[1/2] 📢 GLAMOS @scnat.ch press release out today: Swiss glaciers lost another 3% of their volume in 2025, the 4th-largest decline ever measured. In just 10 years, they’ve lost a quarter of their ice mass. Over 1k small glaciers have already vanished. 🔗 to press release: scnat.ch/en/uuid/i/9d...

Incredible ice loss measured again at #Konkordiaplatz on the #Aletsch #Glacier, home to the thickest ice in the #Alps (still about 800 m!). Yesterday’s survey revealed another –4.6 m of ice gone in just one year. :( Measurements by @matthias-huss.bsky.social for GLAMOS

We are at #IMC2025 in Innsbruck this week! Be sure not to miss our official #gaphaz session: FS 3.148 - Glacier and permafrost risks in a changing climate (Wed. 13:30). Convened by @jane-walden.bsky.social, #Marta-Chiarle and #Mylène-Jacquemart

Thanks, @davepetley.bsky.social, for the nice blog post about our paper, which was recently published in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences!

Was the Birch Glacier #Blatten landslide due to climate change? Some thoughts here: www.antarcticglaciers.org/2025/05/birc...

Here is a factsheet on what is currently known about Birchgletscher, the Swiss glacier that catastrophically collapsed on 28 May 2025, following heavy debris loading from Kleines Nesthorn. Our thoughts are with all those most deeply affected. polybox.ethz.ch/index.php/s/...

A symbolic heart drawn yesterday by 300 children from the valley, at the estimated location of the Mer de Glace front in 2035... 😢 Glaciers need actions more than symbols. Human need symbols to tell themselves that they have control over their lives 🤍 📷 Cie Guides Chamonix / IG

INSANE !! 😱 Evolution of the upper NW face of Klein Nesthorn this afternoon (2:00 to 6:40 pm) The whole mountain is collapsing... 🏔️❄️🧊 www.aargauerzeitung.ch/schweiz/droh...

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Thanks to my colleagues for joining the @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social Pickathon yesterday afternoon! 🤓 Using seismic data from my field site in Alaska, we identified local events such as rockfall, with the aim being to quantify the uncertainty of a single picker and make an event catalog 🏔️🪨

We're approaching 1,000 followers! 🎉 In true #VAW glaciology tradition, our 1,000th follower will receive a special prize sent by mail. ❄️ Who will it be...? Let's make it happen! 🚀

Swiss public broadcaster #SRF is cutting key science journalism formats, threatening informed public discourse. An open letter, initiated by researchers, calls for strong #science #journalism in Switzerland. Sign and share: openpetition.eu/!sciencejour...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

🚨 PhD Opportunity! 🚨 We're hiring a doctoral student to work on using seismic imaging of geological structures beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet as part of the @SWAIS2C project! Start date: May/June 2025. Interested? Apply now ⤵️ jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOP... www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBT6...

Over the river, and through the woods, to WORK we go; the skis know the way to carry us through the white and drifted snow! ❄️🎿⛷️
