Nothing says "our publishing model is feeling the heat" quite like SpringerNature buying YouTube ad space. πŸ“Ί

It looks like a clear reaction to the growing momentum of the #OpenAccess movement. The landscape is definitely changing. πŸ”“πŸ‘

The Smith–Morland flow law revisited Preprint, submitted to the Journal of Glaciology on 2026-02-27.

New preprint, submitted to @igsoc.bsky.social Journal of #Glaciology: "The Smith-Morland flow law revisited". We offer a singularity-free alternative to Nye-Glen, avoiding the infinite-viscosity limit at zero stress. Already implemented in #SICOPOLIS.

GEUS Bulletin An open access, peer-reviewed geoscience journal published by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland.

@evangowan.bsky.social Interesting to hear about the #DiamondOpenAccess GEUS Bulletin (geusbulletin.org), I was not aware of this option. "Platform for Earth Science research and data published in Denmark, Greenland and the wider Arctic", sounds good! πŸ‘

IGS Global Seminar: Ralf Greve | February 18 Topic: Basal sliding laws and flow laws for ice-sheet and glacier modelling, and why their non-dimensionalization can make modellers' lives easier

Join me at the @igsoc.bsky.social Global Seminar ❄️ on Feb 18 (20:00 UTC). I'll be talking about basal sliding laws, flow laws, and how their non-dimensionalization simplifies #Glacier and #IceSheet #Modelling. πŸ“‰πŸ§Š

That's the way to move forward with #AcademicPublishing: community-organized, free for readers & authors. I would love to see such an initiative in #Glaciology / #CryosphereSciences as well.

No free labour for a multi-million bucks industry!

No free labour for a multi-million bucks industry!

I have made it a personal policy not to do unpaid work for commercial, for-profit publishers anymore. So, #SpringerNature, #Elsevier et al., if you'd like me to review your papers, you'll have to pay me. Otherwise, no deal.
