The Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise is out! Herculean effort bringing together >200 estimates of glacier loss outside the ice sheets. Bottom line is 273 gigatonnes per year of ice loss since the year 2000! 😲 Open-access article: doi.org/10.1038/s415... 🥼❄️ @natureportfolio.nature.com

Små gletsjere bidrager i øjeblikket mere til havniveaustigninger end indlandsisen i Grønland og på Antarktis, det viser internationalt studie udgivet i @nature.com med forskere fra blandt andet #GEUS. @glacierbytes.bsky.social 👇 www.geus.dk/om-geus/nyhe...

If you find yourself looking for an alternative to the big scientific publishers (Elsevier, Springer, etc.), I can recommend our in-house Diamond open-access journal— for which I’m a cryosphere editor! 💎👇 geusbulletin.org ❄️🥼

“We know that the appearance of crevasses can trigger a lot of feedback for ice loss... With so many feedbacks to enhance ice loss, crevasses are poised to play a large role in the faster-than-forecast response of the ice sheet to climate change.” - @glacierbytes.bsky.social

😳 Hey scientists, perhaps time to consider activating your @eurogeosciences.bsky.social membership? Vienna is lovely in the spring.

We’ve always known that crevasses are ubiquitous around the #Greenland ice sheet. Now @tomchudley.bsky.social gives us our first snapshots of them across the entire ice sheet, and it seems crevasse zones are expanding where glaciers are accelerating. That can trigger a bucket of feedbacks. 🥶⤵️

Hey All! 👋 Our project “Crevasses as indicators of ice-sheet stability” is looking for a post-doctoral fellow. We’re looking for someone with experience observing and/or modelling crevasse fracture. Advert: www.nature.com/naturecareer... (closes 16 March 2025)

I just retired my X account today. Honestly, that's probably 816 days overdue, but better late than never! 😂

No, net snowfall will persist at Camp Century until at least 2100 under all IPCC climate pathways. You can check out this wonderful video explaining our work forecasting Camp Century's future: www.undergroundchannel.dk/camp-century...

A lot of folks have strong opinions about the idea of intervening to reduce Antarctic ice loss. 🥶 This seems to be one of the more balanced reads on the topic. ⤵️ ❄️🥼

Huge congratulations to the ‘Beyond EPICA’ team for pushing the ice-core reconstruction of Earth’s atmosphere back to 1,200,000 years at Little Dome C! 🥳👏 www.bbc.com/news/article...
