So jealous. Hi to all!

Key findings:

🔥 Summer: Most heat flows toward glaciers, concentrated in the upper 150 m thanks to subglacial discharge.
🌀 Winter: Circulation is surprisingly strong but more 3D than in summer.
➡️ Two distinct winter inflow events: one cold & deep, one relatively warm!

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🤔There’s been lots of uncertainty about whether the number of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) has increased, decreased or flatlined in recent decades

I haven't checked yet, but I would expect a pulse as all the runoff and yuck passes through. We have N sensors here too and they showed a spike as the flood passed. I'll be interested to see how long your P takes to subside!

I've got a sensor measuring a titchy stream near Monmouth to support one of our citizen science groups. It's usually 20-30 cm deep, but went up to >2m in just a few hours during Storm Claudia! Thinking of everyone affected.

As the United Nations marks the 2025 International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation and the opening of COP30 in Brazil, I'm happy to have been able to contribute a chapter to a new UK National Commission for UNESCO report on "Glaciers and Ice Sheets in a Warming World: Impacts and Outcomes". (1/2)

Team SLIDE also features in this report. TL;DR: glaciers are changing fast, but they're not gone yet, and UK scientists are helping find out about it
