Congratulations Khosro Ghobadi-Far!! I’m looking forward to working with you as a Co-I on this exciting @nasa proposal!

Our recently published Int. Glaciol. Soc. paper features in Boulder's local newspaper today! Our study made the first field observations of #Antarctic ice-shelf fracture induced by the weight of a surface meltwater lake: doi.org/10.1017/jog.20… CIRES National Snow and Ice Data Center British Antarctic Survey 🐧 CU Boulder Arts and Sciences

Interested in the drivers of the recently observed seasonal land-ice-flow in Antarctica? Our new JGR-Earth Surface paper reveals summertime speed-up in the Antarctic Peninsula can be attributed to both surface and oceanic forcing. Read for free here: doi.org/10.1029/2023JF…

Our new paper out today in Nature Geoscience! We identify the possibility of rapid changes in the distance warm water can intrude - and melt - the bottom of ice sheets. nature.com/articles/s4156… Bryony Freer and I wrote an explainer for Carbon Brief carbonbrief.org/guest-post-the…

Today we have published our latest work in Nature Geoscience Slush accounts for more than half on Antarctica’s surface meltwater area at the peak of the melt season! The paper is freely available here: doi.org/10.1038/s41561… Ian Willis Dr. Alison Banwell Sophie de Roda Husman 1/5

57% of all meltwater on Antarctic ice shelves is held in the form of slush, with the remaining amount in surface ponds & lakes, according to work co-authored by CIRES' Dr. Alison Banwell. Ian Willis @rebeccadell1@scottpolar Read more from Cambridge University ⤵️ cam.ac.uk/stories/antarc…
