Excited to present our new @Nature paper!
Our findings show that an ice sheet retreated at up to 600 m/day at the end of the last Ice Age.

Researchers have discovered well-preserved glacial landforms buried beneath the North Sea. Find out about the role @NCL_Geography's @DrCBatchelor had in the mapping and interpretation of these landforms >>bit.ly/4gzBzUQ

LIVE this Thursday at 6pm GMT: Reconstructing past ice sheets to understand future behaviours with @DrCBatchelor from @NCL_Geography, on Time for Geography with @thecuriousgeog. @NCLPhysGeog buff.ly/46jooC4
Excited to join @GCRC_GINR on a cruise to map unsurveyed regions of the seafloor in NW Greenland! Fingers crossed for calm seas and plentiful glacial landforms!
Thanks to @Arctic_Office @NERCscience for a UK-Greenland Bursary to support this collaboration 🇬🇧 🇬🇱 🚢 🌊
In Rome for #INQUARoma2023 @InquaRoma2023?
I'll be presenting this work⬇️on Monday morning! Come and chat to me about corrugation ridges, their formation and implications for ice-sheet retreat.

A brilliant first CORR-NE conference yesterday! 55 researchers from north-east universities presented their work on the cold regions. The quality of posters was exceptionally high and great to see everyone getting to know each other.

Ice sheet melting records are toppling, with the 7 highest (worst) years occurring in the last decade of the satellite record
Now 1/4 of sea level rise
The latest #IMBIE assessment is published today tinyurl.com/2jpms4rt

Thanks @frazer_christie for this clear explanation of how pulses of rapid ice-sheet retreat occur and the implications for #Antarctica. Our paper benefitted greatly from this satellite and physics based understanding of what today's ice sheets are capable of doing 👇
Interested in the mechanism of buoyancy-driven ice-sheet retreat described in our new @Nature paper? (rdcu.be/c9eZ4). Here’s a short thread explaining some of the key points from the manuscript!
