New paper out now from Durham Glaciology PhD student @mappermundle.bsky.social! 👇❄️🥳
Great to see our new work in AGU Advances, led by @tomchudley.bsky.social, highlighted in EOS. Read more below! 👇❄️
Come find out more about research and community work by members of the Durham Glaciology Group at #EGU26! Presentations this year span palaeo reconstructions to glacier hydrology, plus an opportunity to find out more about publishing in The Cryosphere ❄️ @egu-cr.bsky.social @geogdurham.bsky.social
❄️ NEW PAPER out today led by Honary Fellow @tomchudley.bsky.social alongside others in the group.
Tom's paper explores the role of seasonal varations in ice dynamics for the drainange of surface meltwater through crevasses on Store Glacier, Greenland agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
New paper out today from Durham Glaciology member Lauren Gill! Lauren's interdisciplinary PhD is exploring how processes and change in glacial environments impact the preservation and analysis of human remains. ❄️🌡️🦴 @geogdurham.bsky.social @arcdurham.bsky.social

It’s not just how much glaciers are melting that matters—when and how meltwater makes its way to the ocean are also important.
A new study shows that seasonal changes in the forces that stretch and squeeze ice play a big role in when glacial water is released. 🧊🧪 eos.org/research-spo...

Really enjoyed contributing to this week's UNESCO World Day for Glaciers activities in Paris. ❄️ My colleagues and I hosted a side event on "Cryosphere in Crisis: Pathways for a Safe and Just Future" and introduced our new @iacscryo.bsky.social working group on Cryosphere Stewardship. 🌎💧🫶 (1/2)
Down at the APPG Polar Regions meeting at Westminster yesterday to discuss UK research in Greenland. Thanks to Kelly Hogan and George Freeman MP for the invite. @geogdurham.bsky.social @bas.ac.uk
Our new review paper is now out in Reviews of Geophysics! 🎉
We present the first comprehensive review of the role of sea ice and ice mélange in influencing outlet glacier dynamics across both polar regions ❄️

Seasonal changes in the forces that pull and push ice play a major role in when meltwater runs through glaciers and into the ocean.
I'm looking foward to heading to Paris next week to celebrate the World Day for Glaciers and World Water Day 2026, with events taking place online and in-person at UNESCO HQ. I'll be speaking about resource security in a side event on 'Cryosphere in Crisis: Pathways for a Safe and Just Future' (1/3)
📃 The first paper from my PhD has just been published in JGR: Earth Surface, detailing insights into Arctic glacial history from morphometry and machine learning.❄️ 🛰️
