Between 2018 and 2021, KIV Steenstrup Nordre Bræ in East Greenland retreated 7 km and quadrupled (!!) in velocity. Read our new preprint >>

New article from the @ERC_RESPONDER team! We present observations of a supraglacial lake drainage in a fast-flowing sector of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Read it in PNAS -

🚨 New Paper 🚨 We show how you can use #UAVs to extract high-resolution velocity fields of glaciers and ice sheets with no ground control! #dronesforscience

Available #OpenAccess in @EGU_TC with thanks to @ERC_RESPONDER @CambridgeESS

#UAV orthophoto of @ERC_RESPONDER 2018 basecamp at Store Glacier, Greenland. Camp is affectionately (and appropriately) named 'Lakeside', visible as orange dots on right. #dronesforgood

More @ERC_RESPONDER results from Samuel Cool at #IGSBBM2018 - modelling subglacial hydrology at Store Glacier. Integrating data and modelling! @igsbbm2018

Excellent week in Oban on the @NERCscience #UAV training course. Flying, robotic theory, and operations advice. Looking forward to put into practice! #dronesforgood

Tomorrow we begin flying to Greenland for the 2018 @ERC_RESPONDER summer field campaign! Here's the latest look at our field site at Store Glacier, taken yesterday courtesy of #Sentinel2. Fingers crossed we can catch the western lake before it drains...

Looking forward to sharing work at #EGU2018 today! Learn how we created this high-res ice velocity map: poster X2.55, 1730-1900.

I'm also a co-author on Antonio Abellan's talk on glaciers and point clouds: room N2, 13:30-14:00.

Great day learning about #scicomm #infographics from the #infohackit workshop - here's our effort! @bruce_steel @chowlandf1 #CEEDA2018

Opportunities to join our group () investigating fast ice flow in Greenland. Please share!
1. One Postdoc using passive seismics ()
2. Two PhDs using fibre-optics () and precision radar ()

Top result when Googling 'galloping glaciers' is a Creationist website filled with inaccuracies. Sure, it's an (archaic) popular term rather than technical - but surely all the more reason for Google to be providing reliable search results for the interested public?

If you're in Cambridge, drop by the @scottpolar Museum to see what we did in the field this summer in the new temporary exhibit!

Playing with the impressive #Sentinel1 Greenland mosaics from @NASAEarthData MEaSUREs: here's (nearly) 3 years of imagery from Store Glacier

Initial attempt at post-processing our #GPS data successful: hopefully will dramatically improve the accuracy of our #UAV #photogrammetry !
