I'm just getting onto the last leg of my journey home from James Ross Island, Antarctica and I'm trying to slowly process the last 3 months. It was an honour to join the Czech Antarctic expedition at Mendel Base and an incredible experience to collect data in Antarctica ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿง๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ถ

Like pulling the plug of a bathtub: an incredible mass of #glacier ice disappearing at Griesgletscher (๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ/๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น) in one century. It felt emotional to visit the exact same spot @swisstopo cartographers chose in 1919. The view was so different. Simply unbelievable!! @VAW_glaciology

Our latest study is now published in J. Glac: "Accelerated glacier changes on the James Ross Archipelago, Antarctica, from 2010 to 2023" ๐ŸงŠRecent warming has led to enhanced rates of melt. We also observe: โฉSurging ๐Ÿ”๏ธDisconnection Find out more๐Ÿ‘‡ cambridge.org/core/journals/โ€ฆ

Did you know that already more than 1000 glaciers have disappeared in Switzerland over the last 50 years as a consequence of human-caused climate change? One of those is Pizolgletscher which I visited today. Always a saddening yet impressive sight...

The tongue of Rhone #Glacier ten days after my last visit. Can you guess how much ice melted away? 1๏ธโƒฃ meter in terms of thickness! 1๏ธโƒฃ0๏ธโƒฃ days... And that's just the beginning of the summer season. We know the times are bad for the ice, but still it is hard to accept these numbers!

Floods and landslides often dominate headlines, but their lasting impact flows beneath the surfaceโ€”in the sediment carried by rivers. Dr Abhishek Dixit is studying how the Ganga and Brahmaputra are responding, and may continue to respond, to rising climate-driven events.

Featured in an excellent series by IIT Gandhinagar. We explore sediment dynamics in the two large Himalayan river system-Ganga and Brahmaputra. Both combined, carry the largest amount of sediments in the world.

Born #OnThisDay in 1880, Captain Lawrence Oates made the ultimate sacrifice on the day of his birth in 1912, by stepping out of his tent into a blizzard never to be seen again. Oates was an integral part of Scott's Polar Party, during the British Antarctic 'Terra Nova' Expedition 1910-1913, and made a brave attempt to preserve enough supplies for Scott, Wilson and Bowers during their return from the South Pole. Oates was severely frostbitten, weakened and suffering from scurvy. Believing he was slowing the other men down, Oates died so they could have a chance at living. As he left the tent, Oates's famous last words are recorded as "I'm just going outside and may be some time..." #OTD #inspire #explore #discover #conserve #Antarctica
