Tirol und das Wallis diskutieren um die gleiche Vision: Mehr Wasserkraft aus den Bergen. Aber voneinander Wissen und Lernen ist bisher Fehlanzeige. #kaunertal #gornerli
Tirol: Das Platzertal soll einem Stausee weichen - saubere Energie gegen unberührte Natur. Ein Zielkonflikt, heute im #Report.

🌡️ Der #Permafrost in den Schweizer #Alpen war 2024 so warm wie noch nie – das zeigen die neuesten Daten des Beobachtungsnetzwerks #PERMOS. Diese Veränderungen werden sich auch in den kommenden Jahren und Jahrzehnten fortsetzen ➡️ scnat.ch/de/id/WbQd9

Seeing #Blatten and the #Nesthorn collapse for real does leave a lasting impression. Yellow CAT excavators waiting look like ants.

After a full day of non stop interviews on rockfall, glaciers, permafrost and Valais natural hazard management it’s nice to end the day in a peaceful mountain setting. Why is it that despite how many times you explain that rocks fall because of this climate thingy they still put it in the headlines?

Another magnitude 1.0 event was registered yesterday at 2025-05-29 12:34 in #Blatten. In the line of the 15 events registered over the past two weeks this one parks in at a moderate scale. And just another reminder that the mountain has not yet reached an equilibrium state yet.

Absolutely stunning ultra-high resolution @planet.com SkySat imagery of the Klein Nesthorn landslide, which buried the village of Blatten, Switzerland yesterday. @davepetley.bsky.social @eth-eaps.bsky.social @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social @kristencook.bsky.social @annepellegrino.bsky.social 🧪⚒️🛰️

Swiss Seismological Survey published a nice overview plot of the earth shaking and wobbling as response to first a series of rockfalls/rockslides onto the Birchgletscher and then finally more and more mumbling and rumbling leading to the final break-off.

Stunning Master thesis by Matthias Nyfeler @Uni Zurich in 2013 on the Lötschental and the impact of glacial melt.

The Birchgletscher collapse shook the Matterhorn!

Not really a surprise but a fun fact that the collapse of the Birchgletscher is clearly visible at our high-altitude seismic station Solvay 4003 m a.s.l. up on the Hörnliridge (bottom left).

What an inaugural post on bsky.app. A (the) major glacier collapse at Bichgletscher/Kleines Nesthorn.
