@atthenius YES! You should definitely do this. John Nye was interviewed in his 90s about the development of #glaciology 65 years ago and it's fascinating..

I have made a few videos over the last couple of years, primarily field techniques, some lectures and public talks about my research (#climate, #glaciology, #seaLevelRise) Goodness knows if anyone would be interested in them but I'm looking for a peertube instance to host them. What would the #Fediverse suggest?

#Peertube #

Zooming in on the image I posted earlier, there's some fascinating #Glaciology on display. In the image I've circled a looped moraine (in red) and terminal moraines in a piedmont form in blue. Bedforms in black

These features suggest to me #SurgingGlacier behaviour at some point (hards to say if still active as #GlacierSurges can occur decades if not centuries apart).

#EO data and especially #OA #FreeData from #ESA's #Sentinel programme have absolutely revolutionised #EarthScience

I was very sad to read that emeritus #BAS scientist #DavidVaughan died after short illness last week. He was always kind and encouraging to me personally and very good at communicating our science in general

The #BritishAntarcticSurvey have a very thorough obituary here:

Spending the morning looking at glaciers on Google Earth –– for work? Sweet!

@FrankPattyn is a very amusing #PhD opponent. Keeping us entertained and informed during Martim Mas e Braga's defense.

I have a new paper out in the Journal of Glaciology, on the effects of hydrology and spatially varying sediments on ice sheet sliding over glacial time scales. The result? The addition of water into the base of the ice sheet can make the initial advance of the ice sheet faster, but ultimately the geometry of the ice sheet is mostly controlled by the surface mass balance, which is controlled by summer temperatures. #IceSheets #Glaciology #PaleoClimate #ClimateChange https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-glaciology/article/impact-of-spatially-varying-ice-sheet-basal-conditions-on-sliding-at-glacial-time-scales/16E8307D3768782F71186B66F1946553

I updated the piece I wrote on Christmas Day about our #Fieldwork at #Qaanaaq to include some more details of the #glaciology plus to add some links and to pay tribute to our collaborators and colleagues within and outside #Greenland.

Where are all of the #Glaciology #Ice and #SeaLevel folks?

Would love to connect to a bigger group of glaciologist over here.

When I first started my PhD looking to work in the glacio-hydro area in the Himalayan region, there were a handful of Nepali academics. A decade or so later, I’m glad and proud that we have our own diverse, top-notch experts, academics, and professionals representing in this area. These young folks are all doing exceptional, cutting-edge science.

Please collaborate with them, and invite them to your panels and conferences.

Staying with #Snow but moving to #Antarctica - cool work on the importance of snow #accumulation for #IceShelf mass budget + viability from Melchior van Wessem + colleagues at #UtrechtUniversity #IMAU
I've long been convinced the #SMB + #glaciology communities have ignored #precipitation in favour of melt (they're both important - but precip variability can also enhance #ice loss).
This is a #preprint, but super interesting

Hello! I'm not posting much here yet, still mostly over on the bird app, but thought I'd poke my head in. I'm a research scientist working on #glacier and #icesheet #hydrology research at CU Boulder, as well as #DEM development at NOAA/NCEI. When time & energy allow, also working to fight ableism in science (which is rampant) and fighting the fights that need fighting.
