#Methane stored in rocks beneath #Svalbard glaciers is being flushed into meltwater rivers. A study of 19 #glaciers suggests increased melting could strengthen this pathway, although future releases will also depend on geology and glacier-bed conditions. doi.org/rnvv

Latest high resolution drone pictures of the source area of the rock ice avalanche that triggered the Nepal flood! 🧊🌊 📷 Guoxiong Zheng

Nepal's🇳🇵 foreign minister is calling for a "global effort" to tackle climate change, saying his country is among the worst-hit by rising temp. So far 675 people have died +2,400 people missing after the glacier collapse in Nepal alone… #globalglacierchange #glaciology #climatechange #glaciers

Some good news from space, as the NASA-ISRO NISAR mission publishes its first synthetic aperture radar images of Earth. This spacecraft has a heckin' big antenna (a dish 12 meters across) for bouncing L- and S-band (25- and 10-cm) radio waves off the surface www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-is...

NASA-ISRO Satellite Sends First Radar Images of Earth’s Surface

Preliminary images from the most powerful Earth radar satellite ever launched offer a tantalizing glimpse of the science the mission will be able to deliver.

Current understanding of the #rasuwa disaster shows a very large rock avalanche released from the valley north of #Langtang-Lirung. Parts of a #glacier were involved in the failure, likely contributing large amounts of water, though other water sources undoubtedly contributed. lnkd.in/p/eR3XUPkr

Every cause has effects. Climate warming hit hardest far from the pollution. The wealthy West burns; the Himalayas bear the brunt. Glaciers retreat, floods surge, lives upended. Climate justice = polluters protect those who did nothing to cause the crisis. 🌍❄️🔥 #ClimateJustice #Himalayas #FossilFuels

The source of the flood in Nepal is a collapsed glacier 🧪⚒️

There has been a truly horrific flood in Nepal this morning (you can go search for videos). Let's be careful not to jump to conclusions about the trigger until we have visual confirmation. This is unlikely to have been a glacial lake outburst flood. 🧪⚒️

We are heartbroken 💔 to see the images and videos coming out of Nepal this morning. Initial footage suggests this was a hugely destructive event originating in glacierized terrain. Our thoughts are with all affected communities and emergency responders. #cryohazards #rasuwa #glaciers #hazards

"The sensitivity of the clouds to the ship exhaust was measured during the summer season, when most ship traffic occurs." "Contaminated clouds can act like a blanket. They warm the surface more than a pristine cloud. In our case, we found that a polluted cloud may lead to accelerated sea ice melt"

Arctic shipping alters cloud formation, study finds

A study led by the EPFL suggests that shipping emissions influence climate-relevant cloud formation and may affect regional climate processes far beyond the polar region.

Exciting 🤩 new insights into subglacial hydrology of Grímsvötn jökulhlaups (2021/22, Iceland). 💧 Subglacial Floods switch between channel & sheet flow; water ponding along paths drives major ice dynamics and velocity including lifting of ice, altering 3D motion. Amazing work 🇮🇸 #glaciology #glofs

Who doesn’t love seeing a supraglacial channel in winter? The ice shapes are amazing — frozen flows, bright blues, and patterns that show how glaciers move and melt. Nature at its coolest. #Glacier #Science #Glaciology

Exceptional snow accumulation in Svalbard this season, combined with unusually mild temperatures, highlights the shift from a cold–dry to a warm–wet Arctic climate regime. Deep loose snow (>1 m) is extremely difficult for snowmobile travel, especially with heavy sleds. #ClimateChange #ArcticResearch

We also have these features termed "cirular ablation moraines" (till) that is found on top of (old/ancient?) blockfields. Does anyone know of similar features elsewhere?

After a long, hard day, the cabin finally appears. Fire catches, the room slowly wakes with warmth. The body and mind ease, silence settles - a simple meal, nothing fancy. Then outside, the sky unfolds in magic light, and suddenly, every frozen hour feels worth it. ✨ #svalbard #fieldwork #glaciers

Long, freezing days in the Arctic gear acting up, crevasse checks, quick calls in the cold. Fieldwork takes days of prep and recovery Lately, I’ve met quite a few colleagues who don’t see much value in it. What does it say about our times that we prefer models over direct measurements? #glaciology
