100M people could lose their homes to sea-level rise even under optimistic emissions. 600M if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet goes. Arête Glacier Initiative is building the forecasts — and exploring the interventions — to give humanity a path forward. #EarthDay #ClimateScience #SeaLevelRise

One year ago, Arête Glacier Initiative launched on World Day for Glaciers. $1M+ in grants, modeling underway, first Antarctic field campaign next. This is just the beginning.

For decades, glacier science has focused on documenting loss. In a new op-ed for The Guardian, our Chief Scientist and Deputy Scientist explain why that can’t be where the story ends - and why better sea-level forecasts and new solutions matter. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We study glaciers. ‘Artificial glaciers’ and other tech may halt their total collapse | Brent Minchew and Colin Meyer
How might we prevent sea-level rise? Satellite-based radar, solar-powered drones, robot submarines and lab-based ‘artificial glaciers’ could all play a role
