                  Alun Hubbard, a glaciologist, spends a lot of time on the Greenland ice sheet, and he does some of the most dangerous scientific work I have ever seen. That includes rappelling down into moulins – the deep holes that meltwater rivers bore through the ice sheet. He describes the scene below the surface and the way millions of deep cracks in the ice are allowing water to deteriorate the ice sheet from the inside as global temperatures rise. That meltwater and Greenland’s accelerating ice loss have widespread impacts for coastal communities around the world. The photos alone will send chills up your spine.

And as Australia go 2-0 up in the Ashes series of Test cricket after a dramatic and controversial match in London, we consider England's cavalier style. It may not quite be winning them Ashes Tests (yet?), but it is winning the sport new fans.

                  Alun Hubbard, University of Tromsø 

                  Glaciologists are discovering new ways surface meltwater alters the internal structure of ice sheets, and raising an alarm that sea level rise could be much more abrupt than current models forecast.

                  French riots: when police shot a teenager dead, a rumbling pressure cooker exploded

                  I’ve interviewed disaffected people across French suburbs. Their anger has been mounting for years.

                  The Ashes: how England cricket’s head coach Brendon McCullum developed his ‘Bazball’ style 
                  David Turner, Anglia Ruskin University; Matt Jewiss, Anglia Ruskin University 

                  Bazball is aggressively attacking, highly entertaining and piles pressure on opponents by scoring runs quickly.
                 
                       
                          a.. Cricket commentators love to talk about the ‘nervous nineties’ – but our new research suggests there’s no such thing 
                          Leo Roberts, The University of Melbourne; Daniel R. Little, The University of Melbourne; Matthew J. Spittal, The University of Melbourne; Mervyn Jackson, RMIT University 

                          The ‘nervous nineties’ captures the idea that batters with 90 or more runs become anxious as get close to scoring a century. But is it true?

                          Shana MacDonald, University of Waterloo; Alysia Kolentsis, University of Waterloo 

                          The stabbings at the University of Waterloo remind us that violence for daring to stand in a classroom and speak is still ever-present.

                          Neil D’Cruze, University of Oxford; Jennah Green, Manchester Metropolitan University 

                          About 8,000 lions are being held in facilities across South Africa. In some cases, a legal operation is plugged into an illicit trade network.

                          Chris Impey, University of Arizona 

                          Astronomers have for the first time detected the background hum of gravitational waves likely caused by merging black holes.

                          Amy Walters, Australian National University 

                          Anna Funder’s new book, Wifedom, is a meditation on the insidious nature of patriarchy. Funder draws parallels between our #metoo era and the time of George Orwell and his wife Eileen.

                          William Chittenden, Texas State University 

                          The Supreme Court rejected President Joe Biden’s student loan program that aimed at delivering up to $20,000 of relief per borrower.

                          Ben McCann, University of Adelaide 

                          Actors love to return to their most famous roles decades later – and digital de-ageing is Hollywood’s next big thing.
