Come join us at Geography at Durham on 20th Feb for the The Geological Society #OffTheRails series. I'll be talking about the importance of glaciers for resource security followed by Q&A with Rachel P Oien, Grant Macdonald ❄️🐧🌎🇦🇶 & Mike Bentley.

Changes to the cryosphere are having significant social & environmental impacts, with consequences from local to global scales. A reminder that we'll be hosting a session all about this at European Geosciences Union, and welcome submissions from a wide range of perspectives & disciplines.

Our new preprint (and the first of my PhD!) is now open for discussion in The Cryosphere ❄️. We produced the first large-scale inventory of supraglacial channels in an alpine environment and provide insight into meltwater pathways and channel distribution. doi.org/10.5194/egusph…

Hugely relieved to have finished the 70km Winter Spine Sprint. ❄️🌨️☃️ Easily one of the hardest things I've ever done. The snow underfoot was unrelenting, often knee deep, and worse if you stepped off the path. An experience to remember, but definitely type 2 fun! 🤣 Sleep time!

Dog cuddles feel a world apart from Saturday when I was wading through snow in the dark on the Spine Sprint. On Sunday I was exhausted, by Monday I was excited about having done it and wishing I was still on the Pennine Way. Today I'm thinking about next year but glad to be warm!

Two of our MSc courses – the MSc Climate, Risk & Society and the MSc Environmental Hazards & Risk - are on the list of eligible courses for this year’s British Council Scholarships for Women in Stem scheme: tinyurl.com/2nnnuu3y

The thing about type 2 fun is it's very addictive! I love following the Spine Race, so completing the Spine Sprint in difficult wintry conditions only left me wanting more. I can't wait to step it up a notch & take to the start line of the Spine Challenger South in January 2026!

.Hywel Griffiths & I are looking forward to hosting a session on art-science collaborations in the geosciences at this year's Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Annual International Conference. Learn how to contribute to our session in the flyer below. More info on the conference: rgs.org/research/annua…

Registration & abstract submission for the Int. Glaciol. Soc. Symposium on Ice Streams & Outlet Glaciers, hosted at Geography at Durham from 21st-25th July 2025, is now open! ❄️ Abstracts can be submitted until 24th March & registration is open until 5th May. More info here: pay.durham.ac.uk/event-durham/i…

Friday 21st March is World Water Day and the first ever World Day for Glaciers. ❄️💧 To mark the theme of "Glacier Preservation" Uni of Birmingham is hosting a series of online talks and a panel discussion which I'll be taking part in. For more info see birmingham.ac.uk/university/col…

A reminder that abstract submission for the Int. Glaciol. Soc. Symposium on Ice Streams & Outlet glaciers Geography at Durham closes on 24th March. We're looking forward to presentations from both contemporary & palaeo perspectives to encourage cross-pollination of ideas and research approaches! ❄️

Irresponsible, selfish and exactly the sort of behaviour we need to avoid in order to tackle climate warning. Yesterday was the first ever World Day for Glaciers in the International Year of Glacier Preservation. Maybe this shouldn't get airtime BBC News (UK)? bbc.com/news/articles/…
