Tidewater glacier calving events inspire awe and remind us to be humble. Turns out they also stir up fjord waters and amplify melt. New paper "Calving as a Source of Acute and Persistent Kinetic Energy to Enhance Submarine Melting..." ❤️glaciology agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Jane Goodall inspired so many of us. I was fortunate to get to stand next to her as she won a lifetime achievement award from Wings Women of Discovery at the same ceremony I won their Earth Award. Thank you @wingswod.bsky.social ❤️

If you are in Portland this week, visit the Blackfish Gallery to see Myra Clark's Antarctic artwork.
And especially come this Friday Aug 22 at 5:30pm to hear Myra and I have a conversation about art and science in Antarctica.

Hello World. I never get bored of glaciers - humble, yet bold, and more.
