Nothing more pleasing than unearthing some ancient chunks of basal ice from the archive for a student experiment. Robyn's rig looks so sciencey!

New paper! Dr VB and a crack team of citizen scientists across the #riverwye compared performance of methods to measure phosphate and nitrate: links.email.frontiersin.org/ls/click?upn...
TL;DR: Hanna Checkers perform pretty well

I've got a sensor measuring a titchy stream near Monmouth to support one of our citizen science groups. It's usually 20-30 cm deep, but went up to >2m in just a few hours during Storm Claudia! Thinking of everyone affected.

No Web of Science, I do not wish to add these quick keywords to my search about a glacier

Today is the Cryoegg's first operational birthday 🎂 It's been chirping away under the Greenland ice sheet every day since @matt-peacey.bsky.social chucked it down a moulin. Stand by for papers....

Congratulations to the newest Dr of measuring water in cool ways: Dr Elle Von Benzon! Forgot to take a traditional cheesy viva photo, so here she is in her natural habitat. Very proud.

The Dr will see you now.
Congratulations Dr Elfferich, the newest PhD of cyanobacteria, water quality and measurement strategies, read chapter 1 here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thanks Copenhagen for a week of science, swimming, biking and fancy pastries. And most of all, for science friends.

Greetings new followers! Here you'll find occasional ❄️ science posts about my favourite things: peering down moulins, collecting cryoconite and squinting at computers wondering why my sensor isn't working, mostly in Greenland but sometimes in UK rivers.

My kid did a drawing of what he thinks I do at work. Might need to review our safety procedures.

Our project won a massive weird trophy! Thanks to all the amazing volunteers who measure their rivers every week and make this project reality.

Is it even a geography field trip if you don't have to wade to the field site? #soakingforscience
