While glacier advance is extremely rare, study of advancing glaciers offers a more complete picture of glacier dynamics and the factors that enable such advances. In Alaska, Yahtse Glacier is the fastest advancing glacier. After a 40-km 20th century retreat, … Continued
I use macs at work due to their fluid interface with the unix environment, and their ability to run unix/linux programs. I’ve recently bought a new mac, which has required that I get it set up for my scientific computing. Below … Continued
Last week, I visited the Boise State Geosciences department to give a seminar on the use of seismology to understand subglacial water flow and sediment transport. I reviewed two of my recent papers, published in GRL (this in 2015, and … Continued
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
