I'm unaware of any Fedi service for / and - if anyone knows of any please let me know, I'd like to add them to the map.

The people of will likely soon be subjected to a torrent of social media information intended to sway popular opinion.

Now is a good time for all communities to put a locally-governed alternative in place to ensure digital sovereignty and language equity.

Local voices must remain independent, safe, and heard.

@MAKS23 I don't know how the people of Greenland 🇬🇱 feel about all this, but at least they might be pleased that they are getting more attention than any time in the past millennium, when Vikings and Indigenous people were fighting over it.

And I recently learned that the native name is Kalaallit Nunaat, which I have no idea how to pronounce, but I've learned something.

My best ever "home" office view? Probably.

Family holiday time is over and I'm.on a #writingRetreat the next few days before #Fieldwork starts in earnest again.

This might be the most beautiful place I've ever tried to write a paper. And it's actually going surprisingly well too.
The polar day helps in this case ...

Offline on #fieldwork last few days, so posting some late updates. Still in #Greenland + bad internet so will take a while likely! Here's one highlight from our glaciers tour.

@IceClimate - mélange zone Melville Glacier with massive, fresh icebergs. Large calving event this week, slightly unusual so early in the year + with so much fast ice, calving is an important process to understand.

PixelfedRuth Mottram (@IceClimate@pixelfed.social)The start of the mélange zone in front of Melville Glacier, massive and fresh icebergs formed an ice wall. Large calving event this week, slightly unusual so early in the year and with so much fast ice, unfortunately we missed recording it but our instruments will get the next one. Greenland loses around half of it's ice by calving so it's an important process to understand. This glacier is clearly very dynamic. It's an incredible field site, the glacier is continuously pushing and heaving and you can hear it while you're there. Lots of seals around on the sea ice too and many polar fox tracks... Some long days and no internet so posting a few late pictures now with some fieldwork updates.
