Jane Goodall said she’d like to send off to another planet: Musk, Trump, Putin, Xi & Netanyahu. 🚀

Did you know that already more than 1000 glaciers have disappeared in Switzerland over the last 50 years as a consequence of human-caused climate change? One of those is Pizolgletscher which I visited today. Always a saddening yet impressive sight...

If we limit global warming to +1.5°C, more than half of non-polar glaciers can be saved. This is the finding of an international collaborative study that calculated the potential ice loss of more than 200,000 glaciers: ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

Un grand merci à @alpinemag.bsky.social & @zchrf.bsky.social pour avoir mis en lumière les travaux du projet collaboratif Vanishing Glaciers - @riverepfl.bsky.social. Pensées pour nos collaborateurs, porteurs et guides qui ont permis à ces expeditions de voir le jour.

Alors que les glaciers fondent à grande vitesse, un écosystème invisible mais essentiel s’efface avec eux : les microorganismes des rivières glaciaires. Le projet Vanishing Glaciers explore cette biodiversité pour en dresser le 1er atlas mondial avant qu’elle ne disparaisse. ✍️ @zchrf.bsky.social

It's the first International Day of #Glaciers! The ice worldwide is under threat due to rapid #climatechange. This day puts a spotlight on glaciers as a vulnerable but globally relevant element of the climate system. It is not yet too late to save them! @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social

Right in time for the UN International Glacier Day: nice contribution on the latest findings from the Vanishing Glaciers Project by @layeb.bsky.social & @riverepfl.bsky.social in theconversation.com/fonte-des-gl...

Fonte des glaciers : une diversité biologique invisible menacée

Avec la disparition progressive des glaciers sous l’effet du changement climatique, c’est bien plus que de l’eau qui disparaît. Rivières et ruisseaux alimentés par l’eau de fonte nourrissent une diver...

1/3] Glacier melt is accelerating, depleting freshwater and driving sea-level rise. A global @nature.com study co-authored by several group members shows glaciers have lost 273 billion tonnes of ice per year since 2000, with a sharp increase in the past decade.🌍 🔗: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Predicting the future of glacier-fed streams and their microbiome by @riverepfl.bsky.social, @layeb.bsky.social, @susheelbusi.bsky.social and friends in www.nature.com/articles/s41.... Well, well done dear Massimo!!!

Predicting climate-change impacts on the global glacier-fed stream microbiome - Nature Communications

Little is known about how climate change impacts glacier-fed streams (GFSs) microbiomes. Here, using a modelling framework based on global GFS metagenomic, climatic and environmental data the authors ...

...more from the Vanishing Glaciers project, also with @susheelbusi.bsky.social @layeb.bsky.social: Greg's awesome metagenomic insights into the glacier-fed stream microbiome are out now. What a bewildering biofilm mode of life up there☺️! Well done all! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Mapping the metagenomic diversity of the multi-kingdom glacier-fed stream microbiome - Nature Microbiology

Thousands of metagenome-assembled genomes from the Vanishing Glaciers project showcase the interactions between prokaryotes, algae, fungi and viruses in glacier-fed stream environments.

Grateful for the opportunity to work with such an amazing team, to our collaborators around the 🌍 and the Nomis foundation for supporting our work. New insights into the diversity and biogeography of bacteria in glacier-fed streams across 11 mountain ranges, out now in @nature.com
