@WaterSHEDLab @teribalser Congratulations!

It's #CoP26 . Time to remind our policy makers that 👏 every emitted kg of CO2 today 👏 will eventually be responsible for a glacier mass loss of 16 kg 👏

In other words, the emissions from aviation in a single year (pre-covid) suffices to melt the equivalent of Aletsch Glacier

@ArcticNet @jholloway15 @Emily_S_Choy @MEOPAR_NCE @jackie_dawson Congratulations to all of you! So well deserved! 🙏

Happy #NunavutDay! I feel so grateful for privilege of being a guest in this beautiful territory for a few months each year to do our work at White Glacier on Axel Heiberg Island. Here's to many more! #FieldworkFriday

Happy #NunavutDay! We are so thankful for the Nunavummiut that always welcome us to their communities, and for the alumni, partners, and friends that have supported us throughout the years.

Watch: Five things you (probably) don’t know about Nunavut!

So what did the #heatdome do to glaciers on the Columbia Icefield? Here's @esa Sentinel2 images from 21 June - 1 July, 2021 (843 composite) of Stutfield Peak (3400 m ) and Saskatchewan Glacier. Snowlines rose by 130-250 m. We haven't even started 'normal' glacier melt season!

Hey glaciology twitter, what the hell is going on here? I think I just found glacial Nazca lines...

Low snow, temperatures > +5°C, and bare, melting ice in APRIL, all made for a challenging spring field season, but I'm so thankful we were able to make it up to White Glacier this year. Thanks to the @NRC_CNRC PCSP team & @KennBorekAir for making it possible! #FieldWorkFriday

@platt_tom Oh no no no, I'm *sure* tomorrow will be a perfect day for weather 🤞 #hopeisnotaplan

[Dr. Laura Thomson @LauraIThomson]

After 3 weeks in isolation and almost 2 years away from the field due to the pandemic, I'm so thrilled for our @queensu team to be heading up to Expedition Fiord and White Glacier today (weather-gods permitting!) What a great way to celebrate Earth Day! ❄️🌎❄️🇨🇦

9 years. Over 70 crevasses blown up and filled in along the traverse route from McMurdo Station to the South Pole. My life’s work. #Antarctica #southpoletraverse #CRREL

As a climate scientist, I’m not sure what to make of epidemiologists who seem genuinely shocked and appalled that government policy is not aligned with their science...

[Northern Inclusion @InclusiveNorth]

And a special thank you to Ted Thompson from Arviat, Nunavut for his performance. Powerful words and storytelling from #Inuit youth today at #ASSW2021 @BAS_News @ArcticNet @IASC_Arctic @IARC_Alaska https://t.co/fpGot1B6WN

I know I know you’re sick of it by now, but I couldn’t resist.
