Big thank you to my stellar supervisory team @geomorphmark.bsky.social, @duncanquincey.bsky.social, Liam Taylor and Jonathan Carrivick, and to @panorama-dtp.bsky.social!

Very happy to share the first paper of my PhD, out now in @commsearth.nature.com!
Looking across the Greenland Ice Sheet, we found that glaciers flowing into lakes are up to 3.3 times faster than glaciers terminating on land š§

At #EGU25 this week, where Iāll be sharing work on the velocity response of outlet glaciers to ice-marginal lakes across Greenland. If youāre interested in glaciers and lakes, come and have a chat!

Join us water@leeds talking about glaciology, remote sensing, hydrology, geomorphology, hazards, and ecology for World Day for Glacier and World Water Day. 21 March 13:00-14:30 GMT. Register here: events.teams.microsoft.com/event/3ed65f...
Iām delighted to share that our new paper is now out in @natclimate.nature.com! Our long-term, monthly Antarctic-wide dataset of surface meltwater shows that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is becoming increasingly prone to surface meltwater ponding.
Time-lapse trail camerasā¦ not just for wildlife! šø
Chuffed to share this Tools of the Trade article in @natrevearthenv.bsky.social, highlighting how we can capture glacier calving to better understand rates and drivers of ice loss.

Huge thanks to @joemallalieu.bsky.social (who masterminded this method) and to the rest of the cam deployment crew (Inc. @alexscoffield.bsky.social, @petetuckett.bsky.social &
@dmrippin.bsky.social) for their in-field help over the summer.
Light reading for half term!
In The emerging importance of ice-marginal lakes across Greenland, @ConnieHarpur and colleagues outline recent advances in our understanding of lakeāglacier interactions across Greenland during the past, present and future and key priorities.
