How a rush for minerals is causing deforestation in tropical regions
An analysis of the extent to which mining caused deforestation between 2001 and 2020 in areas near mines in sub-Saharan Africa could help conservation efforts.

New paper: Glaciers, lakes and wetlands in the high Peruvian Andes. How do these systems interact and how important are glaciers for maintaining wetlands? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Landsystems of the tropical high Peruvian Andes: Glaciers, lakes, wetlands and water resources in the Cordillera Vilcanota
We outline the geomorphological relationships between glaciers, lakes and bofedal wetlands, and the way in which moraines, talus slopes and sandar interact with catchment hydrology in the tropical A...

Many media outlets seem to be having difficulty communicating the scale of the gift that Farage neglected to declare compared to the amounts other politicians benefitted as a result of financial indiscretions recently, so here's a simple graphic to help.

Our new piece out today in Times Higher Education about the threats to Geography in the UK - particularly fieldwork - please do share. It links to a recent snapshot survey on the challenges being faced in UK HE, which highlights the inequities of the challenges, but also fears of what is yet to come
The UK universities cutting geography have lost their bearings
From climate change to geopolitics, the knowledge, skills and insights of geographers have never been more relevant, say five professors

When the free, volunteer service run by a stressed out scientist in her spare time doesn’t update as often as you’d like Anyway, FAQs are pulled from a Wordpress app and are updated regularly. The static page doesn’t update. As always - there’s no need to be rude. We’re all doing our best here

Palaeoglacier reconstruction and dynamics of Cordillera Vilcanota in the tropical high Peruvian Andes
We provide a geomorphological analysis of Cordillera Vilcanota and use morphostratigraphic principles to reconstruct palaeo icefield extent and palaeoglacier readvances, likely during the Antarctic ...

New paper! I took a diversion to Earth and reconstructed the flow evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet. doi.org/10.1111/bor.... A privilege to work on this epic w/ @annalchughes.bsky.social, Helen Dulfer, @jeremyely.bsky.social, @chrisdclark.bsky.social @bmboyes.bsky.social & all co-authors!
Flow‐pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet indicated by the subglacial lineation record over Norway, Sweden and Finland

5 days left to apply for a postdoc job with me, working on Martian glaciation! Advert: tinyurl.com/6rzzk5d4 Relevant for glaciologists, geomorphologists, ice flow modellers, GIS or deep learning folks. Closes 19th Jan. Queries via email. 📸HiRISE / @theseaning.bsky.social
A lovely paper published today in final form by @owenking.bsky.social showing how cliffs and ponds on clean ice glaciers accelerate mass loss: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
When we first came across Suyuparina Glacier in the field a couple of years ago its potholed surface and irregular margin caught our eye. Some of it's neighbours looked similarly chewed, some didn't. We've had a closer look at what's going on in this new paper: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
