🌍🏔️ PhD Opportunities in Glacial Lake Research! ❄️🌊 1️⃣ 🔗 yes-dtn.ac.uk/research/the... 2️⃣ 🔗 unrisk-cdt.ac.uk/projects/red...

As #COP30 heats up, superb visual storytelling in @nytimes.com about climate change & the threat of glacial lake outburst floods in the Himalaya, featuring the work of @cscottwatson.bsky.social and quotes from @kristencook.bsky.social @sonamshp.bsky.social and me. 🧪⚒️ www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Join us water@leeds talking about glaciology, remote sensing, hydrology, geomorphology, hazards, and ecology for World Day for Glacier and World Water Day. 21 March 13:00-14:30 GMT. Register here: events.teams.microsoft.com/event/3ed65f...

New LGBTQ+ science resources! Today, we’re excited to share our PRIDE Guidelines for LGBTQ+ inclusive field work at inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/pride. Please share widely and see the thread below for more details 🧪🌍🌐

Ice-marginal lakes across #Greenland- why do they matter?! 🇬🇱🧊 🌊 Our article in Geography introduces the importance of these chilly lakes and their impact on ice sheet change. Read on for an IML crash-course plus some cool classroom tips ❄️💻✏️ @joemallalieu.bsky.social shorturl.at/Z4jUh

New paper today in @science.org focused on unraveling the chain of events that led to the 2023 Teesta disaster, which resulted in about 130 people either dead or missing in Sikkim, India. Short thread to follow. 🧪⚒️ doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Our new paper in Science (Sattar et al 2025) analyses the causes, process and impacts of the 3-4 October 2023 landslide-triggered GLOF along the Teesta River in Northern India. This was an amazing event - I've provided a summary of the research on the Landslide Blog:- eos.org/thelandslide...

A really interesting paper in the AGU journal Earth's Future (Stanley et al. 2024) suggests that landslide hazard in the high mountains of Asia will increase under the effects of climate change. More information on the Landslide Blog:- eos.org/thelandslide...

Diverse groups do better science. Happy #PolarPride #LGBTQinSTEM day!

Rocking my #PolarPride badge ahead of an exciting day of science in Copenhagen! If you want to find out more about why Pride matters for polar research, last year I wrote a blog post about being LGBTQ+ in polar science and the progress that is yet to be made www.polarregions.co.uk/post/why-pri...

I'm pleased to announce our exciting new paper in Comms Earth & Environment: 'Proximity to active volcanoes enhances glacier velocity', in which we find glaciers located near volcanoes flow almost 50% faster than those located elsewhere. @natureportfolio.bsky.social Available here: rdcu.be/dZ0Ie 1/7
