Made it to Tarfala! 😍 I'm spending the first week exploring this beautiful landscape and learning from the researchers, looking at the valley through their eyes. What do they notice? What do they find interesting?

It was great to welcome @dominoajones.bsky.social (PhD student in glaciology) to our Tate Hall! Domino shared their comic sketches and field notes, and explained how they look at data from the Vikings and ice cores for their studies!
Loved presenting my work on science storytelling and arctic comics! 🏔🌼❄️

"Was I meant to know this?"

Many students say this to me when we're working on a practical. It's a sign that students feel an expectation to excel from the get-go. In reality, they aren't expected to be perfect or know how to do everything. After all, this is a school and they're here to learn.

⛅️ Tuesday, 11am - 1pm
🏛 Victorial Museum and Gallery

Peek inside the backpack of a field artist - from trekking essentials to the tools of storytelling. I'll show original comic pages and field sketches, revealing how art can bridge the gap between data and emotion.

It would be super fantastic to see more nations join the ‘Ambition on Melting Ice’ at #COP30 next month!

Sweden is in. About time Denmark?

Why are there so many acorns in the UK this year? Oaks everywhere seem to have been laden with acorns. Nice to quoted when the BBC investigated!
There are lots of chestnuts too, and beech seeds in some places but not others. Happy squirrels and jays this year! 🐿🌰🌳

New paper in @natgeosci.nature.com
The Greenlandification of Antarctica showing how the #Antarctic climate is mirroring climate in #Greenland.
That's what I would call a hot topic for a cold place.
The study was lead by @ruthmottram.bsky.social

The Greenlandification of Antarctica - Nature Geoscience
Climate and ice sheet processes in Antarctica increasingly reflect those observed earlier in Greenland. Applying process insights from Greenland can improve projections of future Antarctic ice and climate behaviour.

I've tried many times to capture the atmosphere of a Hebridean shore under a grey sky, before the morning mist has cleared. Somehow the beach and the machair still glow and the sea somehow still looks tropical. Yesterday I think I just about cracked it.

Was really nervous about my first conference talk, but everyone had such positive feedback and asked great questions. The word "autoethnography" kept coming up and it's going into my regular vocab circulation. 😋

Thanks to @hywelgriffiths.bsky.social and @carolineclason.bsky.social for organising

Some good advice for #RGSIBG25 here, e.g. this tip from Nancy on networking: “Networking can feel intimidating. I’ve found that the most valuable connections often come from casual, authentic conversations, whether during coffee breaks, poster sessions, or smaller group meetups." Well said. 👏
With our Annual Conference just days away, we’re sharing a few top tips from our colleagues at @globalsouthshub.bsky.social on getting the most out of the experience: http://bit.ly/4fzye96.

In keeping with this year’s theme, creativity is one of the best strategies!

Another super #RGSIBG25 session: 'Art-science collaborations in the geosciences' organised by @hywelgriffiths.bsky.social & Caroline Clason. Lots of ideas to take away, things to think about for both research & teaching. And @dominoajones.bsky.social 's comics are fabulous!
