Hundreds of scientists around the globe have been working tirelessly to piece together the sequence of events that led to the devastating flood in Tibet and Nepal, which has killed nearly 600 people, left nearly 2000 missing, and destroyed many towns and hydropower plants. https://scim.ag/3SErvn3
How scientists unraveled the cause of the devastating flood in Tibet and Nepal
Global cooperation revealed a landslide, not a glacial collapse, likely initiated the cascade of events

A wildfire can be explained by today’s barbecue, yesterday’s wind direction, a dry spring, four decades of land use change, or a century of emissions.

The conditions for ferocious fires are expected to worsen as the planet heats up, putting more people at risk

Yes, Arctic wildfires are ‘new’, and sadly they form a positive feedback with climate change. Increasing wildfire activity is increasing the vulnerability of permafrost to thaw, accelerating the release of long-stored greenhouse gases. This is a feature, not a glitch, of the Anthropocene. 🔥📈🔥

We spoke to locals and tourists about the unprecedented wildfires in western Greenland in 2015-2020 - a period characterised by very dry conditions. After several wet years, dry weather has returned and some fires have too.

Many media outlets seem to be having difficulty communicating the scale of the gift that Farage neglected to declare compared to the amounts other politicians benefitted as a result of financial indiscretions recently, so here's a simple graphic to help.

New review of surging glaciers in Svalbard!
I am pleased to share our new paper in which we review the current distribution of surging glaciers in Svalbard! Published in Earth Science Reviews, you can find the full paper here: The surging Borebreen in 2024. In this review, we analyse the methods use to detect glacier surges in the past and present using remote sensing techniques, geophysical methods, and palaeo-glaciological analysis such as landforms, historical imagery and archival maps.

Glacier surging and surge-related hazards in a changing climate
Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, Published online: 12 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s43017-025-00757-9Glacier surges are rapid ice flow acceleration and mass transport events, which can threaten nearby communities, infrastructure and habitats. This Review discusses the global distribution, behaviour and associated hazards of glaciers that are prone to surging and how these are being affected by climate change.
