Yes! Time to get excited for #COP30 in Brazil! Let’s up the focus and ambition on melting ice! 👊🌏

We switched to tidal the last time Spotify were spotifying. Cheaper and no complaints. Can’t remember any problems with the initial registration.

Live updates as Juneau's glacial outburst flood now expected to crest Wednesday morning The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning and forecast of more than 16 feet for Mendenhall River. That record peak is expected Wednesday morning.

Update, 6:00 a.m. Wednesday:

The water level on Mendenhall River currently stands above 16 feet -- a new record for glacial outburst flood height.

The river reached major flood stage around 1 a.m. and is still forecast to peak between 8 a.m. and noon.

What are you seeing where you are?

We have learned that the National Science Foundation is moving ahead with plans to decommission the U.S. Research Vessel/Ice Breaker Nathaniel B. Palmer this October.

Vers une chaleur record en altitude ? - MétéoSuisse

Toward a June record for iso 0°C this week end in the Alps! 🥵📈

Current record is 4912 m (18 juin 2017) and modeling show it could reach 5200 m on Sat. 28th at 5:00 am! 😱

Speechless...

These values will put the whole of the Alps in ice abalation zone! 🔥

#Glaciers2025 is drawing to a close. The last thematic sessions have just started, including this one on Climate Finance and Investment for Glacier Preservation and Adaptation. After that it’s the closing session and the end of a whirlwind but amazing three days.

Are you in Dushanbe for #Glaciers2025 #ICGP2025

Please join us this afternoon at 14:00 for:
THEMATIC SESSION 2: From Glaciers to Sea: Glaciers, Snowpack and Water Availability in a Changing Climate

in the Press Conference hall on the 2nd floor.

It’s all happening in Dushanbe at #Glaciers2025.
Excellent quote in the plenary this morning:
“"Glaciers preservation is not just the problem of countries with glaciers, it is a global crisis and requires a global response".
Glacier festival last night was amazing, too.

The importance of just one degree on glacier preservation - by holding temperature increase to +1.5°C, more than twice as much glacier mass remains compared with an increase of 2.7°C. “Our findings stress the need for stringent mitigation policies to ensure the long-term preservation of glaciers”.

Collapse of brand new dam in khost province, Afghanistan.

Swiss glacier collapse buries most of village of Blatten Many homes in Blatten have been flattened after a large chunk of the Birch glacier fell on to the village.

Shocking scenes following the disintegration and collapse of the Birch Glacier. A stark example of the evolving nature of cryospheric hazards under rapid warming and deglaciation in mountain regions. Monitoring and early evacuation prevented a bigger human impact here.

A tribute to a dying glacier, that has trained may budding glacier scientists, especially from Hindu Kush Himalaya countries. And an excellent article in FT about why this is important. It's not just this one glacier that has almost disappeared but many tens of thousands more in the HKH.

Record low Himalayan snow for the third year running jeopardizes water security for nearly 2 billion people across 12 major river basins. Learn more about this critical situation: www.icimod.org/press-releas...

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

We are a world away from the 20th century climate, already in uncharted territories, and that's just the beginning! 😱

Losing glaciers through sole human emission should make us take action 🛑

But we are apathetic...

Properly mind-blowing event yesterday east of Annapurna II (NE face visible here, 7,937 m, Nepal)! 😱

Probably triggered by ice (+rock?) avalanche at high elev., given the reach and the absence of snow at the moment 🧊

The extent of the aerosol is... HUGE! ❄️🌪️

Keynote presentation for panel session on Policy, Advocacy and Campaigns

Panelist for session on Socioeconomic impact, vulnerability and adaptation. @nve

I’m delighted to be in Paris for the Brainstorming session on the Decade of Action for Cryosphere Sciences and participating in two panels - on “socioeconomic impacts, vulnerability and adaptation” and on “policy, advocacy and campaigns”. Tomorrow is the first #WorldGlaciersDay #Glaciers2025

Looking forward to this panel and discussion on Friday at #WorldDayOfGlaciers.

Great skiing near #Lygna at the weekend but shockingly little snow for the time of year.

Greenland’s rapidly melting ice and landslide-prone fjords make the oil and minerals Trump covets dangerous to extract Melting ice, thawing permafrost and crumbling fjord walls are just a few of the risks climate change poses for those living and working in Greenland.

Greenland’s rapidly melting ice will make the oil and minerals Trump covets dangerous to extract and expensive.
