Did the midnight ☀️ bleach into the sub-surface of rocks in the Arctic? Following our OSL dating of cobbles from moraines in the Tibetan Plateau (doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...) we are applying this technique to moraines in the Lyngen Alps (Lyngsfjellan / Ittuvárit), Troms, Arctic Norway @rhewlif.xyz

When was that moraine created??
Luminescence ages from the sub-surface of cobbles, collected from moraines in the Konglongluo Valley, Tibetan Plateau, agree with external age control!
Do get in touch if interested in this new moraine-dating technique!!

Very late on the uptake, but great to see our British-Irish ice sheet extents illustrated in this BBC article alongside the ever-fantastic work by @jdkirkham.bsky.social

Iceberg tracks found off UK coast could shed light on Antarctica
Deep tracks gouged in the seafloor off the coast of Scotland could help us understand Antarctica today.
