Finished our field survey at #Machoi glacier, we tested our all-weather time-lapse camera systems for glacier tracking. @saurabhvergia @vijay_115 @irfansalroo @GreenlandGdnc @iitroorkee -Thanks to university of kashmir folks for their support.

Here is a factsheet on what is currently known about Birchgletscher, the Swiss glacier that catastrophically collapsed on 28 May 2025, following heavy debris loading from Kleines Nesthorn. Our thoughts are with all those most deeply affected. polybox.ethz.ch/index.php/s/ea…

Government grants are not always a sign of a product's potential because of their poor review policy. I've seen cases where winners white-labelled existing products—often poorly—yet secured funding through strong promotion, giving the impression they were the original creators.

We set up two high-altitude meteorological stations in the Zanskar Valley (Abran and Padum towns). Hopefully these will provide long-term data from one of the least explored areas in the Himalaya. Thanks #MoES and #ISRO.

I'm thrilled to share that I presented my work at the #IGARSS2024 organized by the IEEE #GRSS in Athens, Greece! My presentation, highlights significant advancements in monitoring dam integrity. Excited to contribute to this field. #InSAR #DamDeformation #RemoteSensing #SENTINEL1

@IcenPoles congrats👏👏

Successfully defended my PhD work today! It's an official end to a long, long journey and the time to explore newer avenues!

@Rock_Avalanches @saurabhvergia @irfansalroo @GreenlandGdnc @iitroorkee I currently intend to employ Python-based tools like OpenCV for feature tracking.

@Pawan_1610 @saurabhvergia @vijay_115 @irfansalroo @GreenlandGdnc @iitroorkee What feature tracking software are you planning on using with the Cyclapse?

Venezuela is now ice-free! 🥵 First American country to lose all its glaciers! 🧊📈 2 ha Humboldt Gl. (here 2024 | 2008) is now static and was downgraded from glacier to ice field Next countries on the list: Indonesia, Mexico & Slovenia amp.ntn24.com/noticias-cienc… @extremetemps

#UttarakhandForestFire While forest fires in Uttarakhand aren't making much news anymore, here are photographs of Nainital I clicked today. So far, across Uttarakhand, 1044+ hectares gutted in these fires.

This video of the Rock of Gibraltar gives an intuition for why some areas of the world have deserts next to rainforests What's happening here? How can you use that to predict where there will be deserts or rainforests?🧵

Sharing some moments from our 1st Indian Cryosphere Meeting (ICM-2024) attended by folks from 10+ Indian Institutions. An initiative by early career cryosphere scientists to meet every year in an informal setting. Thank you IIT Ropar. See you in 2025 in IIT Mumbai.

After 7 years, #Kashmir is again experiencing #snowless #winter. The snow in #chillaikalaan, the 40-day severest part of winter b/w 21 Dec and 29 Jan, is important for regulating glacier health and streamflows.+

A cool article from the Himalayan cryosphere. doi.org/10.1038/s41561…

We are pleased to announce that the 1st Indian Cryosphere Meet (ICM-2024) is going to be held at IIT Ropar, India on 11th and 12th of January, 2024. Please visit for details sites.google.com/view/firstindi… Reet Kamal, RAAJ Ramsankaran and Saurabh Vijay @RAAJRamsankaran @saurabhvergia

Group members Daniel Farinotti, @matthias_huss, @Marit_vanTiel, and @alexvdesch, as well as colleagues from @unibern, are currently in India visiting with colleagues at @iitroorkee! 🇮🇳🤝

The new gridded annual #Glaciers mass change product is published! The new 0.5 degree gridded netcdf format will enable easier cross-correlation with other #ECV products and produce more accurate global hydrological assessments. Check it out at: cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/datas…

Some perspectives on the #sikkimflood disaster: 1. A landslide of waterlogged lateral moraine triggered the GLOF. 2. As at Chamoli, the landslide moved tens of m prior to collapse. 3. Anthropogenic activity influenced both the consequences and the triggering of this disaster. 1/8

'One of the biggest on record' Ozone hole bigger than North America opens above Antarctica The recently measured ozone hole over Antarctica, as detected by the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite, is one of the largest on record, according to a report from the European Space Agency. The hole reached an astounding 26 million square kilometers on September 16, 2023 - approximately three times the size of Brazil. The satellite hosts a cutting-edge multispectral imaging spectrometer known as Tropomi. The instrument enhances atmospheric monitoring capabilities by identifying distinct "fingerprints" of various gases across different segments of the electromagnetic spectrum. This allows for more precise and higher resolution imaging of a wide array of pollutants. livescience.com/planet-earth/w…

Happy to officially announce that I am joining the Department of Communication at UC Santa Barbara @CommUcsb as an Assistant Professor, starting January 2024. आइ वडिलांच्या आशीर्वाद आहेत भारी.
