Glaciologist Matthias Huss shows that the centre of the Great Aletsch glacier in Switzerland (the biggest in the Alps) lost 6 meters(!) of thickness just this summer.
"No words...", he adds on LinkedIn. -
Ice remembers. 🧊 Glaciers and polar ice hold centuries of the planet's history, and they're changing fast. From orbit, satellites track the melt: ice loss, sea-level rise, a climate written in white. 🛰️

Collapsing Mountains In Alaska Are Causing Massive Tsunamis
Alexandre Rosa/Alamy Stock Photo Sasha Calvey heard the tsunami coming. It was after 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 10, 2025, and she was camped with two friends on a remote island in Southeast Alaska. They were 74 days into a sea kayaking trip from Washington. Heavy rain had fallen overnight, with gusts that swayed the spruce and hemlocks overhead. From her sleeping bag inside the tent, Calvey heard waves tumbling against the shore.......Continue reading.... By: Tim Lydon Source:High Country […] -
💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧊🤖 A British led #expedition launching this month will deploy a fleet of #drones, subs, and sensors to study #Greenland’s melting #glaciers in detail.
The #GIANT project aims to improve #climate models by observing the tiny scale #physics of #ice #ocean interactions. The mission, funded by the #UK’s Advanced Research and #Invention Agency, runs from the #research ship Sir #DavidAttenborough.

Could glacier melt slow climate change? Scientists thought so – until now
A “long-standing silver lining” to the wrath of climate change has been put under scrutiny, as scientists find…

Ah, the classic tale of #glaciers playing hide-and-seek! 🌍🔍 Instead of tackling the melting ice, let's barricade knowledge behind a digital fortress and call it 'security'. Because nothing screams climate action like a 404 page. 🙄❄️

Why are climate change alarmists worried about the melting Antarctic ice when glacial rebound will cause land to rise, thereby counteracting the rise in sea levels?

Glaciers really fascinate me and I am always impressed by their beauty. Every single time.

Glaciers at the border of Spain /France are shrinking at an alarming rate in recent years, losing 40% area between 2020-23.
The glaciers Infiernos, Monte Perdido and Aneto lost ice thickness more 3x more quickly in 2021-2023 compared to the ten year period prior to 2020!

Thwaites Glacier, which has an area on par of that of Florida, is melting - quickly!
"Each year Thwaites loses about 50 billion tons of ice, which comprises roughly 4% of all sea-level rise worldwide"
The trouble is, just how fast it's melting isn't really known. Given that if it melted completely the resulting global sea level rise could be over 50 cm, it's a pretty important question to answer!

"Bid to secure spot for glacier in #Icelandic presidential race heats up - Standing in the shadow of Iceland’s #Snæfellsjökull, – a 700,000-year-old #glacier perched on a volcano and visible to half the country’s population on any given day – in 2010, Angela Rawlings was struck by an unconventional thought.
“It suddenly just came to me. What if the glacier was #president?” said Rawlings. It was a seemingly unorthodox way to push forward a movement that was already swiftly advancing; #Ecuador had enshrined legal rights for nature while #Māori in #NewZealand were working to secure legal personhood for the #Whanganui River.
More than a decade later, Rawlings’ musing has snowballed into what is perhaps the continent’s most singular presidential bid, as a team of more than 50 people scrambles to secure Snæfellsjökull a spot on the ballot in the country’s upcoming election on 1 June.
Among the first to hear the idea was Daria Testo. “I immediately was like, yup, OK. Let’s do it,” said Testo. “I come from the Indigenous lands in #Siberia, and therefore personhood of #nature is something that is so common to the culture and the psyche in general.”
...
“Half the population of #Iceland is watching this glacier melt between 2024 and 2050,” said Rawlings, pointing to research suggesting that Iceland’s glaciers are at risk of disappearing within the next 200 years. “I’ve been personally referring to #glaciers as the charismatic, geographic phenomenon of the #ClimateEmergency."#Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #Glaciers #Politics #Klima #Klimakrise

This is really interesting, and it's great that we can learn so much about the past from the well-preserved artefacts, but it's just a shame that we have to be destroying the Earth to do it...

Hi fedi!
A dew days ago I saw a very nice interactive map showing the water coverage of the world at 1.5C. Anyone knows of a website like that?Boosts appreciated :) :boostRequest:
