It's been a great first two days hosting the @igsoc.bsky.social symposium on ice streams and outlet glaciers. We've had excellent talks & posters spanning both contemporary and palaeo glaciology, and a sunny icebreaker in the courtyard of Durham Castle. ❄️🥂 Looking forward to tomorrow's excursion!

A Reassessment of the Role of Atmospheric and Oceanic Forcing on Ice Dynamics at Jakobshavn Isbræ (Sermeq Kujalleq), Ilulissat Icefjord
The recent deceleration, thickening and advance of Greenland's largest outlet glacier, Jakobshavn Isbræ, was short-lived (2016–2018) The onset of re-acceleration preceded oceanic warming and was ...

Our new paper is out in Nature Geoscience! In an ice-sheet-wide 3-D inventory of crevasses in 2016 and 2021, we find that crevasses are growing in response to ice acceleration on short timescales. @durham-university.bsky.social @byrdpolar.bsky.social @leverhulme.bsky.social

Increased crevassing across accelerating Greenland Ice Sheet margins - Nature Geoscience
Greenland-wide observations of crevasse volume and distribution suggest substantial increases in crevassing between 2016 and 2021 at marine-terminating sectors with accelerating ice flow.

Between 2018 and 2021, KIV Steenstrup Nordre Bræ in Greenland retreated 7 km and quadrupled in velocity. It's now in the top 10% of glaciers contributing to Greenland's discharge. Our new paper in Nature Comms: @ByrdPolar @Michalea_King @PolarScience_UW

Top result when Googling 'galloping glaciers' is a Creationist website filled with inaccuracies. Sure, it's an (archaic) popular term rather than technical - but surely all the more reason for Google to be providing reliable search results for the interested public?
