Runaway #glacier loss has been my unwanted companion as I climb in the Andes. It not only makes climbing more dangerous, this rising imbalance in our alpine ecosystems has dire consequences to humans and wildlife. #ClimateAction Follow/share the thread ⬇️

France has endured 35 consecutive days of rain. One striking example: According to @Vigicrues, the Garonne at Marmande rose from 3.50 m on 10 February to over 10 m by 14 February. Here are 3 images that show the impact of the heavy rainfall from space: • Accumulated rainfall map (9–18 February 2026) using data from the @NASA/@JAXA_en GPM mission • Sentinel‑1 radar image (flooded areas in red) • Sentinel‑2 true‑colour view of the same region Our thoughts are with the communities affected as the region continues to face challenging conditions.

What if tectonic plates aren’t as solid as we thought? Thanks to satellite data from @CopernicusEU Sentinel-1 and other data sources, scientists have mapped how the Tibetan Plateau stretches and shifts, showing that Earth’s crust and upper mantle behave more like flowing material. 📸ESA (Data source: Wright, T. et al, 2026) esa.int/Applications/O…

Australia’s record heatwave as seen from space 🌡️ Thermal data acquired by the @copernicus_eu Sentinel‑3 Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer highlight the severity of the ongoing heatwave across Australia, with extreme land surface temperatures (LST) detected over large regions. For example, in Willcania and Broken Hill, recorded land surface temperatures ranged between 58 and 60 °C, whereas Adelaide appeared cooler, with temperatures of 45–48 °C, likely due to its proximity to the sea.

Biomass data are now available to the public✅ @esa's forest mission is the first satellite to carry a P-band synthetic aperture radar. Why is it so cool? It can penetrate dense forest canopies to measure woody biomass, including trunks and large branches, where the majority of forest carbon is held. This will help scientists provide a robust proxy for carbon storage: esa.int/Applications/O…

Forest fires in Chile as seen by @CopernicusEU Sentinel‑3 on 18 January - the image captured an extensive wildfire smoke plume originating near Concepción and sweeping over the Pacific Ocean. According to @conaf_minagri , as of the evening of 19 January, emergency crews were actively responding to 31 wildfires nationwide.

The remnants of a giant: a snapshot of the A23A iceberg, captured in December 2025, shows several pools of meltwater on the iceberg's surface. As of 2026, A23A continues to drift northeast, gradually melting and breaking down as it moves into warmer waters. 📸@CopernicusEU

Instantáneas de la Tierra después del anochecer Por primera vez, Sentinel-2A de @CopernicusEU ha capturado imágenes nocturnas de la Tierra, detectando llamaradas de gas en Oriente Medio, incendios forestales en la India e incluso barcos pesqueros en Corea del Sur. Los resultados de estas pruebas se están utilizando para preparar el Sentinel-2 Next Generation.

10 years of @CopernicusEU Sentinel-1 data has revealed the extent and speed of ice moving off the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica into the sea. An example? Sermeq Kujalleq, also known as the Jakobshavn Glacier, is one of the fastest outlet glaciers in the world with velocities reaching, at times, as much as 50 m per day: esa.int/Applications/O…

Snow day from space! ❄️ @CopernicusEU Sentinel-2 captured this view of Amsterdam blanketed in snow on 6 January. The winter storm brought hazardous roads, travel disruptions, and numerous train and flight cancellations across the region.

As the year draws to a close, I’m reminded how little any of us achieve alone. Thank you to the people who stood beside me, challenged me, and kept me going. Teamwork changes everything. I’m deeply grateful.
