⛰️ In a new study in @science.org, we project that 39% of the global glacier mass is committed to be lost irrespective of future warming. However, a lot can still be saved - see title: “Glacier preservation doubled by limiting warming to 1.5°C versus 2.7°C” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... [1/n]

⏰ New study shows ambitious mitigation (1.5°C) saves 2X as much ice globally (53% left) than our current pathway, which will destroy >75% glacier ice once it fully adjusts to a warmer climate Every fraction of °C counts! +0.1°C warmer = 2% more glacier mass lost www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🌊🧪

Final study of my PhD is out! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/c... Our multi-model, multi-millennial glacier study shows: Every 0.1°C less warming preserves ~2% more mountain glacier mass; long-term impacts are much larger than 2100-only projections suggest.

🏔️🌍🌎🌏 New study warns: Even if we only temporarily exceed 1.5 °C, mountain glaciers face irreversible losses lasting centuries. Such an overshoot reduces glacier runoff, specifically in regions where some glaciers regrow. Further interested? Check out our new publication: doi.org/10.1038/s415...
