This 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! 🏅❄️

On 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 🐶)!

Holiday in the climate emergency. No that’s not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.

I first bought my Mantas in 2009. They've been like old friends, keeping my toes toasty on glaciers from Arctic Sweden to Greenland. They're stained with rhodamine, beaten up from miles on ice, rock, and debris, and have earned their retirement after 17 years. Let's hope my new pair last as long! 🙏

❓Can citizen science do more than generate data? New research led by @carolineclason.bsky.social assesses the value of crowd-sourced mapping of glaciers in the Peruvian Andes, and highlights that it can be a powerful tool for enhancing climate and spatial literacy! 🗺️ doi.org/10.1177/0309...

We also reflected on how spending time in natural landscapes influences our experience of running, and the steps we can take to promote ethical adventure under a changing climate, which was a great excuse to introduce participants to @thegreenrunners.bsky.social Runners too! 🌿 (3/4)

The race course includes running alongside the largest glacier in the Alps - the Aletsch Glacier, so in the workshop we explored glacier change and its impacts in Switzerland and around the world, and discussed what glaciers can teach us about endurance and building a solid base! ❄️🏃‍♀️ (2/4)

An interesting insight into why UKRI calls often have short timescales. I'm working towards a ridiculously tight deadline now, and wonder whether there is also an element of "demand management" here, where less time = fewer applications for UKRI to handle? Either way, it's not fair on applicants.
