Telling people that I spent last Thursday evening in a cellar full of hooks and cool people has led to some follow‑up questions I hadn’t anticipated… 👀 Such a useful book! Happy to be there to celebrate the launch.

Look what arrived: Just bought two original hand-painted prints from Møns and Stevns Cliffs, Denmark, from 1851. These are photorealistic, made in collaboration by some of the best artists and scientists of the era.

3D-print demonstrating a rotational landslide at it simplest. Amazing how much you can actually communicate with such a simple model: Rotation, self-stabilization etc.

Working towards making more complex models and share the blueprints so they can be used in outreach.

The Semper Crevasses project is keeping us busy on the ice sheet this week! Here's the view into one of Greenland's newest crevasses, which has opened in recent months at 2000 m elevation above sea-level about 100 km inland from Ilulissat Glacier front.

Memorable day yesterday at #ACSSpring2025
Even when I see the award citation, it is still hard to believe we have gotten this far with valorizing arsenic ... The next step? #semiconductors from #arsenic laden waste
Thanks ES&T for the motivation to continue this work
