Icebergs? The size of a city? 90 miles from the UK? Must be a joke, right? No! Our new paper in Nature Communications.nature.com shows massive tabular icebergs broke off the UK in the last ice age before the UK’s ice shelves disintegrated from climate warming. 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4146…

NSIDC announce a downgrading of service level for their sea ice index dataset which may mean no further updates. These are globally important datasets for monitoring the ongoing changes to the climate. This is horribly damaging for global science. nsidc.org/data/user-reso…

🆕🇨🇭 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…
