Exciting work here led by @anja_ruti from #GEUS! A new way of rapidly mapping firn heterogeneity using offsets in radar and laser altimetry demonstrated across Greenland. I'm very happy to have been a part of it 😊

Just over 24 to go before the abstract deadline!

Do you work with radar on ice or rock? On the surface or in the subsurface? If so, well do we have *THE* EGU session for you 😎

Heading home from Bremerhaven after the third #SMRT workshop. A great week of meeting new people and motivating science. Big thanks to @gsnowph @mjsandells and Henning Löwe for taking us through your model! Can't wait to start using it!

[Kirk Scanlan @kirk_scanlan]

@S_Yan_94 Congratulations Shuai!

[Kirk Scanlan @kirk_scanlan]

Very fortunate to have spent the last week in beautiful NW Greenland visiting #GCNet weather stations with @icymatters and other amazing #GEUS and @uni_tue colleagues. Big thanks to @VILLUMFONDEN and the @ESA_EO Living Planet Fellowship program for supporting this work!

[Kirk Scanlan @kirk_scanlan]

Also, if you're interested and want to see what's next, be sure to stop by my #EGU talk on Friday afternoon (15:10-15:20) during G6.1!

🚨Fortuitous new paper drop right in the middle of #EGU23! In it @bjsimonsen, @anja_ruti and I look at a new way of observing density and roughness across Greenland using @esa_cryosat and #SARAL. Big thanks to @ProtectSlr @VILLUMFONDEN and #GEUS

We can't believe it's already that time of year again! Next week we'll will be travelling to Vienna for #EGU23 to see old friends, hopefully make new ones, and present what we've been hard at work on this past year. Check 👇 for abstracts led by some our amazing researchers!

[Kirk Scanlan @kirk_scanlan]

Had a fantastic time in Iceland last week with #GEUS and #ASIAQ colleagues training how to keep safe on glaciers with the incomparable people at @AsgardBeyond. Next stop Greenland! @VILLUMFONDEN #VillumExperiment

[Kirk Scanlan @kirk_scanlan]

So glad to work with such amazing people but it seems like I need to find picture with some snow/ice in the background... 🤣

[DTU Cryoshere @DTUcryo]

Introducing all our amazing colleagues starting with our group leader Senior researcher @LSandbergS. She is working with different remote sensing data sets to improve our understanding of what is happening to the Greenland Ice Sheet. Also science lead on the @4Dgreenland project.

[Kirk Scanlan @kirk_scanlan]

Very excited that I can now call myself a PI! Thanks to @VILLUMFONDEN and the #VillumExperiment program for believing in our work! Can't wait to get started digging deeper into how we can leverage Mars and satellite radar altimetry to better understand Earth's ice sheets!

@EGU_CR #Cryoblog is back from holidays !
In today's blog, @anja_ruti brings you along to her GC-Net fieldwork journey and tells you the story of how a new weather station is set up and the types of measurements it can provide!

A new lake has been discovered deep beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, and its sediments may one day offer clues about Antarctica's past, present, and future.

Very excited to have had @UTGeophysics PhD candidate @kristianchan_ visit @DTUcryo to talk about his research on Devon Ice Cap and its implications for future studies of Europa by @EuropaClipper! Great job Kristian!

[Kirk Scanlan @kirk_scanlan]

After a week of inspiring science and amazing people, unfortunately #LPS22 is over for me. Hopefully it won't be +2 years before the next in-person conference.

[Kirk Scanlan @kirk_scanlan]

Getting ready for the Greenland mass balance session A9.04.3 at #LPS22! I'm lucky enough to be part of a great lineup of speakers including @LSandbergS also from @DTUcryo. Won't you come give us a listen!

[Kirk Scanlan @kirk_scanlan]

One advantage of virtual #EGU22 is the ability to quickly "run" from room-to-room to catch great talks by @anja_ruti and @UTGeophysics student Kristian Chan who presentation started exactly one minute after mine without breaking a sweat #cardio

[Kirk Scanlan @kirk_scanlan]

First in-person conference in two years and starting it all off with the Director General of ESA... not bad #LPS22

[Kirk Scanlan @kirk_scanlan]

🚨New Paper Alert 🚨

Colleagues from @UTGeophysics and I (big shout out to @dillonBuhlAtx) wondered if it'd be possible to detect subglacial Rothlisberger channels using polarimetric radar sounding. Will it work? I guess you'll have to read to find out

[DTU Cryoshere @DTUcryo]

We have all been very busy this week preparing for #LPS22 and #EGU22 next week. We are looking forward to a week of interesting science and networking!
