Heading down to London for a policy meeting at @FCDOGovUK. Feeling like I have to dress the part so dusted off the smart clothes 🎩

Looks like it was a bit chilly out!

‼️ Hutton Club Thu 23rd Nov ‼️ This week we will be joined by Dr Christine Batchelor (@DrCBatchelor) from @NCLPhysGeog ! Join us at 16:00 for Christine’s talk entitled ‘Pulses of rapid ice-sheet retreat in the past & implications for future ice-sheet behaviour’ 🧊 @EdinGlaciology

I had a great time with Bridget Tiller yesterday at the @NCLPhysGeog Polar Environments Day speaking to secondary school children from Newcastle, including from my old school Sacred Heart, about #PolarPride and the importance of diversity in polar science!

New research article: Englacial architecture of Lambert Glacier, East Antarctica doi.org/10.5194/tc-17-…

Celebrating Polar Pride day with my glacier goo model! Had fantastic time with over 200 school students @NewcastleUniversity explaining what glacier is and how glacier ice flows!

Airborne geophysical surveys led by @UTGeophysics have helped locate an ancient Antarctic landscape. The discovery is a window to when Antarctica was covered by forests and rivers, says a recent study in @NatureComms. ig.utexas.edu/news/2023/ut-l… With @DurhamGeography @NCLPhysGeog

My Royal moment the Buckingham Palace yesterday during Kenya's 60th independence anniversary. Honoured to greet and have a little chat with His Majesty King Charles @ONEPlanetDTP @NCLPhysGeog @DrChrisHackney

Want a funded 3.5 yr PhD finding debris flow fans globally and thinking about how we quantify and reduce risk? Come to @NCLPhysGeog by applying to our @ONEPlanetDTP project: tinyurl.com/Debrisflows & tinyurl.com/32rf5byv for application process.

Working with colleagues @durham_uni, our polar scientists @NCLPhysGeog have used satellite data & ice penetrating radar to reveal Antartica's hidden landscape ncl.ac.uk/press/articles…

Very happy with a third place at the @UniofNewcastle Open Research Awards. Many congrats to the other shortlisted colleagues and the other winners 🎉🍾🎊 Great to see so much fantastic open science being done! @nuact_NCL @NCLPhysGeog @NCL_Geography

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.

Excited to head off to the @ArcticStationUK in Ny-Ålesund after a great couple of days in Longyearbyen
