My paper “Geomorphological and morphometric characterization of subglacial channels on Devon Island, Nunavut, Canada” is out now in Geomorphology! Co-authored by @agraugal and @drcrater kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2…

Successfully defended my PhD today! It feels so surreal. Thank you to my supervisor @drcrater and to everyone who has supported me along the way! A special shout out to Dr. Anna Grau Galofre who also helped guide me through this thesis and all things (sub)glacial on Devon Island.

A beautiful piece written by Sam Anderson, one of our team on Devon Island last summer. Opinion: On an island carved by climate extremes, I came to better understand our own polarization /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

I sometimes get asked why I keep going back to Devon Island in the Canadian #Arctic. Last summer was the 25th anniversary of my 1st trip. This is why. Check out this incredible video from last summer by Sam Anderson: DAYS ON DEVON ISLAND youtu.be/PtoSEqYTIjk?si…

Very excited to look at all the data we gathered these past couple weeks! The final year of my PhD will definitely be interesting! Lots of ideas coming together to build a picture of glaciation on Devon Island.

Back from an epic day in the Haughton impact structure! Lots of great science - including sampling for age dating & drone surveys of subglacial channels - plus some adventures in the mud. And all smiles at the end despite the rain 😀 #Haughton2024

We made it to the Haughton River Valley inside the Haughton Crater (Devon Island, NU). Looking forward to a couple weeks of fieldwork and (hopefully) some good weather! 🤞🏽 #Haughton2024

Great timing! Check out this paper by my PhD student @simonaruso on the characterization of subglacial channels on Devon Island. This is based on data collected in 2022 & tomorrow we head back to collect more! @agraugal @westernuEarth sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

One of my (many) favourite parts of fieldwork is packing - ready for #Haughton2024 ! I am heading to Devon Island, Nunavut, to study subglacial meltwater channels & surroundings to enhance our understanding of the island’s glacial history & drainage under cold-based ice sheets.

Made it to Las Vegas & met up with @simonaruso & James who made the long drive from @WesternU #ldnont. Time for some unpacking, repacking & a big grocery shop in advance of the students arriving tomorrow for the official start of #PS9605 Planetary Surface Processes Field School!

Day 3: Final full day of driving featuring The Prisoner of Azkaban audiobook. Loved driving through the mountains of Colorado and Utah! (ignore the dirty windshield, it’s been a long drive).

Day 2: Our longest day of driving took us through Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas. Some beautiful outcrops along the highway in Kansas and a lightening storm kept us from boredom (and Harry Potter audiobook #2).

Day 1 of our drive down to Vegas to TA Dr. Osinski’s Planetary Science Field School in Utah and Arizona! Drove from London, ON, to western Illinois. We will be subsisting on Harry Potter audiobooks and fast food.
