days apart. Note the camp has moved downstream, and the dramatic surface changes from melt!

Come join our research group on the #RESPONDER_ERC project - 3.5yr PhD tracking heat through ice boreholes, including 2 field seasons on the Greenland Ice Sheet!

Stretching into polar humanities with great talk about Fridtjof Nansen and history of the @RGS_IBG by @Peter_R_Martin

I spoke to @BlueSci about our research in Greenland, and our current exhibition showing at the @scottpolar museum! Check it out >

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?

#FieldFotoFriday: A look back at camp in the #midnightsun.

Great night with other @scottpolar postgrads at @TheMissingMaps event in Cambridge! #mmcambridge

Looking forward to attending @TheMissingMaps event next Wednesday in Cambridge. Great video from @TPFDowling about the project here

A morning very scientifically measuring antenna offsets with @rebeccadell1 @Peter_R_Martin #FieldStoreFotoFriday

If you're in Cambridge, drop by the @scottpolar Museum to see what we did in the field this summer in the new temporary exhibit!

Playing with the impressive #Sentinel1 Greenland mosaics from @NASAEarthData MEaSUREs: here's (nearly) 3 years of imagery from Store Glacier

Initial attempt at post-processing our #GPS data successful: hopefully will dramatically improve the accuracy of our #UAV #photogrammetry !

A bit of early data of a drained lakebed at Store #Glacier: 10m resolution Sentinel-2 image (21/07/2017) vs. 0.3m #UAV imagery (26/07/2017).

Took a break from Earth ice at #egu17 to learn about eskers on Mars c/o @fegbutcher !

Another great #glaciology article from the New York Times

Beautiful photos from @thaw2017 in collaboration with @scottpolar

A great first day exploring #Vienna - now off to the #EGU16 opening reception! @Katie_Miles_851 @coolsarahc
