It was particularly great to discuss and debate the ins and outs of geomorphology, cosmogenic dating, and modellling with my fellow ‘Carpathologists’ (😆), and enjoy the exquisite food and wine of the Banat region in southwest Romania. Great to see a conference of such scale hosted back home! 2/2

… and chat to colleagues, who were fascinated by the spectacular landscapes and hospitality of the Romanian culture😉. Many thanks go to Prof. Petru Urdea & co at West University of Timișoara for organising this trip ahead of the Regional Conference on Geomorphology (part of IAG) in Timişoara. 2/2

Thank you, Holly!You've been a great cheerleader and source of inspiration throughout! You're next, looking forward to seeing you gowned!😉

...colleagues of all career stages and paths. It was the place where I found my career calling, where I've learned to think critically, but also to value different opinions and become open-minded. While moving on, I will alway cherish my first academic home! Thank you, everyone, thank you, Durham!💜

I look forward to presenting my upcoming work of applying a similar approach in the Central European uplands, as part of my current postdoc at @charlesuni.cuni.cz . Watch this space and see you soon! 7/7

It has been a pleasure to catch up with colleagues old and new, and keep up with what is new and exciting in the Quaternary Science/Geomorphology/Glaciology communities and more! 6/7

Therefore, this work highlights the importance of integrating field and modelling evidence to reconstruct past glaciation and climate during the Quaternary. 5/7

The model further recreates physical ice properties (ice thickness, velocity and temperature) that may enhance previous interpretations derived from field evidence, such as limited glacial erosion under thin, slow, cold-based ice, inferred from areas with inherited cosmogenic nuclides. 4/7

We found that the LGM climate would have had to be significantly colder (-5°C to -8°C) and drier (45٪ to 15٪ of present-day precipitation) than at present to match field evidence. 3/7

Part of my completed PhD at @geogdurham.bsky.social , this work primarily explores potential temperature and precipitation deviations from present-day that would be needed to grow glaciers to field evidence (I.e., dated moraines) of their former extents during the last deglaciation. 2/7

Deadline for applications: 25th March, 2025.

Start date: 1st October 2025.

Candidates should send their applications, consisting of a motivation letterand CV, to: margold@natur.cuni.cz 
Informal inquiries are also welcome. 7/7

They will join an active and diverse international research
group in which the working language is English, and principles of equality, diversity and inclusion are part of everyday practice.  The position will offer competitive remuneration, allowing for a good standard of living in Prague. 6/7

The project will be supervised by Martin Margold at Charles University. Knowledge of glacial geomorphology mapping, quantitative dating methods and field experience are an advantage, as well as maths fluency, coding skills,
GIS expertise, and lab experience. 5/7
