Glaciology PhD from CU Boulder who loves meltwater percolation in firn. Slight identity crisis between Lynn and Nicki. Tweets my personal views.

Hey @ThwaitesGlacier! I’m a graduate student and glaciologist at @CUBoulderATOC who studies meltwater hidden beneath the surface in firn aquifers in both the #Arctic and #Antarctic using geophysical measurements in the field and climate models (in a slightly warmer setting).

Hello #ECR tweeps! Share your science this #cryospherewednesday & I’ll retweet your *cool* research!

Even if you don’t study ice in particular, anything related to #climatescience via the colder parts of this world is fine by me!

Ready? GO!

If you’re ever worried that one of your ideas isn’t worth the funding you’re asking for, be inspired knowing the laughing escalator in the Colorado Convention Center had a budget of ~$60K #AMS2023

My weather station in Cheyenne was 41.5F at 12:55PM, and then 18.9F at 1:00PM. Almost 23 degrees in 5 minutes. Now it’s 3.2F and still dropping fast!

NEW DATA ALERT 🚨❄️ Exciting news for #cryosphere researchers using observations of:

🧊 Density
🌨 Accumulation
🌡 Borehole temperatures
📏 Sea ice snow depth

The latest updates to the SUMup database are now published (link below 👇🏼)! Keep reading to learn what’s new (1/7)

The threat of Lightning in Denver is nearly zero through tonight. #cowx

[Megan Thompson-Munson @GlacialMeg]

Sometimes you do science and sometimes you make goofy comics for science. Either way, I hope you're excited for the first ever International Firn Workshop!

Please enjoy these #FirnWorkshop comics and soon-to-be stickers... ❄️🧊

@martin2098 @alexa_maines HRRR?

[Lynn (Nicki) Montgomery @lynnicki]

@kelseyl4tely @UMiamiRSMAS Congrats Dr. Malloy!!!!!! You crushed it, can't wait to see what you do next 🤩

[CIRA @CIRA_CSU]

Lightning within severe and tornadic storms in Kansas and Nebraska.

[Lynn (Nicki) Montgomery @lynnicki]

@GlacialMeg Congrats!!!! ☃️🌨❄

[Lynn (Nicki) Montgomery @lynnicki]

love a good glaciology talk explaining firn as a sponge! @DevonDunmire @MinesGlaciology #COGworkshop

[Tim Bartholomaus @TimBartholomaus]

Did you know...

the U.S. and globe's best (but unfortunately, problematic) sea level rise projections come from a group of 50 or so mostly-volunteer scientists, working in their spare time?

Based on their results, governments are anticipating $1 Trillion in adaptation spending.

today i texted my dad about something we did 'a decade ago' so i guess that makes me officially old

[Lynn (Nicki) Montgomery @lynnicki]

can also vouch that @alexa_maines is the pop culture expert in my life

[NWS Cleveland @NWSCLE]

We continue to show off our NWS meteorologists in Cleveland. Today we spotlight Alexa! Alexa has spent her entire NWS career in Cleveland. She is involved with our hydrology, Weather Ready Nation and outreach teams! #WomensHistoryMonth

[National Weather Service @NWS]

With severe storms expected, it's a good time to learn the difference between a Watch and a Warning. https://t.co/ZjXvgBPGvO

[Lynn (Nicki) Montgomery @lynnicki]

always a good day when you see some KH instability 🤩

[Lynn (Nicki) Montgomery @lynnicki]

To sum it up (😉) @GlacialMeg has created an awesome new and easy to use tool to look at firn density measurements across BOTH ice sheets from the SUMup dataset - check it out!

[Megan Thompson-Munson @GlacialMeg]

❄️🚨NEW CRYO TOOL ALERT🚨❄️ If you use firn density measurements from the SUMup dataset, check out the latest processing tool I developed: SUMMEDup (https://t.co/frXWJx9RTE)

Here's a thread showing some of the neat things you can do with SUMMEDup 👇🏼

[Lynn (Nicki) Montgomery @lynnicki]

@alexa_maines flew all the way to nashville to get a pic with the geico gecko and go to rainforest cafe 🤣 miss you already 🥰

[Mike Ventrice @MJVentrice]

I can't fathom seeing the #tonga Volcanic eruption in real-time from boat. This is insane.
