Everyone on the PalGlac team wishes our friends and colleagues a happy, safe, and healthy holiday season. Today, we gathered virtually for our final group meeting of the year. Festive palaeo-glaciological paper titles and Palglac-branded fancy dress ensued.

Less than 2 weeks to go! Some great speakers lined up including @PeteZanzottera, Matt and Beth from the Birmingham Bike Foundry, Darren from Sustainability at Sheffield and chaired by @mattwtsn for a great discussion about getting more people cycling to work. #Barriers2Bikes

Happening today at 4pm! You can still get free tickets to our online panel discussion on barriers to bike commuting here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/biking-back-…. The panel will consist of @PeteZanzottera, Birmingham Bike Foundry and Darren from Sustainability at Sheffield and chaired by @mattwtsn. #Barriers2Bikes

One of @PeteZanzottera's slides from yesterdays #Barriers2Bikes panel discussion which got a few people talking. 1/4 of people drive their journeys journey of less than 500m to work in South Yorkshire!

I've been looking into when drumlins might have formed under the last BIIS. This Irish drumlin field only matches modelled flow direction for 100 years (green) once at 20.3 ka @JeremyEly1 Adam Igneczi @annalchughes Chris Clark PalGlac

a big wey hay moment for the PalGlac Erika team, MSGL (mega scale glacial lineations) emerge in our numerical modelling of subglacial bedforms. David Stevens (TL) show us the movie. YES drumlins that become MSGL, they finally show up after 11 years of looking. Sheffield Geography

A desperately dry Glacier du Géant spotted on my return from fieldwork near Helbronner - After an exceptionally dry & warm summer you can see unusually large amounts of 'blue ice' for an elevation where you would normally expect firn snow ready to be transformed into glacial ice

Probably my favourite field of rib moraine from the BIIS!

📢 A new modelling perspective into the spatial and temporal patterns of #erosion beneath the Eurasian ice sheet during the last glacial cycle. Within the geological blink of an eye #ice had the equivalent impact of levelling Mt #Everest 500 times over! doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Surely one of the prettiest drumlin fields in Britain? I had a double take when I saw this as I use exactly the same framing in an unpublished figure I'm working on!

Sometimes ArcMap 'just doing it s own thing' doesn't look so bad. Any guesses where this is?

And we’re off! Excited to be heading into Hofsjökull with the #DRUMICE team Rebecca Schlegel Pete Tuckett @emma_c_smith Will Wenban for some GPR work thanks to MEF, the BSG and The AAC!

Just landed back in the UK after a really special 2 weeks with the #DRUMICE team in Iceland. We were using GPR to look at pro and subglacial drumlins of the Hofsjökull icecap. Rebecca Schlegel Pete Tuckett @emma_c_smith Will Wenban thanks to MEF, the BSG and The AAC!

Great day presenting at the NCL Physical Geog seminar today. Spoke about Drumlins, Erratics, Model-Data comparison and the recent Buddha Kuddha Project. Great to chat with @AntarcticGlacie Ethan Lee and Niel Ross. Now for the final push with the thesis!

Swiss #glaciers have a hard time in 2023! During the heat wave of the next days the shift to overall annual loss will already occur. Likely the second earliest date after the record-breaking year 2022. All melting from now onwards is unsustainable loss GLAMOS VAW Glaciology

Remy Veness presenting a new approach to analysing subglacial processes and drumlins using ice sheet models and statistical analyses - producing the largest dataset of drumlins compared against ice sheet observations. Really interesting work. #INQUARoma2023

With the PalGlac team, We co-organised a workshop on: Challenges and Opportunities in Model-data comparison for paleo-glacier reconstructions at University of Zurich. Very insightful event ! Thanks to everyone who attended ! Chris Clark @JeremyEly1 Rosie Archer Remy Veness Glacier model IGM
