New online! A tall tower to measure the blowing snow in Antarctica bit.ly/4iIIUmx

In March 2025, Arctic sea ice hit its lowest annual peak on record. At the other end of the globe, Antarctic sea ice cover was the second-lowest on record that month. That means that, overall, Earth’s sea ice reached a new record low in 2025. 🌊🧊 go.nasa.gov/4j0lgCe

Interesting findings

Friday 21st March is World Water Day and the first ever World Day for Glaciers. ❄️💧 To mark the theme of "Glacier Preservation" @unibirmingham is hosting a series of online talks and a panel discussion which I'll be taking part in. For more info see birmingham.ac.uk/university/col…

🚨 Calling all cryospheric scientists and scholars 🚨 Abstract submission to the Climate and Cryosphere Open Science Conference 2026 is now OPEN! ❄️ 📅 Deadline: 31 July 2025 🔗 Guidelines: clic2026.com/abstracts 🔗 About CliC OSC: clic2026.com/about-clic-osc

New perspective article discussing how we define natural hazards in today's world. Key message: a barrier between 'human' and 'natural' events is often unhelpful, and we must consider the interaction between multiple hazards in all cases. nature.com/articles/s4430…

📢 Paper alert! Marijn van der Meer presents #miniML-MB, a machine learning-based glacier mass balance model. It works with small datasets, identifies key climatic drivers, and shows performances that are comparable to traditional models! ❄️📊 🔗: tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/80…

Indian Cryosphere Meet 2025, organised to bring together students and early career researchers working on cryosphere science

1/3] Glacier melt is accelerating, depleting freshwater and driving sea-level rise. A global @Nature study co-authored by us shows glaciers have lost 273 billion tonnes of ice per year since 2000, with a sharp increase in the past decade.🌍 🔗: doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

Call for #Abstracts Glaciers are retreating at unprecedented rates, reshaping landscapes and impacting billions worldwide. As crucial freshwater sources (holding 70% of the global supply), sensitive climate change indicators, and vital components of ecosystems, glaciers demand our attention. The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH), the Earth's Third Pole, shares this vulnerability with the Arctic. Both regions are experiencing rapid cryosphere melt, leading to water insecurity, sea level rise, ecosystem degradation, and increased geohazards like glacier lake outburst floods and landslides, negatively affecting local communities, Indigenous groups, and downstream populations. Significant gaps remain in glacier monitoring, especially in high mountain regions. To address this and discuss innovative solutions benefiting both regions, we are inviting researchers to share their latest data and solutions to cryosphere challenges at the Second Inter-Polar Conference: Connecting the Arctic with the Third Pole HKH – Cryosphere, People, and Climate Change (2025). The abstract deadline is: 30 April 2025 Join us on 3-5 September 2025 at ICIMOD, Kathmandu, Nepal to explore the effects of climate change on the cryosphere, and ecosystems. We will delve into the shared challenges of the HKH and the Arctic cryosphere, identifying common grounds for solutions and actions to address impacts. This includes understanding the cultural and spiritual significance of glaciers, recognising their role in supporting livelihoods and economies, and acknowledging their importance as a testimony to Earth's history. Connect with global experts and exchange perspectives and insights that can translate into concrete actions and long-term strategies for preserving Earth’s frozen assets and build resilience. Immediate, ambitious action to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations is crucial to stabilise the climate, preserve glaciers, and secure a sustainable future. This conference is jointly organised by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), the Arctic Centre of the University of Lapland, and the Ocean Policy Research Institute (OPRI) in collaboration with the UArctic Chair in Arctic Legal Research, and the UArctic Law Thematic Network.

Thrilled to share these breathtaking images from #Morteratschgletscher's #IceCave, captured by @LanderVanTricht. The cave has expanded in recent years, allowing visitors to walk several meters inside. But a word of caution – ice caves can collapse at any time! ❄️🌍
