Dr. Alison Banwell

#DurlstonPrePrep art competition following our Antartic Art Day. Pupils congratulated the winners and all the amazing crative colouring of Prof Alison Banwell from the STEM Super stars - women of today changing the world book. #durlstoncreate @Artsmarkaward @AliBanwell

@AGU_Eos Thanks for sharing. It would really great if you could share this on Bluesky!! There are relatively few scientists left here on Twitter, especially US-based scientists.

Alison Banwell (@AliBanwell), a glaciologist at the University of Colorado Boulder, led research into how ring fractures (aka “ice doughnuts”) contribute to the rapid collapsing of ice shelves in Antarctica. #WomensHistoryMonth eos.org/articles/antar…

Air temperatures in #Antarctica have reached 28C above average on some days this winter 🥵 theguardian.com/world/article/…

@GlacialMeg @CIRESnews Congratulations Megan!!

Check out our new paper! And please enjoy this great write-up on it in @CIRESnews: cires.colorado.edu/news/warming-h…

Article: Substantial contribution of slush to meltwater area across Antarctic ice shelves @rebeccadell1 @AliBanwell @sderodahusman @IanWillis16 nature.com/articles/s4156…

Staff Members and Associates at the Scott Polar Research Institute are amongst a group of scientists who have made the first ever direct observations of ice shelf fracture due to meltwater loading in Antarctica! shar.es/agsDVR @rebeccadell1 @IanWillis16 @AliBanwell

Hold onto your butts... #Boulder #cowx

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' @AliBanwell. @IanWillis16 @rebeccadell1@scottpolar Read more from @Cambridge_Uni ⤵️ cam.ac.uk/stories/antarc…

Excited to be part of this new @NatureGeosci study led by @rebeccadell1 @scottpolar: doi.org/10.1038/s41561…

Today we have published our latest work in @NatureGeosci 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… @IanWillis16 @AliBanwell @SdeRodaHusman 1/5

Our new paper out today in @NatureGeosci! 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… @BryonyFreer and I wrote an explainer for @CarbonBrief carbonbrief.org/guest-post-the…

Interested in the drivers of the recently observed seasonal land-ice-flow in Antarctica? Our new @JGREarthSurface 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…

ICYMI: New @AGU_Eos story spotlights research led by @AliBanwell. The work shows that ice shelves don’t just buckle under the weight of meltwater lakes — they fracture. ⤵️ eos.org/articles/antar…

Our recently published @igsoc 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… @CIRESnews @NSIDC @BAS_News @CUArtsSciences

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