Excited to be spending ~ 3 months in the Arctic Circle at The Arctic University of Norway🇳🇴, Tromsø, Centre for ice, Cryosphere, Carbon and Climate @iC3 next year! We will collect cobbles from the Lyngen Alps (Lyngsfjellan / Ittuvárit) for OSL dating & plan future sampling in 🇬🇱

In case anyone needs it, to have the ‘mubble-fubbles’ (16th century) means to have a fit of despondency or low spirits, such as the end-of-summer blues.

Word of the Day is ‘swullocking’: swelteringly, stiflingly hot.
From 19th-century East Anglian dialect.

Can the OSL dating of cobbles be used to constrain the timing of former lake levels?
3 cobbles from palaeo lake beaches in the Great Basin, Nevada, USA, are consistent with radiocarbon ages (~ 16 ka)

University degrees are not all about salaries. They are about learning to think differently and more carefully. Dispiriting discussion on bbc politics live which focussed entirely on earnings. Ok the financing is v important but the aim is not just a high paid job.

Happy Sámi National Day!
Sámi National Day was added to the Finnish national almanac in 2004. Finnish and Sámi flags are flown on public buildings to commemorate the day.

Did the midnight☀️bleach into the rocks of the Arctic? Following our OSL dating of cobbles from moraines in Tibetan Plateau (doi.org/10.1016/j.quageo.202…) we are applying this technique to moraines in the Lyngen Alps (Lyngsfjellan / Ittuvárit), Troms, Arctic Norway

Very late on the uptake, but great to see our British-Irish ice sheet extents illustrated in this BBC article alongside the ever-fantastic work by @JD_Kirkham

Icebergs? The size of a city? 90 miles from the UK? Must be a joke, right?
No! Our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com shows massive tabular icebergs broke off the UK in the last ice age before the UK’s ice shelves disintegrated from climate warming.

Gorner Glacier

The second largest glacier in the Alps (towered by second highest peak, Monte Rosa) retreated 2.7 km over this period! 🧊📈

New study: Some glaciers in the #Arctic might be more resistant to warming climate than currently assumed
-> Major Svalbard ice cap did not melt during the Holocene
