  8. The Nepal and Tibet flood is a warning: melting snow and ice will bring more disasters around the world | Bill McGuire
    By Bill McGuire

    In Alaska, the Himalayas, the Andes, Greenland, and perhaps also the Alps, deadly chain reactions are just waiting to be triggered

  9. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🧊🌊 #Calving is the term for when large pieces of #ice break off #glaciers in a thunderous, impressive spectacle, creating new #icebergs.

    This #video of #Monacobreen, a tidewater glacier in #Svalbard, #Norway, provides a good demonstration of calving and the #waves it can create.

  13. Inside the race to understand Greenland’s ‘climate tipping point’.

    An international team of scientists is determined to understand just how quickly Greenland’s melting glaciers are pushing the Atlantic Ocean towards a “critical climate tipping point”.

    They’ll also trial a prototype ‘Early Warning System’ for glacier change in Greenland, as ice melt continues to accelerate.
