Peek inside the backpack of a field artist - from trekking essentials to the tools of storytelling. I'll show original comic pages and field sketches, revealing how art can bridge the gap between data and emotion.

It would be super fantastic to see more nations join the ‘Ambition on Melting Ice’ at #COP30 next month!

Sweden is in. About time Denmark?

Why are there so many acorns in the UK this year? Oaks everywhere seem to have been laden with acorns. Nice to quoted when the BBC investigated!
There are lots of chestnuts too, and beech seeds in some places but not others. Happy squirrels and jays this year! 🐿🌰🌳

The Greenlandification of Antarctica - Nature Geoscience Climate and ice sheet processes in Antarctica increasingly reflect those observed earlier in Greenland. Applying process insights from Greenland can improve projections of future Antarctic ice and climate behaviour.

The Greenlandification of Antarctica showing how the #Antarctic climate is mirroring climate in #Greenland.
That's what I would call a hot topic for a cold place.

First day back in labs and our undergrads never disappoint 😄

On the left is a photograph of artist Rowan Huntley, weathering blue overalls and holding a rock. She is smiling at the camera. On the right are words ("Tea & Talk at the Polar Museum, Rowan Huntley MA, Exploring 'Through Ice and Fire'") in black against a white background, and the Polar Museum logo in blue at the bottom right.

Live in #Cambridge (UK) and fancy meeting a real artist🎨?

Come along to @scottpolar.bsky.social *this Friday 12-2pm* to chat with Rowan Huntley - about her exhibition inspired by my @bas.ac.uk science.

Waves break on a deep blue sea, which turns turquoise as it rolls up a white sand beach. Behind the beach soft green machair-covered dunes are backed by mist and blue-distant hills under a, grey-blue sky.

I've tried many times to capture the atmosphere of a Hebridean shore under a grey sky, before the morning mist has cleared. Somehow the beach and the machair still glow and the sea somehow still looks tropical. Yesterday I think I just about cracked it.

📢 10 days to go until the launch of our exhibition, Lightbulb Moments. Here’s a behind-the-scenes peek at one of our installation days!

📅 Opening on 11 September
🎟️ Free exhibition

Was really nervous about my first conference talk, but everyone had such positive feedback and asked great questions. The word "autoethnography" kept coming up and it's going into my regular vocab circulation. 😋

Thanks to @hywelgriffiths.bsky.social and @carolineclason.bsky.social for organising

Some lovely street art 😄

Some good advice for #RGSIBG25 here, e.g. this tip from Nancy on networking: “Networking can feel intimidating. I’ve found that the most valuable connections often come from casual, authentic conversations, whether during coffee breaks, poster sessions, or smaller group meetups." Well said. 👏

Another super #RGSIBG25 session: 'Art-science collaborations in the geosciences' organised by @hywelgriffiths.bsky.social & Caroline Clason. Lots of ideas to take away, things to think about for both research & teaching. And @dominoajones.bsky.social 's comics are fabulous!

There’s just two weeks to go until the British Science Festival 2025 arrives in Liverpool! 🎉

From 10 - 14 September, the city will come alive with inspiring talks, activities, performances and cutting-edge research.🔬

If you're in Birmingham for @rgsibg.bsky.social, come say hello! 😄

I'm giving a talk titled "Illustrating Wonder: Communicating Glaciology Through Comics and Visual Storytelling" featuring work from my recent trip to @tarfalaresstation.bsky.social. ⭐️

@geolassoc.bsky.social

Tarfala's 80 Year Anniversary Conference @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social has just started! Thank your our international speakers from Switzerland, Norway, Germany and UK making the first sessions really exciting! Artwork in the conference logo by @dominoajones.bsky.social

A simple invitation to an online event, the text reads "This is Geoscience" Date: 2 Septemner 2025 from 18:00, Location: The Geological Society & online, free to attend, all welcome. The text is white on a bright blue background. On the right of the text is an image of a person in cold weather gear using a shovel to break ice/snow beneath them.

On 2 September we're launching our This is Geoscience campaign to reframe public understanding of #geoscience and inspire the next generation of geoscientists ⚒️ 🧪

Join us to be amongst the first to see the report and campaign, and help share them far & wide. Free & open to all tinyurl.com/3r99dzw5

Also, what happened to Antarctica?

Last year, I connected to a supercomputer for the first time. Had my dad take a picture.

It's really moments like this that make you appreciate a whole new level of nerdiness. 😄

Big shout-outs also to three brilliant female scientists who were presented with IGS awards during the symposium... Dorthe Dahl-Jensen who received the Seligman Crystal, @icymatters.bsky.social who received the Firn Award, and @iceybethan.bsky.social who received the Richardson Medal. 🥂

Ongoing heatwave and heavy rain caused deadly flash floods and glacial lake outburst in Pakistan 2025 so far—destroying parts of Karakoram Highway, farmland, homes, and killing ~15 people. Glacier melt and high river discharge threaten more erosion in Gilgit-Baltistan.

In the span of 5 hours:
- flew in a helicopter for the first time 🕺
- encounter with 2 moose (and one of them charged at me 😅)

Definitely eventful

Capping off my trip with another hike, the views were terrific but the soaking wet boots were not
