@durhamglaciology.bsky.socialThoroughly enjoyed speaking at this week's @rgs.org Monday night lecture. The event highlighted some of the key findings of our recent UK National Commission for UNESCO report on "Glaciers and ice sheets in a warming world: impacts and outcomes"
Show PostThis week, @daveroberts2026.bsky.social received his Polar Medal from the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle. This award recognises Dave's long-standing contributions to the development of knowledge of the Arctic, and particularly the evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Congratulations Dave! 🏅❄️
Show PostOn the drive back after a great week of field teaching in Iceland - a wonderful but fast-changing environment where our students can really get to grips with glacier processes and associated landforms like nowhere else on Earth. An excellent trip (much improved by the addition of a doggy mascot 🐶)!
Show PostDurham researchers have been in Oslo this week for the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) meeting. They've been sharing their latest research and joining international discussions on the past, present, and future of Antarctica, from its ice and landscape to its oceans and life. 🐧❄️🏔️
Show PostCongratulations @hollywytia.bsky.social who successfully defended her PhD yesterday (thanks to examiners @mikebentley.bsky.social & @dmrippin.bsky.social)! 🥳 It was a pleasure to supervise Holly's work on "Rivers on ice: the distribution & evolution of supraglacial channels on mountain glaciers"! ❄️
