1/2 A first in glacier modeling from our PhD student Marijn van der Meer and colleagues! Their preprint introduces the first LSTM neural network applied to glacier mass balance modeling, built within the Mass Balance Machine (#MBM) framework. 🏔️❄️

[Adam Kashdan @AdamKashdan]

My geocryologist friend Robert Sysolyatin and Prof. Chris Burn, former president of the International Permafrost Association (IPA), are participating. The State Key Laboratory of Cryosphere and Frozen Soil Science and Engineering (SKL-CSFSE) are also involved😘

Moving workloads to Arm-based infrastructure?

@Arm built a custom agent for GitHub Copilot to help you do just that. Now, we dig into how it actually works. 🤖

Join us for a live demo featuring Eric Sondhi from Arm and Alexis Abril from GitHub.

Set your reminder. 👇

Spectacular frontal view of Argentière Glacier 🧊🔥
July 2024

Argentière Gl. spans 3600 to 2100 m (ice cliff below 👇) and was 11 km² in 2022

See this recent paper to find out how Saharan dust influences its mass balance ❄️🏜️

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES! 😱

On 15 Aug. at Lac de la Muzelle (2105 m) in the heart of the Écrins NP, 215 tents were pitched for bivi!

Surveys conducted by the NP reveal high proportion of mountain novices, attracted here by Instagram, TikTok or even AI recommendations!

We have received several requests for a deadline extension on the paper submission to the thematic Annals of Glaciology collection on ‘Vanishing Glaciers’

We have thus extended the deadline until the 30thof June 2025.

Please visit https://t.co/StjTe2VCmK further details
