My first tweet in a long old time... and it's partly self-promotion (check out this week's @nature issue!), but mostly I want to promote Prof Tamsin Edwards's amazing and moving blog post on science, sea levels and, well, life.

We need to stop colonising the future -- it is full of people who will not thank us for our short-term thinking, re: climate change, resource depletion and pollution bbc.com/future/story/2…

A few 10s of cm of sea level rise over the coming century might not seem like a big deal, but this interactive article really nicely demonstrates how it pushes up the frequency of extreme events theguardian.com/environment/ng…

Sharing this article for my own future reference, in the sincere hope that things don't turn out so bleak as it suggests. Maybe it will teach me optimism. theguardian.com/politics/2020/…

Need cool new wallpaper or virtual backgrounds? 🧊😎📹 Measuring ice with Operation #IceBridge, scientist Jeremy Harbeck captured pics of an iceberg near Thule, Greenland; Pine Island Glacier's calving front; the Antarctic Peninsula's Campbell Crest, & Arctic sea ice #NASAatHome

Very excited to have my first research article published @Bristol_Glac Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington Isabel Nias @nick_golledge

How much trouble is humanity really in as Earth's ancient glaciers melt? For #EarthDay2020, we went on a mission with the world’s foremost glaciologists to try and find out.

Numerous LiverCool members virtually assembled tonight after our monthly research meeting for a beer to socialise. We welcomed Isabel Nias to LiverCool because lockdown won't stop us... Talking about ice and beer! #VirtualPub

Thanks GOV.UK for the newly launched COVID threat-level alert system that’s going to save us all. By my estimation, we’re currently at a COVID Alert Level of 220,449.8 and climbing

I've never been prouder to be Bristol City Poet & to offer a poem to my adopted city than I am today. This piece is called Hollow and I hope you like it. I've captioned it and everything! Rust in shame, Eddie.

Keep coming back to this *stunning* speech after debates about #Colston. Focusing on the *what* diverts from the *why* in protest and diverts from the true message. Post-hoc chiding of how an abhorrent statue came down is fiddling whilst Rome fucking burns. #blacklivesmatter

21st century Bristol is a pretty great place Britain beyond lockdown: can social and climate justice come together? theguardian.com/environment/20…

Are you #PhinesheD? Or soon to be? Love polar 🇦🇶 or cryo ❄🏔🧊 research? Apply for the NASA Postdoctoral Program! The NASA Goddard Cryospheric Sciences Lab wants YOU! Yes, you! 🤗 Details 👉 npp.usra.edu You design your *own* project.

Thanks to everyone involved in ISMIP6! Amazing to see this international participation

What a tweet to push me closer to thinking scientific publishing should be nationalised. The robber barons of our industry.

If you’re wondering why university staff have been striking about pensions for a couple of years, saying the forecasts underpinning the cuts are insane:

🤩 Thank you so much to all these fantastic people who joined us in ESRIN this week to discuss the next improvements to CryoTEMPO - an incredible 13+ year record of Earth's ice and water - with more soon to come 🤩
