It's been a great first two days hosting the @igsoc.bsky.social symposium on ice streams and outlet glaciers. We've had excellent talks & posters spanning both contemporary and palaeo glaciology, and a sunny icebreaker in the courtyard of Durham Castle. ❄️🥂 Looking forward to tomorrow's excursion!

Hello Bluesky! 👋 This is the first post from the glaciology group at @geogdurham.bsky.social - give us a follow to hear about our icy research activities and adventures! We had a mini conference today to catch up on the brilliant range of contemporary and palaeo research by members of our group! ❄️

A Reassessment of the Role of Atmospheric and Oceanic Forcing on Ice Dynamics at Jakobshavn Isbræ (Sermeq Kujalleq), Ilulissat Icefjord

The recent deceleration, thickening and advance of Greenland's largest outlet glacier, Jakobshavn Isbræ, was short-lived (2016–2018) The onset of re-acceleration preceded oceanic warming and was ...

The #Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change.  Research led by @tomchudley.bsky.social from @geogdurham.bsky.social found crevasses had significantly increased in size and depth in just five years 👉 bit.ly/4aKE8l7

We analysed 8,000 maps and found crevasses are increasing in size and depth.

A lovely article about it in @insideclimatenews.org courtesy of @bberwyn.bsky.social with thanks to @glacierbytes.bsky.social, Xavier Fettweis, and Ken Mankoff.

New 3-D Study of the Greenland Ice Sheet Shows Glaciers Falling Apart Faster Than Expected - Inside Climate News

Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, increasing concerns about how quickly their melting will raise sea levels.

Our new paper is out in Nature Geoscience! In an ice-sheet-wide 3-D inventory of crevasses in 2016 and 2021, we find that crevasses are growing in response to ice acceleration on short timescales. @durham-university.bsky.social @byrdpolar.bsky.social @leverhulme.bsky.social

Increased crevassing across accelerating Greenland Ice Sheet margins - Nature Geoscience

Greenland-wide observations of crevasse volume and distribution suggest substantial increases in crevassing between 2016 and 2021 at marine-terminating sectors with accelerating ice flow.
