How does the ice in a glacier deform? 🚨 New article 🚨 on Antarctic Glaciers by Tamara Gerber: www.antarcticglaciers.org/glacier-proc...

Anisotropy of Glaciers and Ice sheets - AntarcticGlaciers.org

How easily ice deforms depends on the arrangement of the ice crystals. When crystals become aligned, ice behaves differently depending on direction.

I hadn't seen this version of an annual temperature plot before, and I find it really compelling.

A single graph says it all! 📈 Daily temperature in France (1961–1990 baseline) 🌡️ Red: above long-term normal. Dark red: >95th percentile. Extremes aren't outliers anymore — they're now part of the story 🔥 And there are still some who say there have been “cold” periods! 🤡 Via @drxeo.eu 🙏

Today is #GlacierLossDay 2026 for Swiss glaciers! 🧊🔥 The moment when the snow accumulated during winter has been used up and further melt affects glacier ice rather than protective winter snowpack ❄️⚖️ During last decades, this day occurred in August... ⏱️ Via @landervt.bsky.social 1/

The Athabasca Glacier in Canada is one of the most accessible and visited glaciers in the world. As such, its retreat is well documented, rendering glacial change apparent. Explore this glacier and others with NSIDC's Glacier Photograph Collection: https://bit.ly/4e6aBpD

Snow scientists - who's going to be there in Japan for this exciting meeting?! You, I hope!!

TODAY! I am fully aware of how absurd a <24h deadline is but trust me there’s a good reason. if you’re interested in this postdoc, send me your CV immediately.🧪⚒️

🚨Funding for 2yr postdoc w/ me & @geocron.bsky.social on landslide-tsunami-jökulhlaup project, but (this is the ridiculous part) I need to select someone NOW or I lose the $. If you're NOT in Canada (can be any nationality) and interested, send me your CV and transcripts by midnight MT, June 12. 🧪⚒️

IGS is excited to announce an upcoming special collection of the Annals of Glaciology with the theme Radioglaciology. Full information is available here: www.igsoc.org/radioglaciol...

Happy World Oceans Day! It's a great day to remind you that you have one week left to register for the upcoming IGS Symposium on Interactions of Ice Sheets and Glaciers with the Ocean before the late fee kicks in. More info: igs2026.ucsd.edu

Virtual options for 2026 IGS Symposia: Streaming free for IGS members for AI in Glaciology & Ice-Ocean meetings. Join / renew your membership: www.igsoc.org/membership A full hybrid option for Radioglaciology is available, which will require a separate registration. Thanks for supporting IGS!!

Great to see our new work in AGU Advances, led by @tomchudley.bsky.social, highlighted in EOS. Read more below! 👇❄️

It’s not just how much glaciers are melting that matters—when and how meltwater makes its way to the ocean are also important. A new study shows that seasonal changes in the forces that stretch and squeeze ice play a big role in when glacial water is released. 🧊🧪 eos.org/research-spo...

Are the glaciers OK? No. | Thinking of summer fieldwork? There are important reminders and lessons from glacier tourism which we should heed - especially when I'm thinking of field courses with large groups of students or collaborating with tour operators for access. grist.org/science/on-t...

The growing allure — and danger — of glacier tourism

I study glaciers. I'm deeply worried about the growth of ice cave tourism.

Please do consider submitting to this special issue (or the Journal of Glaciology in general). Publishing in @igsoc.bsky.social journals is one of the best ways you can support IGS' work in convening & advancing the cryospheric research community!!

Call for Papers: AI in Glaciology, special collection in Annals of Glaciology @igsoc-pubs.bsky.social The issue welcomes papers and presentations on any timely topic related to Artificial Intelligence in cryospheric science. Open 1 July - 1 Dec. LOTS more info at www.igsoc.org/call-for-pap...

"So you expect every author to check every citation is real and accurate?" YES, in fact, we do. The very *best* explanation for having a fake or inaccurate citation is that you were misleading your readers by dishonestly padding your citations! That's unacceptable!

Dr. Holly Walters@manigarm.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

Great, easy-to-read write-up of "Tracy Arm’s Post-Tsunami Landscape" from @watershedlab.bsky.social et al's recent paper by NASA-EO. science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-... I'll forgive you for not submitting to @igsoc-pubs.bsky.social this time :-P

Just watched the trailer for Time and Water - it looks absolutely beautiful, moving, and nostalgic - and I'm curious (when I watch it eventually) if it will leave me despondent or somehow hopeful... www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oR0...

Like Antarctic ice cores & the climate perspective they provide? They only happen with the 7 decades of sustained support we’ve given to the National Science Foundation, United States Antarctic Program, and Operation Deep Freeze. My two cents (or 180 seconds):

Per office hours today, NSF Office of Polar Programs now in Office of the Director. Arctic and Antarctic Sciences sections now one Polar Science. Doing more with less vibes. Administration priorities heavily feature in slide deck, as does AI content in slides which conveys a lot between the lines…

Are you an MSc student looking for a thesis topic? Interested in Greenland, Antarctica atmosphere and ice sheet processes? Background in meteorology, geography, earth science or physics (or other quantitative discipline? Then do I have the project for you...

I often have MSc and BSc students working with me on their thesis research, and also sometimes as summer interns. I enjoy working with students and hope they also learn some useful things. I and co…

That is a pretty obvious conclusion. If you first dilute your emissions to the ppm level and let them spread around the entire planet, then sucking them up again is obviously going to be costly.

Dr. Sandra Steingraber 🏳️‍🌈@ssteingraber1.bsky.social · 3mo ago

🧪 FIRST STUDY to compare direct air capture of CO2 vs renewables: “An amount of money spent deploying wind or solar delivers more combined climate and public health benefit than if it is spent on DAC.” Releasing CO2 into air and then trying to suck it up is dumb. techxplore.com/news/2026-05...
