Happy watching - and now with the correct spelling of @ralfgreve.bsky.social in the title, too!
Oh no - we'll get that fixed right away. Apologies!!
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.

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. 📉🧊

Exciting news - abstract submissions are NOW OPEN for both the AI in Glaciology (June) & Radioglaciology (September) Symposia later this year!! (2nd circular coming soon for the International Symposium on Interactions of Ice Sheets and Glaciers with the Ocean, too!)
And we discussed where to go next into the future in the context of the next International Polar Year, Decade for Action on Cryospheric Sciences, and in the face of a quickly changing cryosphere & climate!
We connected with (new) colleagues and friends from around the world. We heard about the urgency to act even while we develop better predictions of impacts.
We were welcomed and concluded in a good way by Māori hosts. We celebrated multiple IGS award winners. We bore witness to a range of stark realities facing people as a result of the changing climate & cryosphere. We heard about important (and understudied) feedbacks - both positive and negative.
Thank you, @clicwcrp.bsky.social, for bringing together an engaging meeting of passionate experts of all stripes to discuss the crisis in the cryosphere and turning science into action!
In recognition of International Day of Women and Girls in Science (Feb 11), it's a great time to re-share this paper from 2010 - lots of progress and lots more room to grow. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
