Geraint Jenkins @gthjenkins.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Excited to be spending ~ 3 months in the Arctic Circle at The Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø, Centre for ice, Cryosphere, Carbon and Climate next year! We will collect cobbles from the Lyngen Alps (Lyngsfjellan / Ittuvárit) for OSL dating & plan future sampling in Greenland! 040

Gowan @evangowan.bsky.social · 24/05/2026If you happen to be at the JpGU-AGU meeting in Chiba, my talk is going to be tomorrow (May 25) at 11:45 in the Paleoclimatology and paleoceanography session. Topic: "An investigation of the evolution of the North American ice sheets through glacial cycles". 083

Geraint Jenkins @gthjenkins.bsky.social · 15/09/2025Did the midnight ☀️ bleach into the sub-surface of rocks in the Arctic? Following our OSL dating of cobbles from moraines in the Tibetan Plateau (doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...) we are applying this technique to moraines in the Lyngen Alps (Lyngsfjellan / Ittuvárit), Troms, Arctic Norway @rhewlif.xyz 🏔️❄️🌈🌞 082
Geraint Jenkins @gthjenkins.bsky.social · 07/09/2025When was that moraine created?? Luminescence ages from the sub-surface of cobbles, collected from moraines in the Konglongluo Valley, Tibetan Plateau, agree with external age control! Do get in touch if interested in this new moraine-dating technique!! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 0124
Geraint Jenkins @gthjenkins.bsky.social · 29/08/2025Very late on the uptake, but great to see our British-Irish ice sheet extents illustrated in this BBC article alongside the ever-fantastic work by @jdkirkham.bsky.social For the full article of ice-extents and timings, see here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 0113
