🚨New paper! 🚨 I’m pleased to say The second paper from my PhD has been published today in Nature Communications. Here I give Cadman Glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula some much needed attention and ask why did it nearly double its speed and retreat 8km? nature.com/articles/s4146…

'We typically think of ice sheet change as very slow... Our findings highlight that some processes are operating over minutes to hours that may have significant impacts,' says Bryony Freer, in this article about the Ronne ice shelf.
