Made it to Tarfala! 😍 I'm spending the first week exploring this beautiful landscape and learning from the researchers, looking at the valley through their eyes. What do they notice? What do they find interesting?

Polar Geoengineering: A Risky Experiment That Will Not Fix Climate Change
Earth’s climate is warming because we burn fossil fuels for electricity, transport, heating, and food production, and this releases greenhouse gases. The polar regions (the Arctic and Antarctic) are w...

Live in #Cambridge (UK) and fancy meeting a real artist🎨?

Come along to @scottpolar.bsky.social *this Friday 12-2pm* to chat with Rowan Huntley - about her exhibition inspired by my @bas.ac.uk science.

On the left is a photograph of artist Rowan Huntley, weathering blue overalls and holding a rock. She is smiling at the camera. On the right are words ("Tea & Talk at the Polar Museum, Rowan Huntley MA, Exploring 'Through Ice and Fire'") in black against a white background, and the Polar Museum logo in blue at the bottom right.

I've tried many times to capture the atmosphere of a Hebridean shore under a grey sky, before the morning mist has cleared. Somehow the beach and the machair still glow and the sea somehow still looks tropical. Yesterday I think I just about cracked it.
Waves break on a deep blue sea, which turns turquoise as it rolls up a white sand beach. Behind the beach soft green machair-covered dunes are backed by mist and blue-distant hills under a, grey-blue sky.

Was really nervous about my first conference talk, but everyone had such positive feedback and asked great questions. The word "autoethnography" kept coming up and it's going into my regular vocab circulation. 😋

Thanks to @hywelgriffiths.bsky.social and @carolineclason.bsky.social for organising

Some good advice for #RGSIBG25 here, e.g. this tip from Nancy on networking: “Networking can feel intimidating. I’ve found that the most valuable connections often come from casual, authentic conversations, whether during coffee breaks, poster sessions, or smaller group meetups." Well said. 👏

Another super #RGSIBG25 session: 'Art-science collaborations in the geosciences' organised by @hywelgriffiths.bsky.social & Caroline Clason. Lots of ideas to take away, things to think about for both research & teaching. And @dominoajones.bsky.social 's comics are fabulous!

Last year, I connected to a supercomputer for the first time. Had my dad take a picture.

It's really moments like this that make you appreciate a whole new level of nerdiness. 😄

Ongoing heatwave and heavy rain caused deadly flash floods and glacial lake outburst in Pakistan 2025 so far—destroying parts of Karakoram Highway, farmland, homes, and killing ~15 people. Glacier melt and high river discharge threaten more erosion in Gilgit-Baltistan.

High temp at extreme elevations are intensifying these hazards, threatening the livelihoods of millions.

We’ve collected the oldest ice core, now it’s time to analyse it! 🔍 💻

The @newscientist.com have a new icy-cool video, speaking to BAS scientists about the Beyond EPICA project, highlighting why this work is so important in the face of climate change.
