Largest glacier in the western Alps as seen by the #Pleiades satellite with Leschaux Gl. and Talèfre former tributary 🤍
Almost no ice left right from Montenvers... 😭

Sunrise on Mt. Everest, Sagarmatha.

From the south summit you can see the Hillary Step and the entire summit ridge all the way to the summit.

The magnificence of the NZ Southern Alps geomorphology! 🤩

#Tasman Glacier two weeks ago with the huge Neoglacial terminal moraine well visible!
Aoraki/Mt Cook (not visible) to the left and pretty weak snow cover! 🏔️🔥

When it occurred, 2016 was striking as the hottest directly measured year up until that point.

Eight years later, 2024 will set a new record for the hottest year.

2024 will be ~0.25 °C (~0.45 °F) hotter than 2016.

Adamello Glacier
2010 | 2022

The current fate of the largest italian glacier! 😱

It suffered a lot of last extreme years as accumulation basins are not very high (~3000m), making it sensitive to strong ELA rise (📈from <3000 to 3300 today)! 🌡️

January = Fresh new start

February-November = Questionable choices

December = Burn out

A great opportunity at a fantastic department - Assistant Professor in Physical Geography @GeogDurham. We are looking for candidates with expertise in ice sheets and glaciers that will complement and extend our current work. Closing date 12th January. https://t.co/z1CW2CCqbt

How did global air temperatures vary before 1850?

We can now answer this from direct instrumental observations.

The new GloSAT dataset is under review!

"Scientists sound alarm about terrifying ocean event that could bring global devastation"

But will anyone listen?

My statement on the outcome of #COP29:

While the agreement reached at COP29 avoids immediate failure, it is far from a success. On the key issues like climate finance and the transition away from fossil fuels, this is — yet again — the bare minimum.

We cannot continue to rely on last-minute half measures. Leaders today shirk their responsibility by focusing on long-term, aspirational goals that extend far beyond their own terms in office. To meet the challenge of our time, we need real action at the scale of months and years, not decades and quarter-centuries.

This experience in Baku illuminates deeper flaws in the COP process, including the outsized influence of fossil fuel interests that has hobbled this process since its inception. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been particularly obstructive. Putting the future of humanity at severe risk in order to make more money is truly disgraceful behavior. Reforming this process so that the polluters are not in effective control must be a priority.

On climate finance, our primary task in the coming years must be to not only fulfill and build upon the financial commitments agreed to at COP29, but to unleash even larger flows of affordable and fair private capital for developing countries.

Ultimately, coming out of COP29, we must transform disappointment into determination. We can solve the climate crisis. Whether we do so in time to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement will depend on what comes next.

Since everyone seems to be going (or gone). Not much need to be here anymore I guess.
