This project will couple citizen-led field-based and remote sensing observations at proglacial lakes in Iceland to uncover lake–glacier dynamics at high temporal frequency.
This PhD is part of the Net Zero Polar Science DTP, which aims to make polar science possible in a net zero world.

The progress flag in the shape of a shield against an outdoorsy background, titled "Pride guidelines: pointers for research that is inclusive, diverse, and equitable for LGBTQ+ fieldworkers"
New LGBTQ+ science resources! Today, we’re excited to share our PRIDE Guidelines for LGBTQ+ inclusive field work at inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/pride. Please share widely and see the thread below for more details 🧪🌍🌐
Yes please - Scott Watson, University of Leeds
Ice-marginal lakes across #Greenland- why do they matter?! 🇬🇱🧊 🌊
Our article in Geography introduces the importance of these chilly lakes and their impact on ice sheet change.

New paper today in @science.org focused on unraveling the chain of events that led to the 2023 Teesta disaster, which resulted in about 130 people either dead or missing in Sikkim, India. Short thread to follow. 🧪⚒️ doi.org/10.1126/scie...
Our new paper in Science (Sattar et al 2025) analyses the causes, process and impacts of the 3-4 October 2023 landslide-triggered GLOF along the Teesta River in Northern India. This was an amazing event - I've provided a summary of the research on the Landslide Blog:- eos.org/thelandslide...

Change in the LHI from 1990–2014 to 2091–2100 for the high mountains of Asia the two climate scenarios. Both show elevated occurrence of landslides across a wide area. From Stanley et al. (2024).
A really interesting paper in the AGU journal Earth's Future (Stanley et al. 2024) suggests that landslide hazard in the high mountains of Asia will increase under the effects of climate change.

Priority for those with tickets for tomorrow? I think it means prepare for another day of waiting in my experience. 🤞for VFR tomorrow

I'm pleased to announce our exciting new paper in Comms Earth & Environment: 'Proximity to active volcanoes enhances glacier velocity', in which we find glaciers located near volcanoes flow almost 50% faster than those located elsewhere. @natureportfolio.bsky.social
