My first attempt at painting the comic went south... probably because I chose to start with a challenging nighttime scene.
Reworked my color mixing, ready to try again. It's process 😅
We had a great turnout of roughly 20 students! Great to see so many of our students keen on Glaciology 💪❄️
Calling BSc and MSc students interested in glaciological research!! ❄️❄️ @livunigeog.bsky.social
I don't see how this is anything less than a gross attempt to breach freedom of speech and right to privacy in the US. As an American citizen, I feel fear - not freedom.

Wrote a little story about our paper: doi.org/10.1002/ecog...
Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, a day to remember all those who were murdered during the Holocaust, under wider Nazi persecution and through all other genocides. Our thoughts are with the members of these communities.
Even when stuck in a lift, PhD students have lunch together ❤️
We're in the lift, they're sat in the hallway. Solidarity all the way.
“That leaves Republicans in Congress as the last barrier. They owe it to the American people, and to the world, to stop Trump from acting out his fantasy in Greenland and doing permanent damage to American interests.”
@anneapplebaum.bsky.social lays it out.
Dear America, we'd like to speak to the manager...

A photo of Marguerite Perey, seated and looking directly at the camera. Her right hand rests on her lap and her left hand is in her pocket. She is wearing a long white lab coat that is tied at the waist.
Physicist Marguerite Perey discovered Francium #OTD in 1939. It was the last element to be found in a naturally occurring state, rather than synthesized by humans. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩🔬

The IPCC will, of course, hum along without U.S. participation, but folks will be hoping for their swift return.
Until then, give hugs to your climate-conscious U.S. friends, and encourage them to keep fighting for a livable future.
It’s always darkest before dawn.

Visited the conservatory with my sister on NYE - I've definitely grown in appreciation for plants this year
Lovely Chicago fresh air

I feel like art therapy could be useful in academia too, especially when things don't work out e.g. grant proposals fail, fieldwork challenges, general overwhelm. 🧪🎨

Greenland's fjords are pathways for exchange of heat and freshwater between the continental shelf and outlet glaciers of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Vries et al., present year-round water column velocity observations for Nuup Kangerlua in SW Greenland 🌊

Finally, here it is. Also this year, I have together with @ruthmottram.bsky.social commented on the fate of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Thanks for your patience, @carbonbrief.org. One of the highlights: 2024/25 was the 29th year in a row with net mass loss. See www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-h...

Weather geekery
A table with red covering. On it are paper plates covered in brightly coloured paint. The atmosphere is creative and messy (in a good way!).
Artist Rowan Huntley is standing looking at a big screen displaying a powerpoint slide with photographs of rock formations. She is wearing blue dungarees and holding a piece of paper.
A blue table with square painted tiles laid on it. The tiles are covered in brightly coloured painted abstract scenes, with swirls and blobs of colour.
More art from #sciart workshops at @scottpolar.bsky.social yesterday!
The exhibition, inspired by my @bas.ac.uk research, is open TODAY 12-4pm. Do visit 👇

🚨 Interested in the form and variability of the supraglacial hydrological system? @hollywytia.bsky.social et al. explore the controls on channel distribution and characteristics on Swiss Alpine glaciers in a new paper hot off the press at The Cryosphere! ❄️ tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/...
Finally making some progress
