C’mon Scottish Rugby, from 70N in Greenland! #AsOne #RWC2023

Excited to join GCRC on a cruise to map unsurveyed regions of the seafloor in NW Greenland! Fingers crossed for calm seas and plentiful glacial landforms!

Thanks to NERC Arctic Office Natural Environment Research Council for a UK-Greenland Bursary to support this collaboration 🇬🇧 🇬🇱 🚢 🌊

If you've completed your PhD within the last 4 years and haven't yet held a permanent position, and would be interested in a Leverhulme Fellowship at Newcastle University Geography then get in touch!

In Rome for #INQUARoma2023 INQUARoma2023?

I'll be presenting this work⬇️on Monday morning! Come and chat to me about corrugation ridges, their formation and implications for ice-sheet retreat.

Aula Magna - Rettorato CU001

A brilliant first CORR-NE conference yesterday! 55 researchers from north-east universities presented their work on the cold regions. The quality of posters was exceptionally high and great to see everyone getting to know each other.

Ice sheet melting records are toppling, with the 7 highest (worst) years occurring in the last decade of the satellite record

Now 1/4 of sea level rise

The latest #IMBIE assessment is published today tinyurl.com/2jpms4rt

Fitting that this was recorded on the publication date of our new nature study on rapid ice-sheet retreat.

Are such pacific temp anomalies a forewarning of El Niño to come? This could have important (& scary) implications for West Antarctica if so …

Thank you to everyone who has sent congratulations about our new paper (& kind words about my press, tv & radio activities!) - I’m genuinely touched by the support. Now in the Lake District for a break from work, although I’m sure some glacial landforms will catch my eye ⛰🥾🧊

'Our results shed new light on how ice sheets interact with their beds over different timescales'

Frazer Christie and I explain the findings and implications of our new paper in The Conversation

Great to hear Christine Batchelor discussing research which found ice sheets can retreat up to 600 metres a day during periods of climate warming on BBC Radio 4 Today. bbc.in/3Um5XYT (listen from 48.17)

A new study shows an ancient ice sheet retreated at a startling 2,000 feet per day, shedding light on how quickly ice in Antarctica could melt and raise global sea levels in today’s warming world. wapo.st/3m6BqSh

This probably doesn't qualify as good news. insideclimatenews.org/news/05042023/…

Ice sheets can collapse at 600 metres a day, far faster than feared, study finds

- Sediments from last ice age provide ‘warning from the past’ for Antarctica and sea level rise today, say scientists Christine Batchelor et al
