Did the midnight☀️bleach into the rocks of the Arctic? Following our OSL dating of cobbles from moraines in Tibetan Plateau (doi.org/10.1016/j.quag…) we are applying this technique to moraines in the Lyngen Alps (Lyngsfjellan / Ittuvárit), Troms, Arctic Norway @iC3_COE @rhewlif

University degrees are not all about salaries. They are about learning to think differently and more carefully. Dispiriting discussion on bbc politics live which focussed entirely on earnings. Ok the financing is v important but the aim is not just a high paid job.

Very late on the uptake, but great to see our British-Irish ice sheet extents illustrated in this BBC article alongside the ever-fantastic work by @JD_Kirkham For the full article of ice-extents and timings, see here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bo…

Icebergs? The size of a city? 90 miles from the UK? Must be a joke, right? No! Our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com shows massive tabular icebergs broke off the UK in the last ice age before the UK’s ice shelves disintegrated from climate warming. 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4146…

@subfossilguy @AMacGlac Feel free to try out our new cobble luminescence moraine dating technique ;) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

ICONIC! 🤩 Stunning aerial pics of Georgian Caucasus glaciers and peaks by @AMacGlac last autumn! 1st: Ushba (4710 m) S face 2nd: Adishi/Khalde Glacier topped by Tetnuldi (4858 m) and Shota Rustaveli Peak (4960 m) Wonder exact age of these (mostly) late Holocene moraines! ⏱️

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research

@AntarcticGlacie Llongyfarchiadau Bethan!

@HimalElla @BSG_Geomorph First thing that struck me was how you captured the 'flow' of the mass, thought that was fantastic!!! Love the terminating lobe / moraine area!

@BSG_Geomorph 🎨🎨 My attempt at painting Morennyi rock glacier in Kazakhstan on our fieldwork this summer! (I immediately regretted trying to paint so many rocks and never want to do it again) #BSGAC24

What fantastic research, and in such a fantastic place. Glacial readvances and ice-dammed lakes in West Cumbria. Fascinating to hear about the Gosforth Oscillation sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
