The CBC has a long form report on the eventual end of the Peyto Glacier in Alberta's Glacier Parkway. This is the reference glacier for this beautiful area, but it is rapidly melting in a warming climate. The water from the glaciers in the Glacier Parkway acts as a reservoir for Alberta, and if they are gone, it is a big problem. #ClimateChange #Glaciers https://www.cbc.ca/newsinteractives/features/the-canary-in-the-icefield

Trad intro.

Après des décennies de pratique des sciences de l'#Antarctique, j'ai appris que les changements physiques et biologiques se font rarement en douceur., Le #climat et les #écosystèmes de l'Antarctique subissent à l'heure actuelle des changements inquiétants.

Une grande partie de la glace de mer de cet hiver a disparu. Un courant océanique crucial ralentit, et les #glaciers et les plates-formes de glace se désintègrent.

My condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Maya Bhatia, a professor at University of Alberta who studied biogeochemistry in glaciers and meltwater. Field work on glaciers is exciting and important, but also very dangerous. #ClimateChange #glaciers https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/researcher-maya-bhatia-dies-in-grise-fiord-nunavut-1.6945034

"Indonesia’s tropical Eternity Glaciers could vanish within years, experts say"

"Two of the world's few tropical glaciers in Indonesia are melting, their ice under threat to vanish by 2026 or sooner, as an El Nino weather pattern lengthens the dry season in the southeast Asian nation, its geophysics agency said on Wednesday."

« Même en Antarctique, l'un des endroits les plus isolés de la planète, les scientifiques enregistrent des records de température. Les #glaciers fondent et la #banquise a atteint son plus bas niveau depuis le début des relevés satellites. Le dérèglement a de lourdes conséquences sur la #biodiversité, les #CourantsMarins et pourrait accentuer le #RéchauffementClimatique. »

Yet another farewell to one of "my" #glaciers. Yesterday I went up to St. Annafirn in the early morning for the last time. After more than a decade we stop monitoring mass balance on this small piece of dying ice. The last years were just too much...

Robel et al create a model of water exfiltration from sediments underneath glaciers as a glacier thins. As the ice thins, the overburden pressue decreases, allowing the water to escape the sediments. This causes a positive feedback loop, where the water will allow the ice to slide easier, promoting more thinning. #ClimateChange #IceSheets #Glaciers #Hydrology https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/sciadv.adh3693

“With a zero-degree isotherm far above 5,000m (above sea level), all glaciers in the Alps are exposed to melt — up to their highest altitudes,” said Daniel Farinotti, a glaciologist at the federal technical university in Zurich, ETHZ, in an email. “Such events are rare and detrimental to the glaciers’ health, as they live from snow being accumulated at high altitudes.”

“If such conditions persist in the longer term, #glaciers are set to be lost irreversibly,” he said.

Hi fedi!
A dew days ago I saw a very nice interactive map showing the water coverage of the world at 1.5C. Anyone knows of a website like that?

Boosts appreciated :) :boostRequest:

“John Pomeroy, #Canada Research Chair in #WaterResources and #ClimateChange at the #UniversityOfSaskatchewan, says faster-than-expected melting in the past few years makes it likely that all the #glaciers of the #Rockies—including the famed #ColumbiaIcefield, upon which a thriving tourism industry depends—will all be gone by the end of the century, save for a few remnants. That means reduced flows to rivers that millions of people depend on”

Ilulissat Icefjord in West Greenland filled with icebergs and melange from Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier (this is the Greenlandic name, also known in Danish and past scientific literature as Jakobshavn). These icebergs are massive, but smaller than they used to be. #Greenlandic #glaciers #icefjord #ice #climate
