  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: ❄️🧊 #Antarctica looks empty from above, but researchers find signs of #history and life hidden deep beneath the #ice.

    Cleo Abram talks with scientists about subglacial #lakes and ice cores that act as a frozen timeline of our #atmosphere. The remote environments could help us understand how life might survive on icy moons like #Jupiter's #Europa.

  11. Global sea levels may rise faster than previously expected.

    The reason is that warming oceans appear to be melting #Antarctic ice shelves from below much more rapidly than expected.

    Ice shelves, which are extensions of gigantic #glaciers that float on the water surface, act like buttresses that slow the flow of gigatons of ice into the sea.

    Now, researchers have discovered that long, channel-like grooves on the underside of these ice shelves can trap relatively warm ocean water, sharply increasing local melting.

    f Antarctic ice shelves thin and weaken, the downhill journey of the ice behind them can accelerate, fast-forwarding the process in which huge amounts of ice cascade into the ocean, causing sea levels worldwide to rise far faster than currently projected.

  14. European State of the Climate 2025

    Key Messages:
    At least 95% of Europe experienced above-average annual temperatures in 2025.
    A record three-week #heatwave affected sub-Arctic #Fennoscandia, with temperatures near to and within the Arctic Circle exceeding 30°C.

    #Glaciers in all European regions saw a net mass loss, with #Iceland recording its second-largest glacier loss on record; snow cover was 31% below average; the #Greenland Ice Sheet lost 139 gigatonnes (139 billion tonnes) of ice.

    The annual sea surface temperature for the European region was the highest on record, and 86% of the region experienced at least ‘strong’ marine heatwaves.

    #Wildfires burnt around 1,034,550 hectares, the largest area on record.

    #River flows were below average for 11 months of the year across #Europe, with 70% of rivers seeing below-average annual flows.

    #Storms and #flooding affected thousands across Europe, though extreme #rainfall and flooding were less widespread than in recent years.

    #Renewables supplied nearly half (46.4%) of Europe’s electricity in 2025, with solar power reaching a new contribution record of 12.5%.

    #Biodiversity is vital for a sustainable future, but #ClimateChange is a major cause of its degradation. Climate change and biodiversity are strongly connected within European policy and frameworks.

  15. Mute #Swans near the #Cranberry bogs of #Wisconsin. (The area is basically a huge wet sand bar rolled flat by the #Glaciers in the last #IceAge.)

    The pair was 30 feet from the road when I first drove by, but there was absolutely no place to pull off, so I drove 1/4 mile to a side road and walked back.

    They were much more skittish when I approached on foot. So I used my long lens and did not try to get closer.

    Note that they have brown heads because they have recently been feeding on the muddy bottom. 🙂

  23. #Lakes are growing in #Alaska. That’s not entirely a bad thing
    “We are seeing the great age of #ice retreat” in Alaska, says Daniel McGrath, a glaciologist at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. “These #glaciers are just peeling back from the landscape,” revealing deep grooves they carved in the Earth, where lakes are now forming.

  25. When we picture the effects of melting #glaciers , many of us think of rising seas and retreating ice streams. But along #greenlands coastline, a quieter transformation is underway, one that is affecting how the ocean breathes and how it reacts to and buffers itself against change.

    In Young Sound, a fjord carved into Greenland’s remote NE coast, decades of monitoring have revealed that glacial #meltwater does not simply dilute the salt in seawater.
