A new Glaciers & Whatnot article is live! Let's talk about glacier slip and why its formulation is important for projecting sea level change 👇

Glacial Slip Physics: Crucial, But Never Seen
This is just some of the physics of the least understood, but most important part of glaciers

Sorry about not posting in Glaciers & Whatnot, everyone! It's been a real rough couple of weeks. I'm aim to get something posted soon!

Some might say that the subglacial environment is too complex for a universal law that relates sliding speed to basal drag. But I WANT TO BELIEVE!!!!

Read about glacier slip laws in the next Glaciers & Whatnot article coming later this week.

The NREL name change is more than that. It's an identity change, in service of Trump's DOE.

Wrist injury. I need to limit typing. But I'll try to get the next G&W article out some time this week if I can. Most of it is already done.

The A294 cave contains the world’s known oldest firn cave deposit, 6100 year old! 🧊🦇

Ice stratigraphy suggests unprecedented melting conditions since ice began to form! 🔥

Unprecedent cave ice melt in the last 6100 years in the Central Pyrenees (A294 ice cave)
Abstract. Ice caves are understudied environments within the cryosphere, hosting unique ice deposits valuable for paleoclimate studies. Recently, many of these deposits have experienced accelerated re...

How I look at my screen when reading about glacier sliding laws (there's so many and they all result in drastically different grounding line retreat scenarios)

New paper alert ! 🙂
Happy to share our new study published in The Cryosphere !
doi.org/10.5194/tc-1...
We modelled the evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet from the LGM (24 ka) to the present and learned a lot on its former history and dynamics !

We need to change the way we talk about global sea level rise. Talking in only global averages doesn't help with vulnerability and risk assessment. See the latest Glaciers & Whatnot to learn why 👇 open.substack.com/pub/glaciers...
The Uniformity Problem
Human-caused climate change is everywhere, but that doesn't mean it's the same everywhere

Calling it now. Oregon State University is going to be the next victim in Trump's campaign against academia. Hope I'm wrong.

This got me blocked by 27 people so far. Diversity of thought is punished here and that's a huge problem.
I'd argue that letting hateful people have a platform to themselves without opposition is being directly complicit with their spread. You've directly contributed the perfect echo chamber for hate and disinformation by simply leaving.
