Human are solving problems by making little crutches 🩼
Bandaids on a wooden leg!
For glacier preservation, tarps came first ❄️
See how futile they look under the eye of artist Thomas Wrede 📷

Mer de glace glacier in French Alps between 2007 and 2024. Alternative version without rewind effect.
Quantitative data on thickness change are provided by @IGE_Grenoble GLACIOCLIM observation service (CNRS/UGA/OSUG/IGE): glacioclim.osug.fr/Donnees-d…
(extrapolation for the year 2024)
Thanks to Compagnie du Mont Blanc for webcams (@MONTBLANC_NR ) and to Jean-Michel Friedt and @IGE_Grenoble for archiving.

For all these years, it was just a name, a hope, a dream. Now the water stable isotope measurements confirmed that we have officially surpassed EPICA Dome C as the oldest continuous ice core record!
We are truly Beyond EPICA!
Merry Christmas to everyone!

Remember Rhône glacier viral post? 👇

This is how Mer de Glace behaved during almost the same 15yr interval (2007-2022):
~80 m thinning at 1800 m asl!

Launched today: annual updates of key indicators of global climate change.
Using methods from the latest @IPCC_CH assessment and the latest available data, we paint a picture of where the planer is heading under climate change. (1/n)

🌡️Le réchauffement climatique se fait déjà ressentir au quotidien. Pour le visualiser, nous avons réalisé, avec @math_lehot et @maxloisel, un tableau de bord inédit, mis à jour quotidiennement ⤵️ francetvinfo.fr/meteo/climat…

Very dry last few weeks for France.
Of course, it would be much better if @meteofrance allowed free & open access to all their historical weather station observations so that anyone could look at how unusual this is.
But they don't. C'est la vie.

🌧️❌ La #pluie n'est pas tombée en France depuis le 21 janvier, soit une série de 31 jours consécutifs (20 février inclus), du jamais vu durant un hiver météorologique.
📊Tous mois confondus, cette série consécutive égale celle de l'année 2020 du 17 mars au 16 avril.

Downwasting of the glacier tongue has triggered an impressive landslide in the right lateral moraine since 2009 🪨❄️

🌐This year’s #ozonehole is closing later than most in the last 40 years and is within the 15 largest holes in our #CopernicusAtmosphere + #C3S data record dating back to 1979.

Our latest animation of changing vertical cross-section of the #ozone distribution in the atmosphere, along the 8W/172E meridien from the equator to the South Pole and 🔙, shows the growth and decline of the 2022 #ozonehole from 1 Jul to 21 Nov

When you see this, you get a sense for why the term “glacier downwasting” exists. Absolutely impressive images by our 🇦🇹 colleagues at @ZAMG_AT and @grossglockner_ (animation prepared by F. Paul @uzh_geo)‼️
