Did you know that already more than 1000 glaciers have disappeared in Switzerland over the last 50 years as a consequence of human-caused climate change?

One of those is Pizolgletscher which I visited today. Always a saddening yet impressive sight...

If we limit global warming to +1.5°C, more than half of non-polar glaciers can be saved.

This is the finding of an international collaborative study that calculated the potential ice loss of more than 200,000 glaciers: ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

It's the first International Day of #Glaciers!
The ice worldwide is under threat due to rapid #climatechange. This day puts a spotlight on glaciers as a vulnerable but globally relevant element of the climate system. It is not yet too late to save them!

1/3] Glacier melt is accelerating, depleting freshwater and driving sea-level rise. A global @nature.com study co-authored by several group members shows glaciers have lost 273 billion tonnes of ice per year since 2000, with a sharp increase in the past decade.🌍

Predicting climate-change impacts on the global glacier-fed stream microbiome - Nature Communications Little is known about how climate change impacts glacier-fed streams (GFSs) microbiomes. Here, using a modelling framework based on global GFS metagenomic, climatic and environmental data the authors ...

Mapping the metagenomic diversity of the multi-kingdom glacier-fed stream microbiome - Nature Microbiology Thousands of metagenome-assembled genomes from the Vanishing Glaciers project showcase the interactions between prokaryotes, algae, fungi and viruses in glacier-fed stream environments.

...more from the Vanishing Glaciers project, also with @susheelbusi.bsky.social @layeb.bsky.social: Greg's awesome metagenomic insights into the glacier-fed stream microbiome are out now. What a bewildering biofilm mode of life up there☺️! Well done all!
