Lecturer in Physical Geography @ Leeds Beckett Uni 🗺️ |
Interested in Antarctica, glaciers, hydrology, and GIS 🏔️leedsbeckett.ac.uk/staff/dr-chris… Leeds, EnglandJoined September 2020
Did you know that already more than 1000 glaciers have disappeared in Switzerland over the last 50 years as a consequence of human-caused climate change?
One of those is Pizolgletscher which I visited today. Always a saddening yet impressive sight...
The tongue of Rhone #Glacier ten days after my last visit. Can you guess how much ice melted away? 1️⃣ meter in terms of thickness! 1️⃣0️⃣ days... And that's just the beginning of the summer season.
We know the times are bad for the ice, but still it is hard to accept these numbers!
Delighted to see our latest paper published in @arctic_alpine
I started on this research on the first day of my PhD (back in 2020!)
It explores the land cover and land cover changes of some key proglacial areas of the Antarctic Peninsula Region 🇦🇶🛰️
tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
#newarticle by Stringer (@SedsStringer) et al. offers a new data set of land cover of major deglaciated sites in West Antarctica, highlighting a spatial pattern where northern sites have more vegetation & active sediments and have changed more rapidly: doi.org/10.1080/152304…
Floods and landslides often dominate headlines, but their lasting impact flows beneath the surface—in the sediment carried by rivers. Dr Abhishek Dixit is studying how the Ganga and Brahmaputra are responding, and may continue to respond, to rising climate-driven events.
Featured in an excellent series by IIT Gandhinagar. We explore sediment dynamics in the two large Himalayan river system-Ganga and Brahmaputra. Both combined, carry the largest amount of sediments in the world.

Global warming is ‘exposing’ new coastlines and islands as Arctic glaciers shrink | @AyeshaTandon with comment from Jan Kavan, Simon Cook

Born #OnThisDay in 1880, Captain Lawrence Oates made the ultimate sacrifice on the day of his birth in 1912, by stepping out of his tent into a blizzard never to be seen again. Oates was an integral part of Scott's Polar Party, during the British Antarctic 'Terra Nova' Expedition…
Rain in the northernmost city on Earth. This month temperatures have been almost always above normal.
The Arctic is becoming totally unrecognisable.
And in the meantime @bp_plc@Equinor are doubling down on fossil fuels.
Profits over people. Profits over a liveable Earth.
By the end of your PhD you should have:
- expertise in your narrow field
- a publishable manuscript
- permanent lower back pain
- crippling fear of the light

A few more 'Southern' graves. Possibly the most famous being that of Sir Ernest Shackleton, then H.Brockloae in Grytviken, South Georgia, and finally one on a nearby hill. There are further graveyards on South Georgia, close to other whaling stations
