Huge thank you to @duncanquincey.bsky.social, @nickyrkerr.bsky.social and Nawraj Khanal for their help in the field.
And to our funders who made it possible @rgsibg.bsky.social, @mef-official.bsky.social, @bsg-geomorph.bsky.social and @water.leeds.ac.uk 🙌
Thrilled to share I passed my PhD viva last month with minor corrections! 🥳
Huge thanks to my examiners @dougbenn.bsky.social and @peatbloke.bsky.social for the thoughtful and challenging discussion.
This marks the end 3.5 years of icy adventures (and hopefully the start of many more to come!) ❄️

We obtained the first dataset of ice-contact lake physical conditions in the Himalaya throughout the critical monsoon and glacier melt season ⬇️

Lake surface temperatures exceeded 9°C at the surface, and were consistently warmer close to the glacier front, driven by convection
