Sharing a study led by Dr. Francesca Baldacchino, which I contributed to! We resolved the seasonal variation in glacier speed and found that speed-ups and slowdowns in ice flow are associated with water trapped beneath the glaciers. 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.srs.…

😬Almost 40% of glaciers in Central Europe were lost between 2000 and 2023. A new study, using data from various satellite🛰️observations -including @esa_cryosat mission- reveals alarming insights about the declining rate of glaciers. Read the full study🔗 esa.int/Applications/O…

RP @iamdonovan.bsky.social: 🚨dataset/paper alert!🚨 Our community effort to identify lake-terminating glaciers in the Randolph Glacier Inventory is published in ESSD! check out the associated dataset here: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… doi.org/10.5194/essd-1…

Hello, my name is...

Happy to announce that @NSF support for OpenTopography has been renewed for another four years! This is the 5th generation of funding for OT. Support comes from NSF EAR's Geoinformatics program & the National Discovery Cloud for Climate initiative. More: opentopography.org/news/opentopog…

ICYMI: New work led by CIRES' @AliBanwell shows that ice shelves don’t just buckle under the weight of meltwater lakes—they fracture. @IanWillis16 @rebeccadell1 cires.colorado.edu/news/ice-shelv…

Hello Aurora! We saw our first ever northern lights tonight at 40 degrees latitude, thanks to the recent solar storm!

Updated report of the 2024 Hualien Earthquake Sequence in Taiwan using data from April 3 to May 6 (JpGU poster).

#ImageOfTheDay According to our #CopernicusClimate Change Service: 📈April 2024 was the warmest April on record globally, with 0.67°C above the 1991-2020 average for April and 0.14°C above the previous high set in April 2016 Read more at 🔗 #55c9d9ab-fb45-4667-94b0-084c3423879b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">climate.copernicus.eu/climate-bullet…

The open-air style banquet in the annual meeting of geological and geophysical society of #Taiwan in #Hualien. The tent, in fact, is built on the surface rupture of 2018 earthquake! Good weather, nice people and nice food.

Published today in @igsoc, our new study that includes the first in-situ observations of Antarctic ice-shelf fracture due to surface meltwater lakes: bit.ly/4aZ0SNz

The are so many aftershocks (many a day!) which makes me really feel like installing a seismometer at home to see whether the shake's just my illusions or not.

Ice cover on the Great Lakes is at historic lows – at a time when ice coverage is typically reaching its annual peak – due to warm winter weather and above-average surface water temperatures. go.nasa.gov/3P03DFB 🧊
