Incredible last April drone footage of Morteratsch Glacier's ice cave! 🧊
Impressive collapse feature just behind! 🔥
Stay tuned for more tree ring research at this wonderful (but melting so fast) site soon! 🌲💍

Konkordia ice loss (Aletsch Glacier)
2022 | 2023 | 2024
Thickness loss at the thickest ice in the Alps! 🔥
Last two years were record breaking... 🌡️
What do you think of the protective effect of the thickest snowpack in 25 years? 😅

On Swiss #glaciers the days of plenty are over for this year: we started off with excellent conditions (much snow). But during the last weeks the tide has turned. Melt has kicked in, probably accelerated by abundant Saharan dust on snow surfaces. Partly 3m of snowmelt in a month!

A warm welcome to our new PhD student @BeerJanosch! Janosch will focus on advancing the capability to identify #polythermal #glaciers through numerical modelling 💻🏔️. This knowledge is crucial as certain types of glacier instabilities have been linked to such thermal settings.

What is better than starting your #EGU24 with Mountain Hydrology? 🏔️💧❄️🤩 Join us Monday at 8:30 room 2.31 for an exciting line-up of talks, taking us to various mountain regions in the world, including invited speakers @immerzeel & Anna Herzog

🇦🇹👥📆 #EGU24 is nigh! We will be there with presentations, workshops and posters! This list will help finding us 🔖. We're looking forward to a week of engaging presentations and fruitful discussions!

GLAMOS winter measurements continue! @matthias_huss and collegues were on Glacier de la Plaine Morte to measure snow depth and density! Check out the video of @lander_vt probing for 4-5 meters of snow!
#Glacier de la Plaine Morte today for @glamos_ch fieldwork. Saharan dust once again made the scene!
Exceptionally warm weather with melting at almost 3000 masl already in the morning.
Snow cover is decent with 4-5m, even though not exceptional

Planning on going to #EGU24? (@EuroGeosciences). We'd love to hear about your latest work on mountain glaciers and ice caps! Consider submitting an abstract to our session:

Together with @DussaillantInes @linznicholson @lander_vt @matthias_huss
Want to present your uplifting research in the session about “Glaciers & Ice Caps under Climate Change” 🧊? meetingorganizer.copernicus.…

Hey you! Have you got some great new findings about glacier response to climate change? The submit to our EGU session CR1.1: meetingorganizer.copernicus.… - we would love to see you in Vienna!

The new gridded annual #Glaciers mass change product is published! The new 0.5 degree gridded netcdf format will enable easier cross-correlation with other #ECV products and produce more accurate global hydrological assessments. Check it out at: cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cd…

Eerste week als prof aan de @VUBrussel.
Fantastisch om terug te zijn na een prachtige reis door Europese academische landschap aan @ETH_en🇨🇭, @wsl🇨🇭, @tudelft 🇳🇱 en @ULBruxelles🇧🇪
Wat voor werk doen we en waar gaan we ons de komende jaren mee bezighouden? Zie hieronder ❄️🏔️
Smeltende gletsjers: een ver-van-ons-bedshow? Of een probleem van Zwitserland tot Zeebrugge? #terzaketv gaat de gletsjer op met glaciologen @HarryZeko en @LanderVanTricht Vanavond om 20.00u op @vrtcanvas

We picked a day with fantastic conditions, very high temperatures!
Monitoring is conducted together with @ice_vub @lander_vt who will perform their visit in late September.

For glacier modellers ☝️‼️ in this @EGU_TC-preprint led by @lander_vt, we explore how model complexity and calibration procedures affect long term projections of individual glaciers.

Thanks to @lander_vt, who is visiting us at the moment, for the great presentation about measuring & modeling glaciers in the Tien Shan! We have rarely seen the topic being covered from so many different angles in one and the same doctorate. Impressive! 😃

Yearly fieldwork on the Morteratsch and Pers glaciers to measure their mass balance.
Never before did they lose so much ice in only one year time.

Nevertheless, the suffering of Alpine glaciers during the summer of 2022 was immense.
@glamos_ch measurements performed earlier this week on Vadret Pers (in collaboration with @ice_vub) indicate how extremely off ice loss was relative to historical variability...
Lander Van Tricht retweeted
A glaciologist left speechless on Griesgletscher: In the middle of the ice, the bedrock is visible in a crevasse. In only very few years from now, the ice will be gone here, thus splitting the glacier in two parts.
The agony of a #glacier!

In 2022 a series of environmental factors aligned to make this year a very bad year for #Alpine #glaciers. On @EGU_CR #EGUblogs @g_baccolo & @lander_vt describe how a combination of sun, sand & no snow is resulting in drastic #glacier retreat.
