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 🧊 www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Ice-marginal proglacial lakes enhance outlet glacier velocities across Greenland - Communications Earth & Environment
Lake-terminating glaciers across Greenland flow more rapidly at their termini, with 44% showing down-ice accelerations, and with greater accelerations associated with larger lakes, according to analys...

I’m 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 cameras… not just for wildlife! 📸 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. 📖 rdcu.be/eaj20 @envleeds.bsky.social @yes-dtn.bsky.social

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 lake−glacier interactions across Greenland during the past, present and future and key priorities. Link: the-ga.org/GeogJourn

It’s #WomenInScience Day 🔬🧊🛰️👩‍🔬 I’m so fortunate to have a brilliant network of inspiring women to look up to in polar science and beyond. Gender equality is a work in progress- let’s make sure that science is for everyone.

A new special issue of Science highlights research on Earth’s frozen places—from the Arctic to the Antarctic—and how it’s changing due to climate change and the geopolitical challenges this important work faces. Learn more: scim.ag/4jPYRID
Climate change in the polar regions of our warming world is threatening to transform many of its features, such as this icy tableau in the Fish Islands off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. There is still much to learn about these places before we know better what those changes may be.
