After two field expeditions and one year in the making, very pleased to share my second paper from my PhD is now published! ⛰️
We obtained the first dataset of ice-contact lake physical conditions in the Himalaya throughout the critical monsoon and glacier melt season ⬇️

🚨Funding for 2yr postdoc w/ me & @geocron.bsky.social on landslide-tsunami-jökulhlaup project, but (this is the ridiculous part) I need to select someone NOW or I lose the $. If you're NOT in Canada (can be any nationality) and interested, send me your CV and transcripts by midnight MT, June 12. 🧪⚒️

These glaciers had been pretty stable over the last few decades, and even growing slightly in some cases, but this most recent study indicates that summer heatwaves across the region have more than offset winter snowfalls, leading to a quadrupling of mass loss in the last few years 🥵
The #artemis balloons sure do look like Tunnocks teacakes
📻🎙️I’ll be on BBC 5 Live just after 13:30 today talking to Naga Munchetty and Chris Smith about the recent reversal in fortunes of glaciers in the Pamir Mountains as reported in this recent paper:

Interviewed yesterday on @bbc5live.bsky.social about glacier shrinkage in the Pamir mountains, central Asia. An area that, up to just a few years ago, had been characterised by relative glacier stability and even growth ❄️🤒 Even these last stalwarts now falling in line with global trend of shrinkage
