And here comes the snow ❄️ Summer is indeed short: Left: today. Middle: 14 june. But there WAS summer in between (Right) 😀Last post from the station tomorrow @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social

First nightfrost, followed by a beautiful sunny morning, captured by our Time Lapse Camera at #LakeTarfala. These are the last days before closing the station @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social after more than 3 months of 24/7 operation👍 #glacier #massbalance results to come soon!

For the first time since Stockholm Univ. was awarded UN observer status, a researcher (Prado Domercq) attended negotiations on a global treaty to end plastic pollution as part of the Scientists' Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty. @marleneagerstrand.bsky.social www.su.se/department-o...

Vad är Golfströmmen och vad händer om den kollapsar? Lyssna till oceanografen @leonchafik.bsky.social som svarar på frågor i Morgonpasset i P3. Léon Chafik forskar om Golfströmmen och havsklimat vid @bolincentre.bsky.social på @stockholm-uni.bsky.social #Klimat www.sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/det-...

End of season is approaching at Tarfala Research Station @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social. Autumn colours at the station, #glacier #massbalance measurements in full swing @matthias-huss.bsky.social @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social @swisspolar.bsky.social, now also with a #SmartStake 👍

See Prof. Nina Kirchner, director of @tarfalaresstation.bsky.social, in @svtnyheter.bsky.social earlier today on how the southern peak of #Kebenekaise continues to melt. 1,5 meters since last year... 🌡️⛰️🥵 (In Swedish)

This year's measurement of Kebnekaise's southern peak by @tarfalaresstation.bsky.social shows that the peak has decreased by 1.5 metres compared to last year. This is the seventh year in a row that Kebnekaise´s southern peak is lower than the northern peak. #Climate #Arctic www.su.se/english/news...

Tarfala forskningsstation @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social bidrar med en föreläsning om glaciärer och glaciäråret 2024/2025 som avslutas snart innan den första snön kommer (ja, ett glaciärår är inte samma som ett kalenderår 😀). Välkommen! forskarfredag.se/program/glac...

New paper out, on #Ryder #glacier #NorthernGreenland #icesheetmodelling. Great collaboration @bolincentre.bsky.social @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @uio.no @dartmouthears.bsky.social #jifresse tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/.... More about the swedish glaciers and their #massbalance 2024/2025 soon 😀

Great read in Swedish by @fof.se with member @linegreis.bsky.social! 👇 The European spruce bark beetle is affecting the forest microclimate, making it up to 2°C warmer.🪲🌡️ Discover how below.

📣Join us at DEEP! We have several open positions at the moment: - Postdoc Fellow in Evolutionary Genomics - PhD student in Fungal Evolutionary Biology - PhD student in Fungal Biology - Research engineer in Fungal Biology Help us spread the word! 🗣️ @stockholm-uni.bsky.social

The @ipcc.bsky.social has selected 3 Bolin Centre researchers as authors for the upcoming Seventh Assessment Report (AR7) – congratulations to deputy director Gustaf Hugelius, Ninis Rosqvist and Erik Kjellström! 👏 @stockholm-uni.bsky.social

New study in @heredityjournal.bsky.social shows how leaf beetles evolve defence genes to fight off a shared parasitoid wasp. 🪲🦟 Co-authored by researchers at DEEP, this study reveals lineage-specific targets of positive selection, offering fresh insights into host–parasite coevolution. 👇

A study co-authored by Prof. Hambäck at DEEP shows that wild bee diversity drives apple seed set much more than managed honeybees. Functional diversity makes the biggest difference. The takeaway: healthy, diverse wild pollinator communities are key for productive orchards. 🐝🍎 Access it here:

Tarfala Research Station's 80 yrs Anniversary conference concluded with an excursion to #Storglaciären and lots of discussions with international guests from US, Spain, Switzerland #WGMS as well as from #SwedishPolarResearch. Thank you all and @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social

"Like many dysfunctional relationships, the UNFCCC and the IPCC need to talk more" Read comment in @climatechangenews.com by Örjan Gustafsson and Svante Bodin at @bolincentre.bsky.social #Climate #ClimatChange #UN #IPCC #UNFCCC

The structural divide between the IPCC and UNFCCC is hindering timely and effective climate action, says members Svante Bodin and Örjan Gustafsson. The misalignment in timing, relevance, and communication between the two bodies limits the global response to the climate crisis. ‼️

Just nu är isbrytaren Oden på väg mot Arktis för att kartlägga havsbotten. Ombord finns även 18 doktorander från olika länder på en forskarskola där praktiskt arbete kombineras med föreläsningar. Michael Tjernström vid @bolincentre.bsky.social leder forskarskolan. #Arktis www.su.se/nyheter/fors...
