The Mer de Glace glacier in French Alps between 2007 and 2024. About 92 meters of thickness change during this period.

Human are solving problems by making little crutches 🩼 Bandaids on a wooden leg! For glacier preservation, tarps came first ❄️ See how futile they look under the eye of artist Thomas Wrede 📷 1. Diavolezza 07, 2020 2. Rhône 09, 2022 3. Presena 2020 4. Rhône 08, 2023 1/

@bonnaud_dowell @subfossilguy @pinpinmag @MONTBLANC_NR @IGE_Grenoble The best view would be from the terrace, that's where most pictures come from :)

Mer de Glace 2007 | 2024 The largest french glacier has lost ~95 m in thickness during this period at 1700 m asl! 😱 This is called collapse! Webcam: Cie du Mt Blanc (@MONTBLANC_NR) Archiving: J-M Friedt and @IGE_Grenoble Credit: @eb_climate_data Data: glacioclim.osug.fr/Donnees-des-Al…

Mer de glace glacier in French Alps between 2007 and 2024. Alternative version without rewind effect.

The Mer de Glace glacier in French Alps between 2007 and 2024. About 92 meters of thickness change during this period.

Quantitative data on thickness change are provided by @IGE_Grenoble GLACIOCLIM observation service (CNRS/UGA/OSUG/IGE): glacioclim.osug.fr/Donnees-des-Al… (extrapolation for the year 2024)

Thanks to Compagnie du Mont Blanc for webcams (@MONTBLANC_NR ) and to Jean-Michel Friedt and @IGE_Grenoble for archiving.

For all these years, it was just a name, a hope, a dream. Now the water stable isotope measurements confirmed that we have officially surpassed EPICA Dome C as the oldest continuous ice core record! We are truly Beyond EPICA! Merry Christmas to everyone! 📸F. Scoto©PNRA/IPEV

Remember Rhône glacier viral post? 👇 Comments below this tweet (viewed 4.6 M times!) reflect the abysmal level of ecological awareness on Twitter This is how Mer de Glace behaved during almost the same 15yr interval (2007-2022): ~80 m thinning at 1800 m asl! @eb_climate_data

@RARohde Good animation! Smoothing over continuous range of intervals is always more helpful than just showing one. (My ideal is a slider bar, not possible to do here of course.)

In locations with high year-to-year weather variability, such as the USA, it can sometimes be hard to directly perceive the impacts of climate change. Averaging observations over years and decades, often helps to reveal the big picture changes.

Launched today: annual updates of key indicators of global climate change. Using methods from the latest @IPCC_CH assessment and the latest available data, we paint a picture of where the planer is heading under climate change. (1/n) climatechangetracker.org/igcc

Very dry last few weeks for France. Of course, it would be much better if @meteofrance allowed free & open access to all their historical weather station observations so that anyone could look at how unusual this is. But they don't. C'est la vie. cc. @cassouman40 @valmasdel
