With emissions still rising 📈 and the catastrophic consequences 🔥 becoming ever clearer, geoengineering is getting ever more tempting 🧪 But a review has concluded that the main methods proposed to save polar ice 🧊 are not doable or won't work www.newscientist.com/article/2495...

It's the time of the year GLAMOS measurements on around 20 Swiss #glaciers start. We've been on Rhone, Allalin, Corvatsch, ... these days. Not all as shiny white as here! Major losses also in 2025. Stay posted for the press release via @scnat.ch on 1 Oct @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social

Look at how glaciers in Heard Island (a sub-antarctic island) is retreating over time

📣 Job opportunity 📣 Come work with us at Monash as a 3yr Research Fellow on ice sheet-atmosphere coupling! You'll sit within @arcsaef.bsky.social and be part of the @access-nri.bsky.social ice sheets team, pushing frontiers in Earth System Modelling ❄️🇦🇶 👉 careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/jo...

This is the collapsing terminus of Rhone #glacier yesterday - retreating out of its proglacial lake. Impressive changes going on during the heat wave! We measured almost 3 meters of ice melting over the last 4 weeks... This is 10 cm of ice layer removed every single day!!

I’m delighted to share that our new paper is now out in @natclimate.nature.com! Our long-term, monthly Antarctic-wide dataset of surface meltwater shows that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is becoming increasingly prone to surface meltwater ponding.

My views on climate warming and glaciers. What the future gonna look like? Listen youtu.be/AjE-vC0R1QE?...

A busy couple of weeks for the Losing their Cool team - we've drilled, cored, installed thermistors & erected an AWS, all at 6500m beneath the Lhotse Face. Next challenge is to get a flight out of Lukla 😄 @matt-peacey.bsky.social @climatom.bsky.social @unileedsnews.bsky.social @envleeds.bsky.social

I recently got an opportunity to speak on glaciers and how would the world look like if the climate is continuously warming up, and glaciers are losing mass. Tried my best to communicate from my experiences and domain knowledge in this podcast! Please listen ⬇️ youtu.be/AjE-vC0R1QE?...

Properly mind-blowing event yesterday east of Annapurna II (NE face visible here, 7,937 m, Nepal)! 😱 Probably triggered by ice (+rock?) avalanche at high elev., given the reach and the absence of snow at the moment 🧊 The extent of the aerosol is... HUGE! ❄️🌪️ Source www.tiktok.com/@lakpasherpi...

Tschierva Glacier 1949 | 2003 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 One of my fav glacier in the Alps, because of its (past) aesthetics and the huge amount of subfossil wood there (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...) ...now sealed under 5 million m3 of rock fallen in 2024 (before last pic)! 📷 Gletscherarchiv.de

It was a great opportunity to talk about Antarctica, the Himalayas, and climate science on the 1st UNESCO World Day for Glaciers in my loving hometown- Chandannagar, among people who have been admiring my journey and my adventures since I was a small kid.

More than half a billion years ago on a frigid, ice-covered Earth, glaciers stirred up ingredients for complex life by bulldozing land minerals and then depositing them in the ocean, according to a new study. cnn.it/4hTgeql

I think this is my favourite report cover of all time. Any others?

Our paper on the 2023 S. Lhonak GLOF & multihazard cascade, out today in Science! This ‘natural’ hazard had the fingerprints of human activity all over it: climate change, glacier retreat, permafrost degradation, and hydropower dam breach. Read here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Oh god, just put this over a photo I took in October 2024 (reduced the opacity so you can see both the old level and current level), the ice level has fallen dramatically :(

Is the polar vortex responsible for the current cold snap over much of the U.S.? Our experts discuss this in our most recent Polar Vortex Blog: www.climate.gov/news-feature...
