Looking back on last week’s #Iapetus DTP #StudentConference at St Andrews—what a fantastic experience! Great conversations, inspiring research, and a brilliant atmosphere throughout. Here’s to doing it all again next year in a new setting!

📃 The first paper from my PhD has just been published in JGR: Earth Surface, detailing insights into Arctic glacial history from morphometry and machine learning.❄️ 🛰️ doi.org/10.1029/2025... Co-authors @polarguy.bsky.social, @drfionaclubb.bsky.social and Neil Ross. @iapetusdtp.bsky.social

Absolutely agree!! Scientific inquiry is driven by unspoken motivations—awe and wonder. I explore how visual storytelling can surface these invisible forces behind research narratives. I’ll be exploring this theme during my talk at the Royal Geographical Society Conference, Birmingham, this Aug.

Thought-provoking essay on the importance of awe (yes, really) in and for science. It helps scientists imagine, it motivates us, it promotes uptake of new ideas …. For me, awe of nature also keeps me grounded, resilient, happy. #ProfLife aeon.co/essays/how-a...

Enjoying a glaciology group writing retreat this morning, with excellent cake provided by @hollywytia.bsky.social! ✍️🍰❄️

Check out the new blog post from @ukpolarnetwork.bsky.social about polar science outreach! In the February half-term, a team of ECRs engaged with nearly 200 people at science festivals in Nottingham and Cardiff, including a chat with @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social . polarnetwork.org/2025/05/uk-p...

Hello Bluesky! 👋 This is the first post from the glaciology group at @geogdurham.bsky.social - give us a follow to hear about our icy research activities and adventures! We had a mini conference today to catch up on the brilliant range of contemporary and palaeo research by members of our group! ❄️

A great turn-out from Durham Geography at the EGU (European Geosciences Union) General Assembly conference in Vienna last week with Geography staff and postgrads convening and presenting in multiple sessions throughout the week! @egu.eu
