The movement of the tectonic plates along the fault captured by satellites at Nurdağı, Turkey, following the 6-7 February earthquakes. The relative shift is around 3-4 meters [📷Andreas Schafer, Maxar Technologies]

There are no stationary objects in the Universe: even our Solar System is moving not only around the center of the Galaxy (828,000 km/h) but also relative to its nearest stellar neighbors (70,000 km/h) [starwalkapp: buff.ly/3lsIwjk] x.com/tuidelescriban…

Footage of an avalanche in the Kunlun Mountains (Qinghai) running into a small river. Not sure our hydrological models are quite capable of representing these yet! 📽️ redd.it/12ljthb

Thanks to a recent innovative way of processing data from ESA's CryoSat mission, scientists have discovered that glaciers lost 2720 Gigatonnes of ice between 2010 and 2020, 2% of their total volume and it’s because of higher air temperatures: esa.int/Applications/O…

What have you done over the last 5 yrs (Sept, 2018-July, 2023)? Sadly my fav glacier (Klinaklini) has lost 5 Gt of water. 😪Cloudy shots omitted. B. Floyd VIU University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) Hakai Institute met station.

About five million cubic meters of mudflow material was deposited around the Shovi Resort (Buba River gorge, Georgian Caucasus) due to a massive mudflow that happened yesterday 4/08/23. About ten people died. Four dozen missing 😑 #stopclimatechange

Half-mountain breaks off: hikers tremble On 30 July, a half-mountain detached from the Bisisthal in the municipality of Muotathal (SZ). Almost 500,000 cubic metres of rock tumbled down the valley like an avalanche. Video: lecteur-reporter/fch 20min.ch/fr/video/une-d…

#Glaciers visualize #climate change - And they win the 2023 "Climate Journalism Award" by European Journalism Centre Wow! Happy this project bringing together journalists and scientists made it interaktiv.tagesanzeiger.ch/2022/gletscher… It illustrates the impact of policy-decisions on glaciers Marc Brupbacher Mathias Lutz

Excellent to finally visit the Glacier Garden in Lucerne this morning. Glacially-polished bedrock, sub-glacial potholes, ice age dioramas and much more. Strongly recommended! 🇨🇭

Remember Rhône glacier viral post? 👇 Comments below this tweet (viewed 4.6 M times!) reflect the abysmal level of ecological awareness on Twitter This is how Mer de Glace behaved during almost the same 15yr interval (2007-2022): ~80 m thinning at 1800 m asl! EarthBreath
