Science and Shovels: Traversing across the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Moving 150 tonnes of equipment more than 450km across the Greenland Ice Sheet sounds like a crazy idea. In that context, moving a 14-metre high, dome-shaped, wooden structure seems like a minor point, but it really is not. I do not think I realised what an awesome and awe-inspiring project I was part of, until I was out there, in the middle of the blindingly white ice sheet, and I saw the enormous ...[Read More]

9th I.A.G./A.I.G. SEDIBUD Workshop – Sediment Dynamics in Cold Climate Environments, Kaunertal, Tyrol/Austria, 7-10.09.2015
Changes in climate have a major impact on sediment dynamics in cold environments from high arctic/antarctic and subarctic/subantarctic to alpine and upland sites. Climate changes influence the nature and extent of glaciers, permafrost areas, ice sheets and the extent and intensity of glacial, peri-, pro- and paraglacial processes. In this context major foci of the workshop are related to: Observat ...[Read More]

Whodunit?: It was Mankind With the Greenhouse Gases in the Atmosphere
Last week I came across this beautifully illustrated account of what is causing the planet’s rising temperature, based on findings obtained by NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies. The graphic is designed by Erik Roston and Blacki Migliozzi, in collaboration with Kate Marvel and Gavin Schmidt of NASA-GISS. Check out the full article What’s really warming the world? on Bloomb ...[Read More]
