A few more 'Southern' graves. Possibly the most famous being that of Sir Ernest Shackleton, then H.Brockloae in Grytviken, South Georgia, and finally one on a nearby hill. There are further graveyards on South Georgia, close to other whaling stations

By the end of your PhD you should have: - expertise in your narrow field - a publishable manuscript - permanent lower back pain - crippling fear of the light

Research and Writing Plan: 1) ?? 2) ?? 3) ?? 4) Somehow publish something

Excited to go through the two year publication process to write academically about this critically urgent issue

Rain in the northernmost city on Earth. This month temperatures have been almost always above normal. The Arctic is becoming totally unrecognisable. And in the meantime bp Equinor are doubling down on fossil fuels. Profits over people. Profits over a liveable Earth.

Born #OnThisDay in 1880, Captain Lawrence Oates made the ultimate sacrifice on the day of his birth in 1912, by stepping out of his tent into a blizzard never to be seen again. Oates was an integral part of Scott's Polar Party, during the British Antarctic 'Terra Nova' Expedition

Global warming is ‘exposing’ new coastlines and islands as Arctic glaciers shrink | Ayesha Tandon with comment from Jan Kavan, Simon Cook Read here: buff.ly/5o2FI7j

Floods and landslides often dominate headlines, but their lasting impact flows beneath the surface—in the sediment carried by rivers. Dr Abhishek Dixit is studying how the Ganga and Brahmaputra are responding, and may continue to respond, to rising climate-driven events.

Featured in an excellent series by IIT Gandhinagar. We explore sediment dynamics in the two large Himalayan river system-Ganga and Brahmaputra. Both combined, carry the largest amount of sediments in the world.

Delighted to see our latest paper published in Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research I started on this research on the first day of my PhD (back in 2020!) It explores the land cover and land cover changes of some key proglacial areas of the Antarctic Peninsula Region 🇦🇶🛰️ tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

#newarticle by Stringer (@sedsstringer) et al. offers a new data set of land cover of major deglaciated sites in West Antarctica, highlighting a spatial pattern where northern sites have more vegetation & active sediments and have changed more rapidly: doi.org/10.1080/152304…

The tongue of Rhone #Glacier ten days after my last visit. Can you guess how much ice melted away? 1️⃣ meter in terms of thickness! 1️⃣0️⃣ days... And that's just the beginning of the summer season. We know the times are bad for the ice, but still it is hard to accept these numbers!
