In this latest issue we share new research, led by academics from Northumbria University’s Centre for Polar Observations and Modelling, into the rate at which polar ice sheets are melting. Their findings reveal that the seven worst years for ice loss occurred during the past decade, with 2019 being the worst year on record. See our front-page story for more details.

Other stories in this issue include a Northumbria Professor given rare access to the world’s largest deep space telescope, new research into support for military widows, formal recognition for Newcastle’s original feminist, and the 69-year-old PhD student following his passion for history at Northumbria.

There is also news of Northumbria’s position in the latest Complete University Guide, as well as potentially life-changing new research into a common eye disease, and a new invention which uses solar power to extract clean drinking water from the air.
