..and if you are interested in new mapping of aqueous and terrestrial ice margin positions of the last Scandinavian Ice Sheet then Dulfer et al in 'Geomorphology' has just landed. Again, data galore for comparsion with ice sheet modelling

Drumlins, flow-sets recording shifting ice flow patterns over Scandinavia, and constraining migration of the ice sheet's main divide. Check out our new paper (Butcher et al 2026) in Boreas. Masses of data downlands available

Congratulations Dr Kaitlin Naughten on receiving the EGU Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists!

Her work has transformed understanding of Antarctic ice-shelf melt and future sea-level rise.

She says, “It was a lovely surprise to hear that I'd won this prestigious award."

The southernmost glacier in Norway is about to extinct soon! 😰

Breifonn was not exactly a small glacier at the end of the LIA (6 km²).
But only scattered patches totalising 0.15 km² remain today, meaning disappearance in the next few years... 😱

If you’re in East Anglia (UK) and a bit of a Quaternary geek, check out “The Stone Index” by Mike Burgess, where he has compiled a incredible list of glacial erratics, standing stones and other “odd boulders” (1/1).

At University of Cambridge, I was asked if I maintain a sense of optimism about climate change. My answer:

Yes, because unlike cancer, where we often don't know the cause and don't have a cure, we know exactly why global temperatures are rising and how to stop it. We just need the political will.

Back to civilisation after another great field campaign to Hofsjökull with the DRUMICE project. We managed to collect over 100km of radar lines over the 2 and a half day weather window. Will put together this quick little video. Thanks to NERC UK-Iceland collaboration grant for making this happen!
