A 481-meter-high landslide-tsunami in a cruise ship–frequented Alaska fjord

Early in the morning of 10 August 2025, a >64 × 106 m3 landslide struck Tracy Arm fjord in Alaska. The landslide was preconditioned by glacial retreat caused by climate change. The resulting 481 m run...

Global glacier mass change in 2025 - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment

Glaciers lost 408 ± 132 Gt of mass during the hydrological year 2025, equivalent to 1.1 ± 0.4 mm sea-level rise. Since 1975, glacier mass loss has totalled 9,583 ± 1,211 Gt, equivalent to 26.4 ± 3.3 m...

In academia, we're good at talking about successes, but sweep unfunded grants & unsuccessful job apps under the rug. It can be a tough road, filled w/ failure* For anyone discouraged about the process, here's my failure CV #AcademicSky 🧪 *None are really failures if you learn from them

Amazing work, feel inspired to do similar things on the Kolka Glacier!

Could avalanches explain extreme local glacier accumulation? A new preprint by our colleague @marinkneib.bsky.social shows 2 years of monitoring of an avalanche cone on Argentière Glacier using UAV surveys and a 7-camera time-lapse photogrammetry array. egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

On 14th March, an impressive rock avalanche occurred on Cotopaxi (5,897 m asl, EC)! 🔥 A rock mass detached from the Yanasacha summit cliff and then triggered an ice avalanche onto the glacier! 🌊🧊 The deposit spans ~1000 vertical distance between 5,700 and 4,700 m asl! 😲 📷 Pablo Chiquiza

today is four-year anniversary since the russian invasion of ukraine started. in these four years, a lot of things have changed. i feel very lucky to write this from the united states. i feel very lucky to know english. i feel very lucky to be in academia for the past three years.

'La Mer de Glace' Léon Gimpel 1911 Shortly after invention by the Lumière brothers in 1904, Gimpel already mastered the autochrome technique: 'the brightness of the ice made it a photogenic subject par excellence for colour' 📷🌈 This view is remarkable for its precision, quite rare in autochromes.

People should really think twice about whose portraits they put on the wall, and ask themselves why they even need some stranger’s face there in the first place. Put your mom’s photo on the wall instead and be good.

After reviewing nearly 200 applications from prospective grad students and postdocs over the past few months for a couple different 🧪⚒️ postings, here are some tips, at least as they apply to North American positions. I hope they help future applicants. Share with your networks. 🧵

A new paper in the journal Landslides (Darrow and Jacobs 2025) presents a landslide inventory that extends over a century for Alaska. It clearly demonstrates that climate change is driving a significant increase in landslides in this US state. eos.org/thelandslide...
