Group photo from today. We're standing in front of our home, Building 54 (a.k.a., The Green Building), which houses @eapsMIT.

3 MIT Glaciology students hooded this week! The first from the group, with more to come. (Students from left to right: @meghana_ir , Fiona Clerc, and Kasturi Shah)

New study by @LizzUltee @DenisFelikson @leigh_stearns @bryanvriel et al. finds Helheim Glacier ice velocity responds most strongly to meltwater runoff at seasonal scale. @MITglaciology #Greenland #glacier #RemoteSensing

I did a podcast! Fair warning, it’s mostly about me and my journey from rural Texas to the Marine Corps to being a scientist and professor. Highly recommended for anyone having trouble falling asleep! 😴 There’s a bit of science at the end. https://t.co/CVO6o7j4rn

Great thread and article. Couldn’t agree more.

Congrats @meghana_ir !

wow 😍 @meghana_ir

EAPS PhD Joanna Millstein ( @jdmillstein), a part of @MITglaciology, has recently found that a decades-old equation to describe ice flow was in need of an update- and the revisions can help scientists further refine sea-level rise models. @ScienceMIT

Nice piece about my paper with @MITglaciology and @SamPegler reassessing the flow law of glacier ice (n=4). Glad to see this paper out, and thank you to @BassisJeremy and Paul Bons for really helpful reviews. https://t.co/LCJKBLfa3R

How are stratospheric drones, seismic data, and sea-level rise related? They're all part of two proposals from @MITglaciology and other MIT collaborators for the Climate Grand Challenges to help refine #SeaLevelRise models. @ScienceMIT

And the other Thursday poster is led by @fmheclimate (her first AGU presentation!) and focuses on inferring ice thickness gradients in grounding zones from observations. https://t.co/3uVpsuAoHC

A small contingent of @MITglaciology is traveling to #AGU21 but a larger portion of the group's work will be represented virtually and in person. This work covers recent advances in observational inference, pure modeling, and cryo-solid-Earth interactions. Chronological order:

One Thursday poster is led by Sarah Wells-Moran that focuses on inferring the failure strength of glacier ice from observations...https://t.co/2QYqbVuvNS

[Kasia Warburton @KasiaWarburton]

I'll be presenting on Tuesday (modeling water flow through till) https://t.co/5LHMYrst8n and looking forward to the range of cryo talks this year!

An update from @CopernicusEU @ESA_EO #Sentinel1 on the changes at McDonald Rumples on the Brunt Ice Shelf. Will the ice shelf lose contact with this important pinning point?
