💧 Impressive meltwater flows at Pers Glacier! Postdoc @marit-vantiel.bsky.social and Leo Hösli recently carried out fieldwork at the #Pers #glacier, where they collected sensor data and performed tracer measurements to quantify discharge in the proglacial stream.

[1/4] New paper 📣 this study, led by PhD student @jane-walden.bsky.social, was recently published in NHESS: doi.org/10.5194/nhes....

🚨Session alert🚨 We will host a special session to discuss the 🏔️ Nesthorn-Birchglacier hazard cascade at IMC Innsbruck. Abstract submissions will open in July, registration will still be possible. imc2025.info/imc25/specia... Join us to discuss this extraordinary event! #hazards #glaciers #cascade

[1/2] We’ve released a new version of the factsheet on #Birchgletscher -- the Swiss glacier that catastrophically collapsed on 28 May 2025 following heavy debris loading from Kleines Nesthorn -- and some first field impressions that we were able to collect yesterday 🗂 polybox.ethz.ch/index.php/s/...

Every +0.1°C of global warming leads to ~2% more glacier ice loss. Sticking to the #ParisAgreement (+1.5°C) would preserve over half the ice compared to current policies (+2.7°C). This is the result of a new study based, led by Harry Zekollari, Lilian Schuster & several co-authors from our group.

A study in Communications Earth & Environment finds that snowmelt runoff in the western US is composed primarily of older groundwater, dating back 5.7 years on average. go.nature.com/4iXF5ZX ⚒️ 🧪

#EGU25 is a wrap! Including 500 km of biking 🚲 through wind 🌬️, rain 🌧️ and sunshine ☀️ to/from Vienna was such a nice way to prepare for and process all the insights of the conference - pushing pedals and enjoying landscapes 🤩

Travel to Vienna #EGU25 started…. in the rain 🌧️ combining 🚊🚞 and 🚲 this time! #bike2EGU

🚨 Abstract submissions for our IMC session on "Drought in mountain regions" are due Thursday (20 Feb)! 🏔️💦❄️🔆Join us to explore case studies of drought impacts in various mountain ranges, investigate up-downstream connections and drought propagation processes and more: imc2025.info/imc25/sessio...

Only four days left to submit your abstract to the session "Global change impacts for mountain water resources and downstream implications" at the International Mountain Conference in Innsbruck September this year! With @marit-vantiel.bsky.social & Timo Schaffhauser imc2025.info/imc25/sessio...

Doing research on mountains and water?🏔️💦🧊❄️ Join our #EGU25 session "Mountain hydrology under global change" (HS2.1.2) - submit an abstract before January 15 ⏰ @danielviviroli.bsky.social @davidharo84.bsky.social The session is linked to our #IAHS Helping working group "Drought in Mountain Regions"

🚨 PhD Opportunity! 🚨 We're hiring a doctoral student to work on numerical models for subglacial lakes in Antarctica as part of the new @snsf-ch.bsky.social's GLADDER project, led by #VAW's Mauro Werder! Start date: January/February 2025. Interested? Apply now ⤵️ apply.refline.ch/273855/1680/...

Spend the last few days visiting Marit van Tiel @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social in Zurich! Some snow walking, followed by endless good science and life conversations with Marit, a seminar and some sightseeing. A packed and enjoyable few days :)
