At #BACO2025. Lots of good, exciting research. Super happy a former student from the #ESADragon 2023 training programme in Xining came to say hi
delighted to announce Geolitix - cloud based platform for GPR processing - are our first platinum sponsor for #GPR2026, thanks to Jan Francke.

Today my PhD student Caitlin and I were going through models (agent based and continuum) of the physics of swimming microalgae 🦠. Caitlin's investigating the movement of motile microalgae in snow ❄️ in collaboration with Mel Sandells, Matt Davey and Xanthella. #microswimmers #cryosphere #OnePlanetDTP
🐇 Today’s #haiku:
Tiny marks unfold,
veiled trails through white stillness curve -
paths where none have been
Inspired by rabbit footprints left in the morning's snow - each step a story, each pause a mystery.

Wishing the Elsevier editors who desk-accepted this all the best for their next career moves.

Small differences that make a really big difference.
We have a new paper just out this week on Greenland ice sheet projections of melt and runoff. "With identical forcing, Greenland Ice Sheet surface mass balance from 3 regional climate models shows a two-fold difference by 2100" In this post I go…
It's only right that my first post here is sharing Scotland's map of named ice gritters. You can follow where they all are in real-time.
Some favourites this year:

#uksnow in RG1. A few wet flakes. 1/10. #EnoughToMakeAGrownManWhoop
Have you seen the hydrology climate stripes?
If not you might have missed the yearly WMO report on the state of water resources. Take a look: wmo.int/publication-...
For those who already know the report, there now also is a higher resolution version available!

A quick reminder on how to contribute to uksnowmap.com ahead of any possible #uksnow tomorrow 👀
Post with the hashtag #uksnow, the first-half of your postcode, and a snow rating x/10 and help draw a real-time map of where it is snowing in the UK.
Ah Reading, it’s been a while. Of course, no university travel experience is complete without spending 2 hours negotiating with the travel management company to get into the hotel they’ve booked and supposedly paid for but you still have to fork out twice the price for. #UnexpectedlyWayOutOfPolicy

Today in relatable science: Gulls making a mysterious daily trip that turned out to be to a potato chip factory
Hello new, wonderful Blueskyers! In case you're wondering who I am, I spend most of my time thinking about glaciers and ice sheets past, present and future, currently mainly through satellite and field based remote sensing. Also very interested in how to get the science that we do communicated to...
This winter's snow forecast is bleak, but even worse, the last thirty years has seen a major loss of snow throughout the United States compared to the twentieth century. Global warming is wiping out glaciers, ice caps, and snow.

Oh it’s nothing. Just some snow in Saudi Arabia for the first time ever.
Who needs a baby bear catching snow flakes break?
