Nothing more pleasing than unearthing some ancient chunks of basal ice from the archive for a student experiment. Robyn's rig looks so sciencey!

New paper! Dr VB and a crack team of citizen scientists across the #riverwye compared performance of methods to measure phosphate and nitrate: links.email.frontiersin.org/ls/click?upn... TL;DR: Hanna Checkers perform pretty well

What a metaphor www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I've got a sensor measuring a titchy stream near Monmouth to support one of our citizen science groups. It's usually 20-30 cm deep, but went up to >2m in just a few hours during Storm Claudia! Thinking of everyone affected.

PhD project alert: monitoring ice dammed lakes in Iceland, observations, modelling and a dream team of supervisors. Apply now! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

As the United Nations marks the 2025 International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation and the opening of COP30 in Brazil, I'm happy to have been able to contribute a chapter to a new UK National Commission for UNESCO report on "Glaciers and Ice Sheets in a Warming World: Impacts and Outcomes". (1/2)

Team SLIDE also features in this report. TL;DR: glaciers are changing fast, but they're not gone yet, and UK scientists are helping find out about it

Finally out! The outcome of a virtual workshop in Feb 2024 with modelers and observationalists to put together data and protocols to include historical changes in ice sheet/ice shelf discharge in CMIP models. Hopefully not too late for some CMIP7 runs! gmd.copernicus.org/articles/18/...

Delighted to be advertising an exciting PhD opportunity on South Georgia's glaciers through @iapetusdtp.bsky.social. Please get in touch if you want to discuss and forward to any interested parties! iapetus.ac.uk/studentships...

Hey ice-sheet modellers! 👋 It’s time to register for the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project (ISMIP) protocol workshop being hosting here in Copenhagen (at GEUS) 23-25 March 2026. Register: www.tilmeld.dk/ismip7worksh... Learn more at how ISMIP supports the IPCC process: www.ismip.org

Hanna's (Zihan Yang) first paper onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... paired data on 317 sewage works and 232 control reaches for 22 years to find out what impact of sewage has.

No Web of Science, I do not wish to add these quick keywords to my search about a glacier

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a... Thought provoking article to share with your families and friends when they ask what you do, featuring the ever excellent @arwynedwards.bsky.social

Cool new paper using DAS to observe fracture, calving and mixing in a Greenland fjord www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Really disappointing new policy from NERC banning resubmissions of grant applications Many of us, including me, have won grants on resubmission, using the reviews to improve the application This is is neither fair nor productive www.ukri.org/councils/ner...

Today is the Cryoegg's first operational birthday 🎂 It's been chirping away under the Greenland ice sheet every day since @matt-peacey.bsky.social chucked it down a moulin. Stand by for papers....

Check out this time-lapse video of waves eroding an ice front from an experiment conducted in our cryogenic wave tank at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The tank is housed in a walk-in freezer, and the waves are precisely controlled. This video captures about an hour of wave erosion.

Are you a scientist with an interest in #ClimateChange and Antarctica? This September, join a team of leading oceanographers & climate scientists from @bas.ac.uk for a scientific meeting at the Royal Society: royalsociety.org/science-even... @oceanandice.bsky.social @krhendry.bsky.social

This is the collapsing terminus of Rhone #glacier yesterday - retreating out of its proglacial lake. Impressive changes going on during the heat wave! We measured almost 3 meters of ice melting over the last 4 weeks... This is 10 cm of ice layer removed every single day!!

Two of my favourite things at once: ice + electronic music = excited!

Probably fair to say this is the start of the overhaul, not the end, some exciting new datasets in the pipeline too. And while you're over there, check out the high melt event currently going on in #Greenland..

Lovely to welcome @matt-peacey.bsky.social back to Bristol Glaciology today to update us on his latest adventures

Gorgeous Greenland

Congratulations to the newest Dr of measuring water in cool ways: Dr Elle Von Benzon! Forgot to take a traditional cheesy viva photo, so here she is in her natural habitat. Very proud.

Gold star to @anglingtrust.bsky.social citizen scientists for their hard work and persistence: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🏔️🌍🌎🌏 New study warns: Even if we only temporarily exceed 1.5 °C, mountain glaciers face irreversible losses lasting centuries. Such an overshoot reduces glacier runoff, specifically in regions where some glaciers regrow. Further interested? Check out our new publication: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

1/2 What happens when Antarctica’s hidden rivers meet the ocean? 🌊 Subglacial water beneath the ice can melt, reshape & destabilize ice shelves. A new @natgeosci.nature.com study by #VAW’s Huw Horgan & team shows how these flows influence West Antarctica. ❄️🧊 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s415...
