Now published in Engineering Geology! Our PhD student Jane Walden investigates paraglacial landslide motion during glacier retreat at Portage Glacier, Alaska. Congrats Jane! Paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Cruise ships are flocking to Alaska to chase ice. But receding glaciers are leaving a new threat behind | CNN
It was a very early morning in August when an entire mountainside in Alaska’s Tracy Arm fjord detached and slid into the deep ocean water beneath it.

[1/2] 📢 GLAMOS @scnat.ch press release out today: Swiss glaciers lost another 3% of their volume in 2025, the 4th-largest decline ever measured. In just 10 years, they’ve lost a quarter of their ice mass. Over 1k small glaciers have already vanished. 🔗 to press release: scnat.ch/en/uuid/i/9d...

Incredible ice loss measured again at #Konkordiaplatz on the #Aletsch #Glacier, home to the thickest ice in the #Alps (still about 800 m!). Yesterday’s survey revealed another –4.6 m of ice gone in just one year. :( Measurements by @matthias-huss.bsky.social for GLAMOS

Was the Birch Glacier #Blatten landslide due to climate change? Some thoughts here: www.antarcticglaciers.org/2025/05/birc...

Birch Glacier and Blatten Landslide - AntarcticGlaciers.org
The collapse of Birch Glacier and the devastating landslide that impacted the Swiss village of Blatten occurred as a result of supraglacial landslides.

Here is a factsheet on what is currently known about Birchgletscher, the Swiss glacier that catastrophically collapsed on 28 May 2025, following heavy debris loading from Kleines Nesthorn. Our thoughts are with all those most deeply affected. polybox.ethz.ch/index.php/s/...

A symbolic heart drawn yesterday by 300 children from the valley, at the estimated location of the Mer de Glace front in 2035... 😢 Glaciers need actions more than symbols. Human need symbols to tell themselves that they have control over their lives 🤍 📷 Cie Guides Chamonix / IG

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Thanks to my colleagues for joining the @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social Pickathon yesterday afternoon! 🤓 Using seismic data from my field site in Alaska, we identified local events such as rockfall, with the aim being to quantify the uncertainty of a single picker and make an event catalog 🏔️🪨
A group of 5 scientists sits around a conference table looking at their laptop screens which show colorful bars of seismic data. A large image of Alaska - composed of forest, water, and clouds - is projected in the background.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Over the river, and through the woods, to WORK we go; the skis know the way to carry us through the white and drifted snow! ❄️🎿⛷️
