Last week, I attended the @ukpolarnetwork.bsky.social's PolarSTEP field course. Given that we learnt about the importance of social media in science comms (and that I have more to share than 250 characters worth!), I've made a snazzy slide deck to share what we got up to. Check it out below (1/2):

I’m at Trinity College in Oxford this week for the @igsoc.bsky.social British Branch meeting. I’ve been presenting the research plan for my upcoming chapters, and have enjoyed seeing familiar faces and meeting new people in the cryosphere community. Baylie the college cat is also a highlight! 🐱

I’ve been at this year’s annual @cpom-uk.bsky.social meeting this week, where I’ve had the opportunity to share what I’ve been working on during my first year. It’s been great to see familiar faces again and hear what everyone has been up to.

Kicking off September conference season with @ukpolarnetwork.bsky.social’s UK Arctic Science conference at @northumbriauni.bsky.social this week. Had a great time listening to how ECRs can contribute to the upcoming International Polar Year and why it’s important that we get involved!

The imprint of human-induced climate change is evident in the WMO #StateOfClimate report.

Commenting on the report, Professor Stephen Belcher, Met Office Chief Scientist emphasised that many indicators of our changing climate are triggering serious warnings.

If you missed it, the @unesconow.bsky.social Groundwater Youth Network “Groundwater in Glacier Regions and Youth Participation” panel is now online! Find it here: youtu.be/_nuiLqOJF_8?...

We have lost 8200 km3 of global glacier ice since 1976. The International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation, led by @wmo-global.bsky.social &
@unesconow.bsky.social, aims to raise awareness & advocate action to mitigate the consequences of glacier melt.

Really enjoyed being part of today's panel for the @unesconow.bsky.social Groundwater Youth Network's event about glacier-groundwater interactions and youth involvement! Always interesting to hear about different scientific and social perspectives on glacier preservation globally.

Enjoying watching @cpom-uk.bsky.social's @icewicks.bsky.social's excellent contribution to a panel as part of the launch of the UNESCO International Year of Glaciers' Preservation. Impressed supervisor moment (and some bonus promotion for SLIDE project too!)

I’m excited to share that I’m a panel member for the @unesconow.bsky.social Groundwater Youth Network’s side event for the International Year of Glacier’ Preservation 2025, “Groundwater in Glacier Regions and Youth Participation”. Find more info here: www.un-glaciers.org/en/articles/...

The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period.

More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements, made by thousands of people over many decades, have been condensed into a single number.

Here's the link to a guest article I wrote just before Christmas on firn and meltwater for AntarcticGlaciers - looking forward to contributing more in the future!
