Accepted in Journal of Glaciology! Work co-led with @subglacial.bsky.social testing glacier slip theory in the lab. We characterize new slip behaviors on short forcing timescales, while also finding theoretical models are reasonable over longer periods. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Nice ice shove on Lake Monona

Not seeing a lot of discussion about this. Some researchers have estimated the Glen's flow law exponent n as ~ 1 rather than 3-4 for temperate ice. This could mean that the world's most critical glaciers are linear-viscous are their base. 🥼❄️ ⚒️ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Is there a more impressive drumlinized landscape than this? Between Columbus and Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Green Bay Lobe of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Sentinel 2, Jan 9, 2025, and 1 m lidar. Smaller squares in image are 1/2 X 1/2 mile. US Hwy 151 runs almost parallel to ice flow here.

Check out our paper that came out in @science.org today. It uses some really cool experiments to explore the rheology of temperate ice. We find that contrary to colder ice this warm ice has a value of n=1!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New paper by Francisca Núñez Ferreira that among other findings develops a method to use the sediments in esker deposits to inform on the subglacial effective pressure gradient and how it changed in space/time. We find that eskers largely form at the margin. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
