Our @alexandrazuhr.bsky.social is back in Antarctica! 🐧
Currently, she is maintaining ApRES systems near Neumayer station and preparing for the traverse to Kohnen station in a few days. Stay tuned for more updates from her field season! ❄️

Dear All, enjoy your coffee in the morning and congratulations to @leahsmuhle.bsky.social from @unituebingen.bsky.social for winning the Outstanding Student and PhD Presentation Award at EGU 2025!

By the way, Priestley Glacier as seen from this ridge is one of the nicest spots of Antarctica

A challenging combination of flexure modelling and satellite interferometry to understand the dynamic of shear zones near Antarctic grounding zones led by Christian Wild tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/...

Another successful mapping course in the Italian Apennines with @terra-cluster.org PIs Norton, Glotzbach & Drews from @unituebingen.bsky.social ! An amazing experience with motivated students combining geological mapping and geophysics.

Moreover, the firn also exhibits a vertical anisotropy. We were surprised about how strong that signal was

Common-midpoint radar polarimetry by @oraschewski.bsky.social in Geophysical Research Letters. This can be a promising method to observationally constrain the anisotropic ice rheology in the field
July 16, 2025 at 1:44 PM
Second, we can use this calibrated model to learn more about the anisotropic rheology of ice across various flow regimes (doi.org/10.1017/jog....)

Double progress in ice-rise modeling by @clarahenry.bsky.social. First we are now able to model ice rises and surrounding ice shelves in 3D and link it with radar stratigraphy to obtain area-wide age-depth estimates ( doi.org/10.1029/2024...)

Very nice 100 km relay race st @unituebingen.bsky.social with a mixed team of geophysics, geology and climate sciences finishing in the top ten ! Nice to see so many teams including @ml4science.bsky.social

One key finding is that many pinning points are surrounded by local meteoric only, hence these buttressing relevant areas are particularly sensitive to atmospheric/oceanographic changes

Ice Rises and Ice Anisotropy in 3D by @clarahenry.bsky.social in doi.org/10.1017/jog..... This is another step forward for including a more nuanced ice rheology in ice-flow models.

This is a new way to infer the ice-ocean/ice-atmosphere interactions over the last centuries that we can hopefully transfer to other ice shelves as well

Today at #EGU2025 with @leahsmuhle.bsky.social, using radar to infer temperature profiles with simulation based inference at PICO 5.8.
May 1, 2025 at 6:36 AM
Nice talk by @Alexandrazuhr.bsky.social at #EGU2025 about the surface mass balance history in East Antarctica. Do we see an increase in surface accumulation rates in the last decades? I think we do. This would at least be one component that buffers against sea level rise

Vertical infiltration or lateral runoff ? Check out Anne Hermann‘s poster at #EGU2025 on HS8.3.1 and learn about the role of ice lenses and snow cover for aquifer recharge (or lack thereof)
April 29, 2025 at 6:51 PM
Today at #EGU2025 a nice PICO by Julius Konietzko showing results of terrestrial radar interferometry at Grenzgletscher at PICO 5.6 in the afternoon session:
April 29, 2025 at 8:54 AM
Interested in subglacial landforms and sediment deformation? Tomorrow is your day at #EGU2025 . First a talk by @lzoet.bsky.social & Schlegel in GM9.4 and then head over to see Schlegel & @lzoet.bsky.social in PICO CR6.2
April 27, 2025 at 8:27 PM
“Turning the Tide” Christian Wild will show first results from terrestrial radar interferometry at Priestley Glacier. If you want to see “true” (i.e. not differential) tidal displacement stop by his poster at #EGU2025 CR2.4 (10:45, Monday)

Today a mug from the famous Radioglaciology meeting in Stanford (2019). I’m order to get new mugs we will host the next Radioglaciology conference in Tübingen 2026!

Our @alexandrazuhr.bsky.social showed more than 400 school kids during the Geoshow Unterirdisch at @unituebingen.bsky.social what ice core drilling and life as a researcher in Antarctica looks like 👩‍🔬❄️

We were there to support her and also learned a lot about volcanoes and deep sea drilling 🌋⛴️
March 14, 2025 at 2:55 PM
We also made it to BlueSky!
Follow us to learn more about our work on ice sheets and glaciers ❄️
