🚨🧵 New paper ‘Global-scale variability of glacier velocity and mass loss across terminus environments’ out now in @natcomms.nature.com. doi.org/10.1038/s414... In which we compare glacier dynamics across land-, lake-, marine- and shelf-termini at the global scale! #glaciology #cryosphere #SciSky 🧊🌍

First paper now out from Rossana Escanilla-Minchel's PhD - showing land cover change impacts on riverflow in central Chile during different ENSO phases. Open access here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @geomorphmark.bsky.social @water.leeds.ac.uk environment.leeds.ac.uk/geography/pg...

Very happy to share the first paper of my PhD, out now in @commsearth.nature.com! Looking across the Greenland Ice Sheet, we found that glaciers flowing into lakes are up to 3.3 times faster than glaciers terminating on land 🧊 www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Had a great day at the @envleeds.bsky.social graduation. Thanks to the support of my supervisors @peatbloke.bsky.social @geomorphmark.bsky.social and @duncanquincey.bsky.social. Excitedly I’ve already started a Research Fellow position in the school continuing my research!

I’m delighted to share that our new paper is now out in @natclimate.nature.com! Our long-term, monthly Antarctic-wide dataset of surface meltwater shows that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is becoming increasingly prone to surface meltwater ponding.

Time-lapse trail cameras… not just for wildlife! 📸 Chuffed to share this Tools of the Trade article in @natrevearthenv.bsky.social, highlighting how we can capture glacier calving to better understand rates and drivers of ice loss. 📖 rdcu.be/eaj20 @envleeds.bsky.social @yes-dtn.bsky.social

Huge congrats to PhD student @danielcolson.bsky.social who passed his viva (defence) today. Well done Dan! Thanks to the examiners, Angela Harris (Manchester) and Rich Grayson, and co-supervisors @geomorphmark.bsky.social and Duncan Quincey. A happy first post on Blue Sky 😁

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

What are the greenhouse gas emissions savings associated with paludiculture? As part of a DEFRA fellowship I had a go at trying to answer this question and create an emission factor for Paludiculture in the England! Thanks to all who contributed👇 www.paludiculture.org.uk/post/what-ar...

Some boreal peatlands are losing their characteristic pools – a concern for their unique ecosystems. Researchers in the School of Geography studied the long-term changes in the pools at Hammarmossen to understand why it's happening. Read more: environment.leeds.ac.uk/news/article...
