Warmest #Svalbard summer ever Three years in a row experts register record high temperatures on the archipelago, with August being unusually warm. thebarentsobserver.com/en/climate-cri… #arctic #norway #longyearbyen

New from irene quaile ''This summer, #Svalbard’s ice caps underwent extreme episodes of melting, brought on by exceptionally high air temperatures.'' #Climate #Arctic #environment rcinet.ca/eye-on-the-arc…

Working on glaciers is what we like most. The possibility to work under a glaciers is far more rare. Here is what we encountered during our last trip on #Rhonegletscher!

Les records de températures moyennes s'accélèrent au #Svalbard. Et ce n'est pas sans conséquence pour nos latitudes. Avec Dr. Heïdi Sevestre Daan van den Broek RFI rfi.fr/fr/environneme…

Alors que certains ont l’impression que cet été n’a pas été très chaud, cette interview du climatologue Christophe Cassou est puissante : il ne l'a jamais AUTANT été.

The probability of record-shattering extreme #precipitation events is projected to be higher in a changing than a stationary #climate at the end of the century, with the steepest rise in vulnerability in the #tropics. Read the full article at 👉 nature.com/articles/s4324…

I am running out of words to describe how absurd August 2024 was in Svalbard. Reaching an average temperature of 11°C in August would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. This is totally bonkers.

Our new research out today in Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews reveals how the fossil fuel industry has strategically invested in universities for decades to block transformative climate action. w/ Sofia Hiltner, Emily Eaton Noel Healy Andrew Scerri Geoffrey Supran THREAD

Last month featured particularly anomalous sea surface temperatures in the Barents Sea region of the #Arctic Ocean (record warm for August). The cooler temperatures also continued in parts of the Bering Sea. Data from psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/d…

When you don't need the executive summary to pitch your report

Une étude sur 1500 politiques climatiques dans 41 pays montre à quel point l’écologie est une question globale et complexe. Il ne faut pas seulement contraindre, mais aussi inciter, pas juste faire payer mais aussi subventionner. Analyse de ⁦Matgoa⁩ lemonde.fr/idees/article/…

There was an accelerated loss of sea ice volume last month in the #Arctic. We are not far from a record low. Each line represents one year from 1979 [dark blue] to 2023 [dark red]. This year is shown in yellow - now updated through all of August 2024 zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice…

🤯 hope no one was hurt.

Pouvoir constater la disparition d’un glacier à l’échelle d’une vie humaine indique que l’impact est "énorme", "car les glaciers mettent des milliers d’années à se former". "Cette année, il sera peut-être trop tard pour les glaciers des Pyrénées" lindependant.fr/2024/09/11/cet…

Trop hate d'etre au What A Trip ! Festival fin Septembre! 🥳

Update: This summer was the hottest summer since 1880 when modern recordkeeping began. August 2024 is the 15th month in a row of record-breaking monthly temperatures. More: nasa.gov/earth/nasa-fin…

1/2 With the end of the hydrological year (Sep 2023 => Aug 2024) of the Arctic ice caps, it is the time to build some statistics. Over the East Arctic (Svalbard and the Russian Arctic), absolute record of surface mass loss from 1940 according to the MAR model forced by ERA5 ...

Shock to the system 🥶 Unusually strong cold is pouring south out of the Arctic into Europe right now. This is an ideal setup for deep fresh snow accumulations in the Alps and flooding in Central Europe. This is about as cold as it gets this early in September.

Snow is falling locally below 700m in NE Italy, historic event not remembered in memory life this time of the year. Let's expect even full monthly records low to fall. In the meanwhile temperatures will rise again >27C in the Arctic Circle in Russia and break records.
