Left high and dry, this former glacial meltwater channel was carved into the Sidlaw Hills just north of Dundee by the last ice sheet to occupy this region ~20,000 years ago. It’s one of several that i’ve been mapping with students & colleagues over the last couple of years.

❄️🇺🇳 It’s the UN International Day of Glacier Preservation, so here’s a video of some shrinking glaciers in Iceland 🇮🇸

The Red Castle of Lunan Bay, Angus 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

15th century castle, though there’s been a structure here since the 12th century (…according to wikipedia)

You can see part of the beach frozen in the background 🥶❄️

👋 new followers!

I mostly post about the impacts of climate change on glacial & mountain regions.

I variously describe myself as a glaciologist, geomorphologist, geographer, geologist, natural hazard scientist. Take your pick!

I’m also on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok usually under glacio_cook
