Testimonials

Many thanks to Bethan Davies and everyone else who has taken the time and effort to contribute to this fantastic resource.

Scientific sound, pedagogical explanations

The articles are easy to understand and often have very helpful pictures/schematics. The breadth of content is also very helpful, it’s a fantastic resource

Easily accessible and correct information which is very readable. Love the links to peer-reviewed science too. It’s fantastic.

Fantastic resource for university of teaching. The figures in particular are very useful.

Excellent summaries of science and illustrations that are public / client friendly.

At the moment I’m looking at (and enjoying) the Laurentide Ice sheet – it forms one of the case studies for A level OCR Geography and I was checking the thickness – I thought it was 3km thick although the text book says 1km so I looked for confirmation here as I think it’s pretty reliable.

AntarcticGlaciers.org is a brilliant website that has supported my higher education teaching and the training of my postgaduate researchers for more than a decade.

[I liked] References for further reading in each article, the great and simple figures which are perfectly suited for lectures, the layout

I have used the website extensively with teaching my A-Level students. It has provided both CPD for me in better understanding the subject but also is an excellent resource for the students themselves.

My go-to site for basic information about specific glaciological features and processes

Nothing other than keep doing what you are doing. This website it a great resource for teachers, researchers and beyond and whilst it is a community effort the work you have put into this over the years is so impressive and leaves a legacy.

I do not have a specific favourite page. It’s the overall composition of topics and material which makes the sites extremely useful. I also like the ‘ask a scientist’ option and the ‘answers to your questions’ page. This is wonderful knowledge exchange.

huge range of material, excellent source of information, well explained, great resources for teaching e.g. pictures.

It’s very accessible and the format allows my students to use it independently

Please keep on with your webpage! It is so so so incredibly useful. I would actually have to go straight back to a text book, scan and upload the basic information / images and schematics, if it wasn’t for your lovely webpage.

everytime i visit its like having a conversation with a colleague- i learn something- either new science or a new way to explain a topic, i feel part of a community of scientists because of the invited blogs and page creators.

Incredible amount of valuable information, presented in an engaging, easily understandable way. Amazing photos that are used very effectively to illustrate the articles. Lots of updates – it’s clear the website is being actively maintained and updated with new information. The blog posts are highly informative, timely, and interesting.

AntarticGlaciers is extremely important, much more than I can describe right now. I hope you all keep the good work you’ve been doing these years. We need AntarcticGlaciers.

Excellent information – clearly explained for a less academic audience

Love the website, so great to have this as a teaching and outreach resource. Please keep up the good work!

Clear and well-written. Wide-ranging – I probably wouldn’t cover some of the more intimate problems that people encounter working in these environments but there really is no shortage of material to get stuck into and it does grade it for A level students.
