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.
Continent-wide mapping shows increasing sensitivity of East Antarctica to meltwater ponding - Nature Climate Change
This study provides a continent-wide assessment of surface meltwater area in Antarctica between 2006 and 2021, highlighting recent increases in magnitude and variability in East Antarctica, with indic...

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.

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.

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.
