Our new blog is a story of the wonders of ice 🥶 and how we can explore the secret world beneath it! @robstorrar.bsky.social explains the SLIDE project, which is contributing to our understanding of #climatechange by studying the fate of Greenland's hidden lakes

As the start of term becomes imminent, it is nice to reflect on good times had and sights seen on fieldwork in Greenland over the summer (and sneaking gratuitous pictures into lectures). Excited to explore data about subglacial lakes.
