It was a pleasure to organise the workshop with my amazing colleagues from APECS Norway! What a kick-off for #SvalbardScienceConference with early career researchers exploring Arctic careers, fieldwork, EDI, and collaboration. Thanks to all who joined and supported an inspiring day!

On Svalbard, rain falls where snow once lay.
The white patches of ice and snow slip away, leaving the mountains darker, bare, and heavy with melt.
What once gleamed now fades—a stark reminder of a world warming too quickly.

Annual mass balance survey with AG-315 UNIS students at upper Foxfonna near Longyearbyen. Even after last summer’s record heat, ~1 m of ice was lost at 550–600 masl.
On low‑elevation #Svalbard glaciers, melt overwhelms any chance of accumulation ~ highlighting the sensitivity of the ice to temp

Sad views from southern #Svalbard 30.8.25 - melt has reached high up the mountains. From Hornsund to Amundsenisen barely any snow left… how should glaciers build mass like this? Svalbard is heating fast. Only steep mountain walls seem to help accumulate a bit and catch blown snow 📸from✈️

A midnight GLOF or debris flood in Gupis, Pakistan, blocked the river, cutting off villages & threatening homes downstream.Thanks to a shepherd’s warning, lives saved—no early-warning system, no satellite data..climate disasters hit the Himalayas hard -people facing peril with the least support…

Altering glaciers with technology to slow sea level rise?
Really? 🤔 why don’t we cut on emissions is my question? Any oppinions? Reply your thoughts 😲😲

A quiet moment atop
280m of ice-
a moment of wonder.
Far below, fjords shimmer with distant light,
not frozen, but open,
veiled in restless mist.
Only scattered shards of sea ice remain-
beautiful, yet unsettling.
The view, marvel and omen,invites awe
and whispers its warning of a changing climate

The Glaciology Course is done for 2025. Another year of incredible students, amazing discussions and learnings. It’s amazing to see the results of all the fieldwork and hard work the students did so nicely and neatly presented. Amazing job and truly honoured to be able to help facilitate the course.

Finished my 3rd year of fieldwork at Hardangerjøkulen‘s outlet glacier Rembesdalskåka. The glacier has a long history of damming a marginal lake and I can’t wait to write up the publication about the whole history, glacier change and outburst floods.

Got some CMP in for a colleague. CMPs (Common Midpoints) in GPR involve moving the transmitter and receiver symmetrically around a fixed midpoint. This method helps to get subsurface velocities, and estimate water content, which in firn and ice 🧊 is a sparse knowledge.

Another success.
Finally managed to repeat Von Postbreen centerline using GPR 25MHz last surveyed by Delft, Sevestre and Dowdeswell. What an interesting glacier, completely steep margin and loads of temperate ice. Excited to process the data 👌

- insecure geniuses from publishing
- hard working people doubting themselves constantly
-people from being who they are

The Arctic is never a boring place there are things to observe everywhere. Here, the river water from presumably under the frozen valley is pushed out into the fjord. It looks fascinating and is interesting to think about the nutrient transport that occurs even in winter.

Amazing GPR (25,100,500MHz) and TEM fieldwork with the Glaciology Course at Unis Svalbard. We mapped out temperate ice, a possible firn aquifer, ice thickness, firn thickness and extent and snow thickness over Drønbreen. Fantastic learning opportunities. Thankful 😌🙏 now looking forward to the data📊

Glacier Fieldwork during the International Day of Glaciers.
Tough day with a low pressure system stopping fieldwork plans in the coming days with wind speeds up to 30m/s and 20mm new snow here in Svalbard.
We managed to revisit Edvardbreen and do some GPR, 500 and 200 MHz.
3m of snow on the ice

#Glaciers retreat, firn fades to air,
Society shifts, burdens to bear.
Regulations rise, constructions grow, a mirrored dance of ice and snow.
Why does the world and its human tide reflect the glacier’s vanishing pride?
It’s my 8th year of returning to here & these are my thoughts
