It has been argued that air temperatures over mountain glaciers are decoupled from surrounding warming, which could slow down melting. Here the authors show that this effect will weaken with future glacier retreat, leading to a recoupling of temperatures from the 2030s onwards.

Glacier loss has profound effects worldwide and will soar to 75% on Earth’s heating trajectory, say scientists

The Spirit of the Rainforest

Bright snow topped the island’s thick ice sheet, while a swirling display of sea ice hugged the southeast coast.

In 2024, we were very lucky to be able to catch up with women working in the field of Earth observation and modelling from across the world at the ESA/NASA Cryo2ice conference in Iceland. Ahead of International Women’s Day 2025 coming up this Saturday, we gathered some of the perspectives shared with us on the importance of studying and understanding the Earth, what it’s like working in this area of science and why it’s important to share scientific understanding with the world- as well as encouraging words for women and girls thinking of pursuing a career in science.as well as encouraging words for women and girls thinking of pursuing a career in science. Thank you to our interviewees for taking part in this video: CPOM Principal Investigator: Sea Ice Earth Observation, Rosemary Willatt (UCL), Anny Cazenave (LEGOS), CPOM Director for Knowledge Exchange, Sammie Buzzard (Northumbria University), Liza Wilson (University of Iceland/Fulbright Commission Iceland), Rachel Tilling (NASA), Bryony Freer (Scripps Institute of Oceanography) and Helen Fricker (Scripps Institute of Oceanography). A special thanks must also go to the ESA and NASA Cryo2ice team, who facilitated many of the interviews included in this video.

Decades-long research shows world’s glaciers collectively lost 6.542tn tonnes of ice between 2000 and 2023

The planet's glaciers have lost 5% of their ice in little over 20 years, according to a major study.
