Glaciology PhD student at Durham Uni - mountain glacier hydrology and remote sensing of the cryosphere 🏔️🛰️
- Reposted by Holly Wytiahlowsky@hollywytia.bsky.social has written a short, public-friendly blog post about her new paper in the Cryosphere about supraglacial (ice-surface) streams on Swiss glaciers. Learn more at the link below 👇 durhamglaciology.wordpress.com/2025/12/09/r...
- A few of my recent creations from the office bake-off: the Antarcticake and my finale entry, ‘rake-off’. Happy to have placed first! Will be putting the winnings to good use and buying everyone extra nice Christmas presents this year.
- Reposted by Holly Wytiahlowsky🚨 Interested in the form and variability of the supraglacial hydrological system? @hollywytia.bsky.social et al. explore the controls on channel distribution and characteristics on Swiss Alpine glaciers in a new paper hot off the press at The Cryosphere! ❄️ tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/...
- Wonderful week spent with @geogdurham.bsky.social students on the Arctic fieldtrip learning about Arctic environments, governance, and politics. Great enthusiasm all around! Students even led some roadside yoga and rounders when the bus broke down. Some pretty good northern lights too!
- Had a lovely time at the @igsoc.bsky.social British Branch meeting in Oxford! Great to catch up with familiar faces and meet some new ones too. It was also nice to have received commendations for my talk and left with a new duck companion 🦆!

- Reposted by Holly WytiahlowskyAnother great day of the IGS symposium, with a field trip visiting evidence of glaciation in upper Teesdale, Eden Valley drumlins at Brough Castle, the fluvioglacial landscape of the Brampton Kame Belt, and streamlined bedforms from Tyne Gap ice streaming (plus Roman archaeology) at Hadrian's Wall!
- Fantastic turnout at the @igsoc.bsky.social symposium ECR event last night! Really insightful advice from @iceybethan.bsky.social and Becky Sanderson about how to navigate networking and conferences! We enjoyed putting their tips into practice during speed networking afterwards.
- If anyone is looking for advice on networking or often finds it’s a bit daunting I’d recommend checking out the post written by @iceybethan.bsky.social sharing her top tips. www.antarcticglaciers.org/2025/07/stra...

- Reposted by Holly WytiahlowskyCongratulations to @cristinabalaban.bsky.social who was back visiting Durham today for graduation! 🎓 Cristina's PhD research reconstructed the past glaciation of the Southern Carpathians, Romania, and she is now continuing her palaeoglaciological work as a postdoc in Prague. Well done Cristina! 👏❄️🍾

- Finally heading home after what may be my last @iapetusdtp.bsky.social student conference! As always, fantastic to hear everyone’s research updates and catch-up with my cohort.
- Beautiful karst landscapes in Central Vietnam at the largest cave in the world. Can’t seem to avoid a bit of geography on holiday!

- Our new preprint (and the first of my PhD!) is now open for discussion in The Cryosphere ❄️. We produced the first large-scale inventory of supraglacial channels in an alpine environment and provide insight into meltwater pathways and channel distribution. doi.org/10.5194/egus...
