Much appreciated time on water today. Happy International Women’s Day. So many amazing women in this world, let’s celebrate all of them every day.
As a glaciologist, it is strange to realize that I can't go back to visit many of my past field sites, the memories are there, the ice is gone or soon to be gone. #ThwaitesGlacier #climategrief #glaciers #Antarctica
Girls* in Icy Fjords: Deadline extended - now February 16.
See inspiringgirls.org
@milesobrien.com in an optimal position to observe/document THE active process at the front of #ThwaitesGlacier. Quite a video!
Sharing a #Greenland opp for #cryosphere PhD and Postdoc researchers. Theme A Collaborative Future: Strengthening Science & Connections in Greenland. Apps due Jan 21! Greenland Ice Sheet Ocean Science (GRISO) Network Summer School in Nuuk. May 18-29, 2026.

We want to put together a team of varied interests (sci/art, more), varied backgrounds and lived experiences, varied geography, and more.
Our expeditions are not just for the straight-A students - we want to find the teens whose lives will be most impacted.
All high school teachers out there! @nestanet.bsky.social @nagtgeo.bsky.social #NSTA #ScienceEducation #TeacherCommunity #STEMEducation
Inspiring Girls* Expeditions is an international organization. We've been running expeditions since 1999.
Girls in Icy Fjords is hosted by the PNW branch which is a program of @oregonstate.edu. We especially want participants from Oregon @orscitchr.bsky.social
Please share with everyone you know who connects with teens or high school teachers. This is a free program intended to reach those who don't have as many opportunities. Girls in Icy Fjords is open to teens from all over North America.
Up-close view of freshwater plumes rising at the glacier terminus. So much going on near glaciers, thanks to robotic boats for safely getting the data.

“Protecting Greenland's ice is the most important piece of national security and global security you can imagine. It's not critical minerals. It's not military strategy. It's keeping that ice frozen.” - Longtime climate researcher Paul Bierman.

Super cool research. Small ice domes aside the big ice sheets often don’t get the attention they deserve.
Do you wonder what a glacier fjord sounds like underwater? Calving icebergs melting ice, melange, and more. Check out our new paper! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
Thwaites Glacier continues to surprise us, good luck to friends headed there now! Thanks for reporting, Raymond @zhonggg Bound for Antarctica: A Voyage to Earth’s End Is Underway www.nytimes.com/2025/12/27/c...
Sad to see yet another year of record heat in the Arctic. More ice melting. phys.org/news/2025-12...

I had a lovely conversation with Flora from NPR Science Friday this week about the sounds glaciers make! www.sciencefriday.com/person/erin-... #glaciology
Amazing COLDEX.org results - 6Million year old ice, with bubbles of old atmosphere. Thank you ice, for the stories you share about our planet and its climate. Led by Sarah Shakleton #glaciology #womeninstem #cryosphere #Antarctica

I was interviewed for this great piece about sea level rise.
Solid reporting here on the scientific controversy, but I like that Evan ended with my bigger picture quote that a lot of the controversy doesn't really matter because by 2100, we will be talking about a radically different coastline.
Tidewater glacier calving events inspire awe and remind us to be humble. Turns out they also stir up fjord waters and amplify melt. New paper "Calving as a Source of Acute and Persistent Kinetic Energy to Enhance Submarine Melting..." ❤️glaciology agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
Jane Goodall inspired so many of us. I was fortunate to get to stand next to her as she won a lifetime achievement award from Wings Women of Discovery at the same ceremony I won their Earth Award. Thank you @wingswod.bsky.social ❤️
The special issue @quantamagazine.bsky.social on Climate Science just dropped and I know what my weekend readings is gonna be 👍🏻 www.quantamagazine.org/how-we-came-...
The NSF-funded Arctic Research Consortium of the United States (ARCUS) will shut down at the end of Sept. ARCUS has been around since the late 80s; in recent years their staff had dwindled, and NSF said earlier this year that their grant would not be renewed. Another blow to polar science.
If you are in Portland this week, visit the Blackfish Gallery to see Myra Clark's Antarctic artwork.
And especially come this Friday Aug 22 at 5:30pm to hear Myra and I have a conversation about art and science in Antarctica.

In NW Greenland the ice flows across a giant impact crater. See what's happening at the bed!! #glaciology #greenland #PlanetaryScience dx.doi.org/10.1029/2024...
