Good morning! We invite to you watch the recording of the latests #LIQUIDICE #webinar ' #Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat) in a changing #climate ' by Asta Mønsted from the University of #Copenhagen. 🔗 youtu.be/QnJ0cdDL7z8?...

Happy Greenland National Day 🇬🇱 It is celebrated every year on 21 June, marking the longest day of the year and symbolising light, renewal, and Greenlandic identity. LIQUIDICE studies how Greenland Ice Sheet meltwater shapes sea level rise, marine ecosystems, and sustainable energy futures. Fot.GEUS

On 16 June, the LIQUIDICE team met at Arctic House, UCPH, with partners working in Greenland and ICELINK researchers. Discussions focused on fieldwork, stakeholder input, workshops, and future publications. A valuable exchange highlighting the strength of interdisciplinary #collaboration.

🌊 World Oceans Day 🌊 How much has global sea level risen since 2011? 🔋 About the height of an AA battery: 52.7 mm. A significant part of this rise comes from melting glaciers, ice sheets, and snow. That's why understanding the changing cryosphere is so important. It is a key focus of LIQUIDICE.

Thanks to everyone who joined today's LIQUIDICE webinar and the great discussion with Dr. Ekaterina Rets! We explored how climate-driven changes in snow cover and runoff are creating new challenges for water management and hydropower in Norway. Missed it? Watch the recording: youtu.be/UKGF1paKYNc

We continue our #LIQUIDICErs series. Meet Violet Patterson from Danish Meteorological Institute, one of the modellers. She explains how her work helps develop the coupling between global Earth system models and icesheets models 🎥 Watch now! #IceSheets #EarthSystemScience

“LIQUIDICE is a continuum of long-term snow and ice research under the SIOS umbrella.” 🎥 Heikki Lihavainen from SIOS KC explains how the partnership started at the Svalbard Science Conference 2023. SIOS KC leads project's data management, helping make LIQUIDICE research accessible and sustainable.

Despite unusually warm spring conditions in Svalbard, the ISP CNR team managed to complete most planned LIQUIDICE measurements near Ny-Ålesund. At Austre Brøggerbreen, researchers found the snowpack already fully wet and nearly isothermal in April. It is an important signal of rapid Arctic change.

🧊 Fieldwork at Freya Glacier, Greenland Francisco Navarro & Unai Letamendia from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid were using ground penetrating radar to study polythermal glaciers & their responce to climate change. It helps reveal: • ice thickness • bedrock position • cold vs temperate ice layers

Fieldwork update from Northeast Greenland 🇬🇱 While several Svalbard campaigns were shortened or cancelled, the team from University of Madrid completed their Freya Glacier campaign in Greenland despite harsh conditions: no snow for snowmobiles, long hikes with equipment, and GPR surveys on skis.

Be invited to the first LIQUIDICE open webinar! On 2nd June at 10 am Ekaterina Rets from IG PAS will present "Climate change driven structural changes in river runoff bringing about new challenges to water management in Norway" More info & registration link: eu-liquidice.eu/1-liquidice-...

LIQUIDICE co-convened #EGU26 session CR6.8 on linking observations & models of inland ice, snow & permafrost dynamics ❄️ The session explored cryosphere change, Earth observation, modelling, and impacts on climate, hydrology & ecosystems. Thanks to all contributors for the inspiring discussions!

At #EGU26, the Horizon Europe Inland Ice Projects: @cryoscope.bsky.social, @icelink-project.bsky.social, LIQUIDICE and SNOW-PI came together to discuss research synergies, stronger collaboration, and joint communication strategies across Europe’s cryosphere community. Thank you to all participants!

Meet Andrea Spolaor from Istituto di Scienze Polari CNR - Scientific Coordinator of #LIQUIDICE 🧊 He studies ice cores, aerosols & trace elements to understand climate processes, ocean fertilization & sea ice changes. From Arctic to Antarctica his work helps decode Earth’s past & present climate.

🎉 New series: Meet the LIQUIDICErs After introducing our partner institutions, we’re excited to start a new chapter: LIQUIDICErs. We begin with our Project Coordinator, Bartłomiej Luks. And today is a special day…🎂 Happy Birthday, Bartek! We wish you more time spent in the field than on Teams 😉

We recommend you recently published paper by Fausto et al. (2026) in Earth System Science Data. The study presents decades of measurements from the PROMICE and GC-Net networksintegrated into a unified, high-quality resource for climate research. Read full paper: essd.copernicus.org/articles/18/...

Svalbard’s spring is no longer “normal.” “Disappearing winter” paralyzes international research: Waterlogged snow, exposed ground, and risky fieldwork are forcing scientists to rethink how Arctic research is done. ➡️ Remote sensing is becoming essential. Read more: eu-liquidice.eu/crisis-in-sv...

Final post in our #LIQUIDICE “Meet us” series! Meet our coordinator: the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences 🌍 From glaciers & snow to hydrology & permafrost, IG PAS leads the project and drives Diss&Comm activities, contributes to field measurements, data catalogues and impact. ❄️

Ever wondered what snow measurements look like? In March 2026, Ross Woods joined University of Birmingham students in Switzerland to study snowpacks: digging pits, measuring the properties of snow layers & exploring water resources in a changing climate. See what snow research looks like in practice

The planet has lost 4,300+ gigatonnes of glacier ice since 2011. That’s enough to build a pyramid 3× taller than Everest. 📖 Dive into the full Nature interactive to find out more about how the world have differed due to climate change for the last 15 years: www.nature.com/immersive/s4...

An Unusual Arctic Spring: When Snow Fails to Come in Svalbard. Bare ground replaces white landscapes, snowmobiles stop, wildlife struggles, and daily life shifts in unexpected ways. A snowless Arctic spring isn’t just unusual. It’s a glimpse of how quickly our climate is changing.

🌍 Partner spotlight: Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Our collaboration with IIT Bombay brings world-class expertise in engineering and environmental modelling. Led by Prof. Raaj Ramsankaran, the team models the Indus River Basin to assess how climate impacts water availability across regions

🌸🐣 Happy Easter from LIQUIDICE! 🐣🌸 Like the cryosphere in transition ❄️where ice melts, shifts, and reshapes the world around it, spring reminds us that change is powerful, natural, and full of opportunity. Here’s to fresh starts, bold ideas, and new energy this season. 💧✨
