The State of the Cryosphere Report 2024 warns that on a trajectory toward 3°C of warming, many regions will experience sea level rise and water resource loss beyond adaptation limits this century.

Geoengineering is not a plan. Decarbonisation is.

Lakes forming next to Greenland's melting ice sheet are speeding up glacier flow

A growing network of #meltwater lakes at the edge of the #Greenland ice sheet is #accelerating the flow of major #glaciers, potentially increasing the pace of global #SeaLevelRise. Warmer air and sea temperatures have led to the loss of around 264 gigatons of ice every year in Greenland since 2002, causing sea levels to rise by 0.8 millimeters annually. But a new study by the University of Leeds examining glacier behavior across the entire ice sheet has highlighted a lesser-known feature that is amplifying this mass loss—the freshwater lakes forming as the ice retreats.

hey #cryosphere #snowscience #glaciology - this is a good lead to follow. Yes, many non US events are held 🙌🏻 - however in-person events in tye US, aimed at international audiences are still routinely advertised on cryolist...

State of the Global Climate 2025

The World Meteorological Organization "State of Climate report confirms

2015-2025 hottest 11 years on record

Earth’s energy imbalance is highest in sixty five-year record.

The ocean has been absorbing about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades.

Extreme weather impacts millions and costs billions."

State of the Global Climate 2025

WMO’s State of the Global Climate report 2025 confirms that 2015-2025 are the hottest 11-years on record, and that 2025 was the second or third hottest year on record, at about 1.43 °C above the 1850-1900 average. Extreme events around the world, including intense heat, heavy rainfall and tropical cyclones, caused disruption and devastation and highlighted the vulnerability of our inter-connected economies and societies.The ocean continues to warm and absorb carbon dioxide. It has been absorbing the equivalent of about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades. Annual sea ice extent in the Arctic was at or near a record low, Antarctic sea ice extent was the third lowest on record, and glacier melt continued unabated, according to the report.For the first time, the report includes the Earth’s energy imbalance as one of the key climate indicators.

Glacierwatch Mar 16

Her work invites viewers to look closely at the textures, light, and movement of ice—revealing glaciers as powerful yet vulnerable witnesses to the climate crisis.

Meet Sarah and our other panelists on March 19 from 6pm CET for an online panel discussion as a Side Event to the UNESCO World Glacier Day.
