“I thought we’d be lucky to see a little bit of change on a few glaciers. But we were seeing unbelievable change on almost everything we were looking at." In 2007, James Balog began using timelapse cameras to document glacial change in real time. He was stunned by what he saw.

Kyrgyz's #glaciers are experiencing significant mass losses this summer. Our measurements confirm our real-time mass balance model. The cause? Warm weather and a lack of snow showers to slow the melt. The 'water tower' of Central Asia is under increasing pressure.

These record highs driving the resulting record lows for mountain glaciers.

IGS BB 2024! Great being back at University of Liverpool this week presenting a poster on my research in monitoring the changes in glacial lakes in the Kā Tiritiri-o-te-Moana, Aotearoa (Southern Alps, New Zealand) using an Object-Based Image Analysis approach in Google Earth Engine IGS EGG

The massive Mt.Nanda Devi, as seen from Auli. The peak that has a lot of stories and histories revolving around. One of the most iconic peaks of Indian Himalayas

September 2023, a massive landslide in eastern Greenland caused a 200m tsunami, sending seismic waves worldwide for nine days! 🪨🌊🔊 This event started with a glacial thinning–induced rock-ice avalanche of 25 × 106 m3 plunging into Dickson Fjord! 😳🔥 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🔍 New in Nature Water & from an MRI Synthesis Workshop: Experts reveal the overlooked role of cryosphere-groundwater interactions in mountain water cycles. The gap could skew water predictions, especially amid #ClimateChange. ➡️ loom.ly/uoAwvS8 💧🌍 #OurChangingMountains

The white ice is turning into blue water... Impression from today's GLAMOS fieldwork on Findel #Glacier, Zermatt. Significant ice loss again despite lots of snow in winter. The decay of our beautiful glaciers is ongoing 😢

Ice melting at Konkordiaplatz, Great Aletschgletscher, continues. No relief for #glaciers... 4 meters of ice loss over the thickest ice of the European Alps in the year 2024 😢 Stay posted for the publication of our results on 1 Oct GLAMOS VAW Glaciology SCNAT

Konkordia ice loss (Aletsch Glacier) 2022 | 2023 | 2024 Thickness loss at the thickest ice in the Alps! 🔥 Last two years were record breaking... 🌡️ What do you think of the protective effect of the thickest snowpack in 25 years? 😅 Data/pic Matthias Huss GLAMOS

Mer de Glace 🧊🔥 1990 | 2023 During this 30 yr-period, MdG lost more than 130m in thickness at this location (Echelets profile)! 😱 studio-haverstraat.nl/merdeglace.html By Anton van Tetering 🗺

Yet another preprint 📰 co-authored by Mauro Werder and Daniel Farinotti! This study explores the non-linear dynamics of sediment transport in subglacial channels 🌊, revealing key differences from subaerial systems. 🔗: egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2024…

The frequency of natural hazards and extreme weather events have gone up. It's a serious concern for the global population for the next decade. We need better models to accurately predict such events for building better adaptive capacities.

[1/2] And bad news this year too: despite the snow-rich winter, Swiss glaciers lost 2.4% of their total ice volume in the past year. 🧊 Glacier melt in August was even record-breaking. 🏔️ For more details, see the press release by GLAMOS: scnat.ch/en/id/GPLBt.

‼️Call for Abstract‼️ We are excited to announce the call for abstracts for the 2nd Indian Cryosphere Meet (ICM-2025), which will be held at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, India, on February 14-15, 2025 IIT Bombay RAAJ Ramsankaran sites.google.com/view/icm2025/

Swiss mountain webcams capture not only #glaciers, but also the Northern Lights during strong solar storms hitting Earth, as last night. 🌌❄️ #AuroraBorealis

We are organizing a workshop "HIMTRAIN: HImalayan glacier Monitoring and TRAIning" at IIT Indore (11-15 November). Please see the details below. The candidates can register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
