“Tourism has exploded, but we lack an integrated framework,” warns Claire Christian of ASOC. With 125,000+ visitors, experts say voluntary rules won’t cut it. The June ATCM is a chance to adopt binding protections for Antarctica’s fragile ecosystems. 🧊 latinamericanpost.com/business-and-f…

🆕🇨🇭 For the first time ever, GLAMOS publishes the Swiss Glacier Bulletin, a comprehensive look at glacier change in 2024. Despite heavy winter snow, 2.3% of ice volume was lost. A landmark report on a critical year for Swiss glaciers: doi.glamos.ch/pubs/glbulleti…

Since 1976, Earth's glaciers have lost 9000 billion tonnes of water, contributing 25 mm to global sea-level rise Over 40 % of this loss has happened in the last decade... and 6 % occurred in 2023 alone in a record-shattering year of glacier ice loss essd.copernicus.org/articles/17/19…

🇳🇴 TAKK FOR NÅ - 🇬🇧 thanks for now, Norway! To thank Norway for their Chairship the last two years, the Arctic Council Working Groups and the Permanent Participants shared a short message before welcoming new Chairship of Kingdom of Denmark. 🎥 youtube.com/playlist?list=…

🔴⚠️🌡️♨️🇮🇸A historical #heatwave is hitting #Iceland in the last few days, reaching temperatures that are far over 20°C with multiple records, up to 26°C.⬇️#Sentinel3 view of May 17, with extremely poor #snow cover for the period. #ClimateEmergency

📣The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP), based in Tromsø, has just released its 2024 update on Arctic climate change — and the findings are sobering. 👉Read more: ic3.uit.no/news/new-flags… 📸AMAP

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! 🪨🧊 20min.ch/fr/story/canto…

Again a tough year ahead for Swiss #glaciers?❄️ Winter 2025 snow data from @GLAMOS is in: a 13% snow deficit nationwide, but with big regional differences. A sharp contrast to 2024’s +31% surplus, yet even then, glaciers lost mass. Full results 👇 doi.glamos.ch/pubs/winterrep…

Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat. People, we are in danger.

Every +0.1°C of global warming leads to ~2% more glacier ice loss. Sticking to the #ParisAgreement (+1.5°C) would preserve over half the ice compared to current policies (+2.7°C). This is the result of a new study based, led by Harry Zekollari & several co-authors from our group.
