Check out our latest work from the Dolomites. We tried to estimate the mass balance of the remaining Dolomites glaciers since the 1980s using LiDAR, SfM and historical imagery. No surprise: huge mass loss, shrinking area, and increasing debris cover.

❄️ Glaciers are not just ice❄️

We examined the sources of radioactivity in cryoconite, the sediment accumulating on glacier surfaces.

The main contributors? Nuclear tests, the Chernobyl disaster, and the atmospheric re-entry of the SNAP-9A satellite.

While all of this is happening to our scientific agencies, the current extent of sea ice globally remains at record low levels...

Anyone working on climate change has almost certainly used graphics by @zacklabe.com, they’re a global reference. That’s why it’s truly astonishing to learn he was fired from @noaa.gov.

All my support to him. I hope he finds a new role where his talent is fully valued and recognized.

🎉🎉🎉 Woo hoo! 🎉🎉🎉

Amazing feat by the Beyond EPICA-Oldest Ice team!

Smashing the 800,000 year record for a continuous ice core by a country mile back to 1.2 million years ago.

Quando la neve a gennaio fa notizia.
Nell'immagine l'altopiano del Laceno (by Skyline) innevato e considerevolmente freddo. Non dovrebbe esserci nulla di anomalo o incredibile in questa foto, perché l'Appennino meridionale ha una storia fatta di grandi nevicate, eppure rimaniamo sorpresi... 1/6

A great opportunity at a fantastic department - Assistant Professor in Physical Geography @geogdurham.bsky.social. We are looking for candidates with expertise in ice sheets and glaciers that will complement and extend our current work. Closing date 12th January.❄️⚒️🧪 durham.taleo.net/careersectio...

For a few years I was part of the great @eurogeosciences.bsky.social cryoblog team.

It was one of my first steps in science communication and I was happy to relive those times in this interview prepared for the blog's 10th anniversary!

I ghiacciai in ritirata sulle Alpi stanno restituendo molto materiale della cultura neolitica

Stupefacente e dimenticato dai media è il porta arco in corteccia di betulla trovato in Svizzera

Unico ritrovamento al mondo

Quanto importante era preservare dalle intemperie il proprio arco! 🧪

Let's start with a nice landscape carved by a glacier 20,000 years ago or so.
