To map the effects of climate change, mountain hydrologist Walter Immerzeel (@mountainhydrology.bsky.social) and his team venture to remote altitudes where other scientists do not go.

Nice highlight on EOS about the recent paper by @mountainhydrology.bsky.social and me on the surface changes of debris-covered glaciers, revealed through five years of drone surveys: eos.org/editor-highl...

Fancy animations and all of our high-resolution drone data at doi.org/10.5281/zeno...
The Complex Evolution of Debris-Covered Glacier Surfaces - Eos
A first look at how the surfaces of debris-covered glaciers evolve over time from six years of drone surveys in the Nepal Himalaya.

Philip @kraaijenbrink.bsky.social pioneered using drones on understanding debris covered Himalayan glaciers. Now a final paper is published that summarizes 5 years of drone surveys in the Langtang valley in Nepal! @mountainhydrology.bsky.social

Spatial and Temporal Variability of the Surface Mass Balance of Debris‐Covered Glacier Tongues
Surface mass loss has high spatial heterogeneity, particularly near ice cliffs, but it is reduced at multi-annual time scale Although the overall effect is amplification, ice cliffs can both enha...

A week of icy fun in Northern Sweden: ice skating, sledge dogs, winter BBQ and not reading the world news: very refreshing!

🚨 Abstract submissions for our IMC session on "Drought in mountain regions" are due Thursday (20 Feb)! 🏔️💦❄️🔆Join us to explore case studies of drought impacts in various mountain ranges, investigate up-downstream connections and drought propagation processes and more: imc2025.info/imc25/sessio...

Protesting against the planned humongous budget cuts for science and education by our new government. Something is moving 👏

Fresh start at @bsky.app after fieldwork in the Himalaya. Wonderful time with @josephshea.bsky.social and @kraaijenbrink.bsky.social. Snow, rain, evapotranspiration and soil moisture at high altitude, and another sad year for the glaciers is the short summary.

Back in Kathmandu after 16 days of #fieldwork in Langtang Valley, #Nepal: 152 kms walked; 12,000m total elevation gain; countless rounds of Yahtzee and Uno, and healthy doses of mountain hydrology science, camaraderie, and fresh air. @immerzeel.bsky.social @kraaijenbrink.bsky.social
