Recognice

is a non-profit organisation for the recognition of all ice on planet earth: glaciers, sea ice, ice sheets, snow and permafrost features! Join us!

More information on what we know here: https://t.co/3TCh2Cf0nt This is now unlikely to be a GLOF, more probably a glacier collapse or a rock and/or ice avalanche.

Great animation of the trajectory of iceberg #A68a over the last three weeks and it’s handbrake turn to avoid hitting South Georgia.

@ec_zurich Thanks so much @ec_zurich ! We are stoked to have access to this fantastic Hub and are looking forward to the exchange with all your skilled members!

@mr_nigiri @BernhardGahr Does it distract from the real Voice?;-)

[Recognice @RecogniceNow]

Glaciers as seen from Furka Pass. Hereby a truly unique visual angle to understand how those little icy patches are actually connected. Turn your sound on for the biggest https://t.co/emUqJv8cs6!

@realglacier We observed a very similar feature last week in the recently detached lower part of Turtmann Glacier in Valais. See the upper left corner of this screenshot of a longer item by @LeTemps , drone footage by @xavierfilliez .

[What's this data? @whatsthisdata]

Mass balance of a #glacier is the gain and loss of ice from the glacier system, an important climate change indicator. WGMS calculated glacier mass loss of over 20 meters of w.e. from 1976-2005, with mean annual melting rates doubling after 2000. #ClimateChange #rstats #dataviz

@FabClimate @matthias_huss Idem, would you agree we simply have to accept some environmental impacts to eventually save a rainbow?

[Recognice @RecogniceNow]

@matthias_huss @FabClimate Ouch, that image speaks, thanks for sharing. Regarding the impact of technical solutions: shouldn't we consider human-induced deglaciation as an even larger impact on pristine environments?

[Recognice @RecogniceNow]

@matthias_huss @FabClimate May I ask for a critical review of your own words though, @matthias_huss : “The only way we can save glaciers is slashing emissions...” Ain't gonna happen, is it? So shouldn't we better promote and support any ingenious attempt to save some glaciers?

@AlpineBiogeo Dear Jana, we've made an animation around the collapse of Turtmann Glacier, including the glacier's previous outlines as found in your publication from 2013. Enjoy!

Recognice what's behind... the dramatic collapse of Turtmann Glacier! Check out our first animated video and read the blog!

@AlpineBiogeo Fantastic series of pictures Jana, thanks for sharing. I found them through an article on @watson_news. We would be very glad to use them in a graphic. Can we talk about this privately? Best regards, the team of @RecogniceNow

A letter from the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) to @UNFCCC summarising glacier changes and can be read on their website: https://t.co/DEdCG6QOgO and a short letter to @nature here: https://t.co/0x2asHCdul

[Recognice @RecogniceNow]

Very nice overview over some of the key glacier data! Check out our website https://t.co/kRRQ913jTm for plots of the glaciers seen from San Salvatore in Lugano Switzerland (a subset of the WGMS data).

Articles get published even during these troubled times.
Here's a new study lead by the WGMS on estimating global glacier mass change for the most recent years.
Another acceleration of losses to more than 400 billion tons of ice annually...
