Wrote a small blog on "What I learned from my visit to the Southern Alps"

Do have a read, if you like glacial geomorphology and landforms.

Geoengineering is not going to save the poles from climate change A review of the five main methods proposed for cooling down the poles or slowing the loss of ice concludes they are all wildly impractical, wouldn't work, or both

With emissions still rising πŸ“ˆ and the catastrophic consequences πŸ”₯ becoming ever clearer, geoengineering is getting ever more tempting πŸ§ͺ

But a review has concluded that the main methods proposed to save polar ice 🧊 are not doable or won't work

It's the time of the year GLAMOS measurements on around 20 Swiss #glaciers start. We've been on Rhone, Allalin, Corvatsch, ... these days.
Not all as shiny white as here! Major losses also in 2025. Stay posted for the press release via @scnat.ch on 1 Oct

This is the collapsing terminus of Rhone #glacier yesterday - retreating out of its proglacial lake. Impressive changes going on during the heat wave!
We measured almost 3 meters of ice melting over the last 4 weeks... This is 10 cm of ice layer removed every single day!!

I recently got an opportunity to speak on glaciers and how would the world look like if the climate is continuously warming up, and glaciers are losing mass.

Tried my best to communicate from my experiences and domain knowledge in this podcast!
