Guess what. Glaciers aren't as good at eroding the landscape as we might have thought. New paper with collaborators from Quebec, France, and across the US. Internationalism lives on at least in science!

What a US military base lost under Greenland’s ice sheet reveals about the island’s real strategic importance Listen to Paul Bierman, an expert on Greenland’s ice, talk to The Conversation Weekly podcast about the history of the island’s ice sheet.

Some hard truths about Greenland and climate change and Trump's nonsensical landgrab. My take on the last couple weeks of insanity.

US military has a long history in Greenland, from mining during WWII to a nuclear-powered Army base built into the ice History also shows that many of the fanciful engineering ideas for Greenland failed because they misjudged the island’s harsh climate and dynamic ice sheet.

As Vance talks to the Danes and Trump insists he'll get Greenland one way or another. Here are my thoughts on the whole matter. What matters most about Greenland is its ice. Just dropped. Pass it on. Resist.

Greenland’s melting ice and landslide-prone fjords make the oil and minerals Trump is eyeing dangerous to extract Melting ice, thawing permafrost and crumbling fjord walls are just a few of the risks climate change poses for those living and working in Greenland.

This just republished today. Even more relevant given the news of the last week.

Remembering Chet Langway Considered the pioneer of ice core drilling, the late UB professor emeritus' work extracting climate data from ice sheets continues at the university today.

We lost a giant in polar and climate science this spring. Chet Langway, a man who was there at the start of ice core science and kept miles of cores frozen for decades of scientific study.

The US military has cared about climate change since the dawn of the Cold War – for good reason During the Cold War, the US poured support into Arctic military outposts and climate research amid fears of a Russian invasion. Climate change is still on the military’s radar as a threat multiplier.

Wrote this what seems like ages ago. Worth remembering climate matters to everyone!
