This wet-sluff avalanche in Turkey yesterday shows that not all avalanches happen suddenly, or catastrophically. Quite a sight nonetheless.

Our new cloud-based multihazard tool, MiMapper, is now live. You can read about it here: mdpi.com/2624-795X/6/4/…

How did glaciers in the Tropics react to changes in the ITCZ? We discuss here: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our latest new work, the result of a nice collaboration with @NeilNfg and the Aberystwith University is now on-line! With @CostanzaDel & @Segu_sec nature.com/articles/s4159…

40°C is the new 30°C in France...! 🔥🥵 Mostly unknown before 1980 (5 occurrences) 📉 Skyrocketing since 2019 (180 occurrences) 📈

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...

@MBRoberts4004 That’s a good question- you may have found it! I know of higher glacially transported boulders but not true erratics so probably that’s one of the highest….tell me more

@NeilNfg May I ask on a different subject? Where is the highest erratic in Wales? I have found one at 2500ft/780m in the Berwyns

Today marks my last day as one of the University’s Pro Vice-Chancellors. This has been a great role and I have enjoyed it immensely; full of challenges and surprises. But to be clear this is not retirement! Now it is time to get back to teaching and research!

Finally some precise numbers for the Blatten deposit! 👇 11 Mio m3 and up to 32 m thick ! 😱 Analysis: Simeon Schmauß

🌍During #WalesClimateWeek #COP29, we’re talking a closer look at how our scientists are helping to tackle global warming. 🌱Breeding #miscanthus plants that remove CO2 from the atmosphere is the focus of Prof Iain Donnison’s research @ibers_aber More: bit.ly/3UMGzNr

👀 goodbye bridge!!

Fabulous day out on Cadair Idris today with our Third Year students doing fieldwork for their glacier reconstruction projects @AU_DGES

Another fine @AberUni open day and another chance to welcome prospective @AberDLSAGB students & guests - such a buzz on campus and great to see so many enjoying our taster sessions studying dolphin diets, hermit crab behaviour and taking part in the legendary parasite pub quiz!

Aiguille du Midi this afternoon, emerging after 20 hrs of continuons rain ! 😍

⚠️ Check out this breathtaking photo of a proglacial lake at ~5400 m asl in trans-Himalayan Ladakh that we recently surveyed for bathymetry using robotic echosounbding boat funded under the @moesgoi sponsored project. +

On the International Day of Disaster Risk Reduction, I take this opportunity to highlight one of the most critical and growing risks in the Himalaya, Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs). These instantaneous floods occur when the damming moraine of proglacial lake fails. +

Met with the students and lecturers curating green spaces to combat community social isolation, support community cohesion and encourage a space for student well being!

Travelled to @AberUni yesterday to meet with @amandajayne1975 and her brilliant team- nurturing the education of nursing students with life skills to be both excellent nurses and citizens- impressive👏🏽
