CZO@Bayelva (Svalbard, summer 2026): unusually warm & dry conditions triggered early senescence — tundra shifted to net CO2 source by late July. Campaign combined flux chamber, flux data & hyperspectral imaging across soil moisture gradient. #Tundra #CO2Fluxes #ArcticEcosystems @cnr-isp.bsky.social

The Ararat Glacier has been surveyed geophysically for the first time. As part of a project led by the University of Münster, AWI and its partners mapped its ice cap, laying the groundwork for an ice core drilling campaign in 2027. www.awi.de/en/about-us/...

🏔️ LIQUIDICE Super-site #2: Monte Rosa 🇮🇹 Glaciers in this region support freshwater supplies, four hydropower plants, mountain ecosystems and winter tourism. As glaciers retreat, these benefits are increasingly at risk. 📸 Riccardo Selvatico for CNR and Ca' Foscari. #Glaciers #ClimateChange

❄️ Postcard from #Svalbard - one of the five #LIQUIDICE super-sites! Here we study glaciers, permafrost and Arctic catchments to understand how climate change is reshaping water resources and increasing hazards such as landslides. These insights help support resilient Arctic communities.

Today, the RRS Sir David Attenborough set sail from the UK 🚢 bound for Greenland as part of the GIANT project – an ambitious mission to study how rapidly melting fjord glaciers are affecting Atlantic currents, climate, and wider marine ecosystems. #ArcticResearch #ClimateScience 🧵1/4

A GEO Mountains Small Grant is helping researchers unlock a remarkable archive of historical aerial photographs, providing new insights into how #glaciers in the #Chilean #Andes have changed over the last 80 years.

🧊📸 A @geomountains.bsky.social supported project has digitised 4,500+ historic aerial photos to reconstruct nearly 80 years of glacier change in the Chilean Andes. A great example of how open science & collaboration can unlock new climate insights. 🔗 buff.ly/0sCWOZ3 #OurChangingMountains

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

Presentation and discussion by Ekaterina Rets: Climate change driven structural changes in river runoff bringing about new challenges to water management in Norway

“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!

🎥 LIQUIDICE at EGU Vienna 🇦🇹: watch the photos! Highlights from first 2 days: presentation by Ritu Anilkumar (Univ. of Bristol) on glacier mass balance using Bayesian Neural Fields, and poster by Katja Rets (IG PAS) on cryosphere signals in runoff for hydropower. Stay tuned for more! #EGU #EGU2026
