Vegetation greening in european mountains is driven by snow duration. This is what we found by analyzing a lot of satellite data. New article NatureClimate "Waning snowfields have transformed into hotspots of greening within the alpine zone" Choler et al nature.com/articles/s4155…

The Arctic is getting wetter. Higher temperatures→more evaporation from oceans→higher atmospheric humidity→total precipitation (snow+rain) is increasing. Snowfall would be increasing were it not for warming that crosses the 0°C threshold more often. Thus, the Arctic

🚨Paper Alert! A new paper, co-authored by VAW Matthias Huss, shows glaciers worldwide have lost over 9,000 Gt of ice since 1976, raising sea levels by ~25 mm. 🌍 The paper presents a global dataset of annual glacier mass change from 1976–2024. Explore: 📊 doi.org/10.5194/essd-1…

Stunning overview of former bed of the now gone Birch Glacier shot yesterday from the right lateral moraine 😲😱 INCREDIBLE to think that there WAS a glacier here just few days ago! The area above the glacier still holds ~300,000m3 of debris Source D. Farinotti VAW Glaciology

entering the usual peak weeks of the melt season, Greenland 'whiteness' aka 'albedo' is roller coastering and currently on the dark side after a snowy period end of June to ~12 July #Sentinel3 Copernicus EU

Des années que les spécialistes, les alpinistes, les amoureux des glaciers ont compris que tout bouge. Les glaciers fondent, les blocs de rochers tombent, le bruit des éboulis rythme les ascensions, l’eau vient à manquer, les parcours de grimpe sont déviés liberation.fr/idees-et-debat…

Blatten, yesterday! 😱 2 months after the disaster, this is what the valley looks like from slightly west of the former Birch Glacier that collapsed... 😭 📷 Florence Magnin
