I’m just back from Taku Glacier, Alaska, where UI grad student Margot Vore, UT-Austin grad student Taylor Borgfeldt, and I retrieved new seismic data from a network set up on and around the glacier. We had a great trip, and were … Continued
I’m excited to welcome Margot Vore to my glacier dynamics group at UI. Margot will be working to better understand the flow of water through and under glaciers, through the analysis of seismic data. She’ll be analyzing seismic data recorded … Continued
This fall, I’ve moved to the University of Idaho to begin work as an Assistant Professor and expand my lab group. I’ve begun working with a graduate student who will work with glaciohydraulic tremor data to better understand changes in … Continued
I’ll be giving a talk in the plenary session on Renaissance Seismology: Seismology for Non-Traditional Targets at the upcoming IRIS National Workshop, in Vancouver, WA. I’m looking forward to sharing my perspectives on the tremendous utility of seismology for glacier … Continued
Three new papers are now in press in Geophysical Research Letters, Journal of Glaciology and the Annals of Glaciology. These papers are: Bartholomaus, T. C., L. A. Stearns, D. A. Sutherland, E. L. Shroyer, J. D. Nash, R. Walker, … Continued
The Uummannaq region of West Greenland is a spectacular area of steep cliffs, icefalls, and long fjords. While on a NASA-funded research project to better understand the connections between water in these fjords and the glaciers terminating there, I’ve had … Continued
I’ve begun tweeting, under the handle @TimBartholomaus. I’m commenting about glaciology, sea level rise, climate science, polar and alpine field work, and science in general. You can follow my posts, with or without your own Twitter account, at https://twitter.com/TimBartholomaus
One of my two presentations at the AGU fall meeting this year is the subject of a well done blog post. In the presentation, my co-authors and I reported the detection of over one million icequakes produced near the terminus … Continued
I’m pleased to report that I’ve been promoted from Postdoctoral Fellow to Research Associate, at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics in Austin, Texas. I’ll be continuing my research into glaciological processes and glacier change through the use of … Continued
After spending September in Greenland, the UT/KU team has returned from our third and final field season in the Uummannaq region of western Greenland. We recovered equipment that has been monitoring tidewater glaciers in the region for two years, as … Continued
