[anecdotal – in the early 1990s, I chose to spend a winter as a ski bum/guide, living in Arabba, Dolomites, Sud Tyrol; I still remember the excellent days when I got to ski on the Marmolada]

“PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: On 3 July 2022, a portion of the Marmolada glacier, near Punta Rocca, collapsed and caused the death of 11 mountaineers. This dramatic event had a considerable impact on the media, and authorities were concerned about the risk that other collapses might occur in this and other glaciers of the Dolomites, a well-renowned mountain region of the southeastern Alps and one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. [They] analyzed the possible causes of the collapse by developing a three-dimensional thermo-mechanical model. The analysis concluded that the collapse was caused by increased internal ice temperature and the development of a dense network of fractures, reducing the ice shear strength, with melting water that possibly contributed by increasing the basal pressure. [They] also showed that collapsing conditions can be identified with a simplified model version approximating the sliding basal surface as a plane with a slope equal to the surface slope. The developed approach can be used in hazard identification and risk analysis of mountain glaciers…”

si era circa a metà luglio 2017
salendo a #PassoFedaia da Canazei TN 🏍️
ci sorprese quanto si fosse ritirato
il #ghiacciaio della #Marmolada

chissà se lo rivedremo ancora così #inmoto #climatechange

Der #Gletschersturz vom #Marmolada war einer der Gründe, warum ich in meinem #Klimabuch während des Lektorats einen Absatz ändern musste. 😒 Der #Klimawandel ist schneller als Buchschreiben. Nun gibt es Prognosen, dass der ganze Gletscher bis 2040 abgetaut sein könnte. Steigende Temperaturen lassen den größten #Gletscher der Region täglich 7-10 cm an Tiefe verlieren. Seit 1888 ist der Gletscher bereits um 1.200 Meter zurückgegangen.

Vor zwei Jahren forderte ein #Gletschersturz an der #Marmolada in den #Dolomiten 11 Menschenleben. Laut #Glaziologe Georg Kaser wird es künftig weniger #Gletscherwanderungen geben, da die #Gletscher in den #Ostalpen weitgehend verschwinden. Gefahren durch instabile Felsen und #Gletscherseen nehmen zu. Der #Klimawandel führt zu häufigeren, aber weniger belebten #Eisabbrüchen.

I have #Momentum on my web browser with a new photo every day. Today's is this beautiful image of the #Marmolada glacier in Italy by Vicentiu Solomon.

It's a gorgeous but very sad picture - this is one of the faster disappearing #glaciers in the world

On the subject of which, maybe think about signing @iccinet 's petition to #COP28?

Il crollo alla #Marmolada causato dalle alte temperature e dai cambiamenti climatici.

RT @EU_ECHO: In northern Italy, a large chunk of Alpine glacier #Marmolada broke loose and slid down a mountainside.

The EU’s emergency response coordination centre is monitoring the situation and ready to coordinate EU-assistance, if needed. 🇪🇺🤝🇮🇹

Che misure vengono prese per controllare il suolo, l’acqua, l’aria; dalle città al mare, al fiume, ai monti ? Nulla, il monitoraggio dell’ambiente avviene con gli scarsi mezzi ed i tagli della spesa pubblica decisi in questi anni.

Nicola #Porro chiamava #Gretini quelli che lanciavano segnali d'allarme sulla crisi climatica e stimavano in 130 miliardi i danni potenziali. Ci dica lui che è così intelligente quanto valevano le vite umane sepolte dal ghiaccio della #Marmolada.

Adesso Nicola #Porro vada dai parenti delle vittime della #Marmolada a spiegare che servono altre stragi perché lui possa comprare macchine fossili anche dopo il 2035.

Gasparri e Minzolini ora vadano a incontrare i parenti delle vittime della #Marmolada. Gli spiegheranno chi sono i veri "Gretini" e chi invece i politici cialtroni corresponsabili morali di questa strage e delle altre che ci attendono fino a quando la "transizione ecologica" sarà gestita da utili idioti della lobby fossile.

Complici morali della strage sulla #Marmolada tutti i fascistoidi che chiamavano #Gretini i cittadini che lanciano allarmi sul cambiamento climatico. Come Cristina #Gauri, la primate nazionale cieca all'evidenza fino alla settimana prima della strage.

La tragedia del #seracco sulla #Marmolada arriva a meno di ventiquattro ore della scoperta della piaga dei #negazionisti del #CambiamentoClimatico . E arriva come un ceffone alle loro strampalate teorie e un monito del severo prezzo che tutti pagheremo
