Monsoon and Glacial Meltwater Input Drive Seasonal Cooling of a Himalayan Ice‐Contact Lake Lake surface temperatures exceeded 9Β°C at the surface, and were consistently warmer close to the glacier front, driven by convection Monsoon-specific meteorological conditions and input of glacia...

After two field expeditions and one year in the making, very pleased to share my second paper from my PhD is now published! ⛰️

We obtained the first dataset of ice-contact lake physical conditions in the Himalaya throughout the critical monsoon and glacier melt season ⬇️

Thrilled to share I passed my PhD viva last month with minor corrections! πŸ₯³

Huge thanks to my examiners @dougbenn.bsky.social and @peatbloke.bsky.social for the thoughtful and challenging discussion.

This marks the end 3.5 years of icy adventures (and hopefully the start of many more to come!) ❄️

Time-lapse trail cameras… not just for wildlife! πŸ“Έ

Chuffed to share this Tools of the Trade article in @natrevearthenv.bsky.social, highlighting how we can capture glacier calving to better understand rates and drivers of ice loss.
