#Trump or #Harris?
In our latest video report, we went to the main street in #Tromsø, northern #Norway, to ask passersby who they would vote for if they had the chance. thebarentsobserver.com/news/…
The power of ice...
Over the last 2.7 million years, ice sheets eroded ~3.7 quadrillion tons of rock from the Eurasian Arctic to create the Barents Sea we know today.

A simplified version of the Barents Shelf landscape evolution is also included on the interactive Icemap website at icemap.rhewlif.xyz

Warmest #Svalbard summer ever
Three years in a row experts register record high temperatures on the archipelago, with August being unusually warm. thebarentsobserver.com/en/cl… #arctic #norway #longyearbyen
A professional photographer joined us for a day on the Greenland ice sheet and took some nice shots while we were drilling through the ice:

Methane release hotspots discovered in the central Barents Sea are releasing ~9,803 tonnes of CH4 per year into the water column
Geological and glaciological controls show how these 21,700 natural seeps are likely to continue leaking.

My report about #plastic pollution in the #Norwegian rivers - “It’s scary!” - researchers ring the alarm. I also spoke to those who are developing bio-degradable plastics that will help reduce the impact of pollution in the #Barents Sea. thebarentsobserver.com/en/no…

When was that moraine created??
Luminescence ages from the sub-surface of cobbles, collected from moraines in the Konglongluo Valley, Tibetan Plateau, agree with 10Be age control!
Do get in touch if interested in this new moraine-dating technique!!

Congratulations to Teitur Hinrichsen for successfully defending his superb MSc thesis on 'marine' eskers found in the Barents Sea and Bothnian Gulf 🥳🙌
Also a warm thanks to the examiners @SchomackerAnder and Kelly Hogan – at Tromsø, Norway

I've had a great day explaining to scientists from the Arctic University of Norway (@UiTNorgesarktis and @iC3_COE) how to communicate their science with journalists, give interviews and pitch a story.
Rule #1 - be fabulous.
Let's bring science to the masses!

Arctic glaciers release 45 billion tonnes of meltwater into the coastal ocean every year. This stimulates fjord productivity via the release of nutrients – but also exerts toxic effects through release of glacier-derived heavy metals.
Research note:

The melting cryosphere is a global source of #methane.
CH4-emitting surge-type glaciers found in Yukon, Canada, raise the question of whether the magnitude of CH4 emissions could be influenced by glacier dynamics.
