Close up heli view of the former Klein Nesthorn ridge yesterday! 🚁😲

The summit ridge has lost more than 100 m in elevation and its north face ~130 m! 😱

All this mass ended up on the glacier, causing it to break up! 🌊

Already + 100,000 m3 fallen from the Klein Nesthorn N face at ~3200 m asl, and something between 1 to 5 Millions m3 more are 'forecasted'... 😱

That's quite a thing!
Blatten village evacuated 😭

The 'Crumblocene' is definitely a nice time to live! πŸ”οΈπŸŒŠ

Effective May 5, 2025, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (COGS). As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basicβ€”meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported. This includes Sea Ice Index, Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS) Data Products, Glacier Photograph Collection, U.S. National Ice Center Arctic Sea Ice Charts and Climatologies in Gridded Format Gridded Monthly Sea Ice Extent and Concentration, 1850 Onward World Glacier Inventory. If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at nsidc@nsidc.org. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data.

Warming stripes for deep ocean to upper stratosphere

Warming stripes for deep ocean to upper stratosphere

The Warming Stripes have now been extended downwards into the ocean and upwards into the stratosphere!

Collaborative paper which tells the story of how the stripes were developed, and discusses their extension across the Earth system, is now available in BAMS: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

It's so sad to see that this incredible dataset, which has redefined how we approach many Arctic-related studies, may not be updated in the future 😞

I finally tried Gaussian Splatting using some handheld photos taken inside an ice cave. In just 10 minutes of training-rendering, the results were stunning, impressive! 😁 For now only for visual purposes...

Recent observations and glacier modeling point towards near-complete glacier loss in western Austria (Γ–tztal and Stubai mountain range) if 1.5 °C is not met Abstract. Most glaciers in Austria are expected to disappear in the coming decades. The general trend to deglaciation is apparent from observations of past glacier change as well as projections of fut...

Sad news (but great work) from the Austrian Alps

Check out our latest work from the Dolomites. We tried to estimate the mass balance of the remaining Dolomites glaciers since the 1980s using LiDAR, SfM and historical imagery. No surprise: huge mass loss, shrinking area, and increasing debris cover.

Seems so far away from a glaciological point of view! 😱

And the most recent pic here was taken before the recent record-breaking heatwaves which wiped out 10% of Alpine ice in just 2 years! πŸ”₯

The Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise is out! Herculean effort bringing together >200 estimates of glacier loss outside the ice sheets. Bottom line is 273 gigatonnes per year of ice loss since the year 2000! 😲

So nice to see such high resolution data from @legertancrede.bsky.social LGM modelling.

Including the smaller local glaciers (red square) of the Venetian Prealps in Lessinia, Carega, Pasubio, Asiago Plateau and Monte Grappa 😍
