Wow check out this lovely paper, ice flow and deglacial reconstruction and -gold dust- new dates on ice retreat in central Ireland, a long term blank on the map

Time is running out, get those abstracts in now!

#GAC-MACis in St. John's this year! Sign up for our short course and submit an abstract to our session focusing on glacial landscapes from "the core to the shore"! and everything in between. Submit abstracts and sign up here: lnkd.in/gMKw6S_a

Antarctic ice sheet folk, I'm looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Antarctic Ice Sheet Reconstruction [readvertised] for a 3.5yr appointment in Tasmania. Very flexible start date!

Join our new team, figuring out what is happening and what may happen in East Antarctica. 1/4

..and if you are interested in new mapping of aqueous and terrestrial ice margin positions of the last Scandinavian Ice Sheet then Dulfer et al in 'Geomorphology' has just landed. Again, data galore for comparsion with ice sheet modelling

Drumlins, flow-sets recording shifting ice flow patterns over Scandinavia, and constraining migration of the ice sheet's main divide. Check out our new paper (Butcher et al 2026) in Boreas. Masses of data downlands available

Beautiful (but dangerous?) moraine-dammed lakes.

Stratigraphic evidence for modern‐like glacier extents in south‐central Alaska within the last glacial period (MIS 3) The last (Wisconsinan) glacial period was punctuated in North America by two glacial maxima, known as the Early and Late Wisconsinan glaciations. In Alaska, these maxima and their subsequent retreats...

Belotti et al investigate the glacial history of the Chitina Valley in south-central Alaska. They find that there was a retreat of the glaciers/ice caps in that region to present-day extend during parts of MIS 3. doi.org/10.1111/bor....

New paper alert ! 🙂
Happy to share our new study published in The Cryosphere !

We modelled the evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet from the LGM (24 ka) to the present and learned a lot on its former history and dynamics !

The southernmost glacier in Norway is about to extinct soon! 😰

Breifonn was not exactly a small glacier at the end of the LIA (6 km²).
But only scattered patches totalising 0.15 km² remain today, meaning disappearance in the next few years... 😱

Congratulations Dr Kaitlin Naughten on receiving the EGU Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists!

Her work has transformed understanding of Antarctic ice-shelf melt and future sea-level rise.

She says, “It was a lovely surprise to hear that I'd won this prestigious award."

Melting Glaciers in the Himalayas Feed Lakes That Threaten Towns Below (Gift Article) Melting ice from the Himalayas is creating thousands of unstable lakes, a growing menace to towns and cities below.

YouTube video by Arctic Circle Is the AMOC Shutting Down? - Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

The risk of an #AMOC shutdown - explained in 15 minutes at the Arctic Circle in Reykjavik on Saturday.
I had the honor of presenting a letter by 44 experts warning of that underestimated risk to the Icelandic 🇮🇸 climate minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson.

That was a fab symposium on ice streams, thank you and very well done to the hosts. We also had dinner in a castle and got see Hadrian’s wall and drumlins and sheep and joke about Barnard Castle, oh and some very nice pubs

Have fun. And me too as well

Mountain Stability in the Mont Blanc Massif - Summer 2022 Mountain Stability in the Mont Blanc Massif -  Summer 2022 What follows is a summary of a discussion/Q&A that was organised by IFMGA guide Martin Elias on behalf of Chamonix Experience in early August...

In light of high temperatures and recent collapses in the Alps, we're resharing our 2022 piece from geomorphologist Ludovic Ravanel on mountain stability in the Mont Blanc Massif.

Despite being 3 years old, it contains evergreen advice on warning signs of collapse and areas to avoid in the heat.

Was Scotland covered by an ice sheet during Marine Isotope Stage 4? Insights from the pre‐Last Glacial Maximum marine terraces of northwest Scotland Raised shorelines provide important constraints on past sea levels, glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), and rates and directions of vertical crustal motion. Although most raised shorelines across NW ....

Simms et al present an investigation of a MIS 3 (~50 ka) raised shoreline deposit in northwestern Scotland. Since it is located above present day sea level, if the age is correct, it implies a significant MIS 4 glaciation of Scotland. ⚒️🧪🦣 doi.org/10.1002/jqs....

What ancient ice sheets can tell us about future sea level rise When ice gets trapped on land as giant ice sheets, it causes the sea level to change, but it doesn’t change by the same amount all around the planet.
