Helikite up, science on! On board FOREL in South Greenland, the GreenFjord team deployed the helikite and carried out lake sampling, incubations, drones, and a science meeting — all framed by stunning views. 📸 Julia Schmale & team @epflcampus #FOREL2025 #GreenFjord #EPFL

1/3 🚨 Published today in @Nature We’re thrilled to celebrate the latest work by our colleague Dominik Gräff! 🎉 Using seafloor fiber-optic sensing, his team watched Greenland’s glaciers calve in real time & found something surprising 🌊🧊 📸: D. Gräff

Depuis bien longtemps, la Berne fédérale se trompe sur la manière dont la Suisse est perçue aux Etats-Unis. Elle surestime sa position et ses leviers. Contrairement à d’autres pays, elle néglige l’importance du lobbyisme à Washington. Et ça a commencé bien avant Trump. 👇

Heat is a silent killer. The hottest June on record in Western Europe caused 2,300 deaths across 12 cities, of which 1,500 were down to the climate crisis (see link in comment). Subsidizing fossil fuels costs lives. climate.copernicus.eu/heatwaves-cont…

The #Glacier Loss Day is reached in Switzerland! From now on all melt that occurs on glaciers until October is unsustainable. This tipping point has only been reached so early in the record-shattering year 2022. Expect big ice loss due to the prolonged melt season and feedbacks
