Der Furkapass gehört mit seiner Geschichte und seinen Geschichten (von Königin Victoria bis James Bond) zu den spannendsten Radelstrecken in der #Schweiz. Erschreckend jedoch, wie wenig vom Rhone-Gletscher am „Hotel Belvedere“ noch zu sehen ist. Man vergleiche die Filmszene aus dem James Bond-Klassiker „Goldfinger“ von 1964.

Excited that one of my passive #dust samplers is now deployed on the Monte Rosa massif in northern #italy! Thanks to collaborators from the University of Turin for making this unique opportunity possible. #dustsquared #CriticalZone #Alps #environment #geology #soil

5 hours of #startrails over the Bavarian #alps. The image is composed of about 300 photos with 60 sec. exposure time each.
#rockfall yesterday in the Maurienne Valley, french #Alps 🇫🇷, causing the cut of roads to Italy 🇮🇹.
The relation to the #permafrost melting, as suggested in the paper, is questionable because of low elevation of the event…
But any impact from the heavy rains of past days?

It's #MountainMonday and #10YearsAgo we fulfilled one of our dreams. What a weekend, what an experience... we were indestructible 🤠
We climbed Ortler (3905m, also called Ortles), the highest mountain in #SouthTyrol, in the region of #Tyrol, and the former Austro-Hungarian Empire.
We had great weather, a great company, and an astonishing panorama.

On this #MountainMonday I share a pic with you from summer but also winter 🤠
We did a hike to the highest sampling point of the #BiodiversityMonitoringSouthTyrol at 3100m. And we climed the nearby summits of Piz Sesvenna (3204m) and Foratrida (3134m).
Mystic atmosphere that day.

Not only for #MountainMonday I did a small detour today above one of our #BiodiversityMonitoringSouthTyrol plots in #Meran, #SouthTyrol 😎

Rotor #clouds over the Swiss #Alps, as seen from Ausserbinn, Canton of #Valais. These are caused by lee #waves (a kind of gravity wave) over #mountains. Extremely dangerous for aircraft, can exist even in clear air. We can see them in this #timelapse thanks to the condensed moisture entrained by wave.

When I started my analyses in 2016, the #glacier was right in front of my plots. Now it is several 100m away.

Had. Great field day. Got quite a few plots done. And I simply love the tiny but colourful plants in the #glacier forefields.
The Ibex were pretty fearless and foraged around while we were working.

I've been away for a week to a beautiful valley in the Alps. I feel so relaxed as if I was gone for four weeks 😊 Except my legs. They were doing overtime! #FotoMontag #Alps #Austria

Arrived in the rain at the #MountainHut, just as a thunderstorm started. Tomorrow and the next days, we will be doing #fieldwork in the forefield of the Hallstätter glacier. And tonight I even spotted an Ibex. I usually saw them only in the other region we will be investigating later this week (close to Adamek hut).

Altesch #Glacier #Valais #Switzerland with Trugberg (3932m asl) in the background. The black streaks are the lateral moraines of the different glacier tributaries. On the sides of the mountains, you can spot the blank walls and the upper debris layers of the former lateral moraines were the glacier surface was (c. 100m higher than today) at the peak of the Little Ice Age (c. 1850).
This was our last excursion to the Swiss #Alps this year. But not the last glacier (stay tuned).

"After 20 years of above-ground surveys, archaeologists have excavated the famous Iron Age site of Němčice and confirmed the presence of the earliest glass workshop north of the Alps".

The pastures are especially species rich and colourful when slightly disturbed. The grazed pasture without further disturbance (other than cattle grazing and trampling) are less diverse.
Even old snow fields have life. The locally called "glacier blood" is from #microorganisms like bacteria (e.g. Chlamydomonas nivals) and algae (e.g. Ancylonema spp.).
