Le monde perd son équilibre. J'ai pensé que l'allégorie pouvait nous aider à réfléchir et agir collectivement.

Une fable à consommer et partager sans modération. Et à faire apprendre à nos enfants?

@NaturePortfolio @NatureComms Similar observations and (unpublished 😅) conclusion made with @FMassonnet and others in 2015 while observing peppercorns acting as small ballons in gin tonic: https://t.co/71kp2wDnk0

Today we had the chance to welcome the great @HarryZeko . He gave a bright lecture on the past and futur fate of #glaciers worldwide. I learnt that there are more than 200,000 of them (glaciers, not Harries, unfortunately).

Cool science ahead with his #ERC Starting Grant!

Finally out! 🎉🎉🥳🥳

I'm thrilled to share all the visualizations, but I'm particularly excited about this one:

For the best experience, I recommend viewing it in full resolution and with the music on.

Enjoy!

The consequences of climate change can be felt everywhere.

In a study published in @NatureClimate, we show how Antarctic meteorites are threatened by global warming.

Every year, over 5000 meteorites are lost from the surface of the ice sheet. How? [1/7]

@fmbreon Je crois qu'il va devoir se résoudre à utiliser un polynôme d'ordre 74.
