Årets mätning av Kebnekaises sydtopp av professor Nina Kirchner och kollegor vid @tarfalaresstation.bsky.social visar att sydtoppen minskat med 0,1 meter jämfört med förra året. Detta är åttonde året i rad sydtoppen är lägre än nordtoppen. #Klimat #Arktis www.su.se/nyheter/nyhe...

Störtfloden i Nepal utlöstes av en glaciär som kollapsade. Det kan bli allt vanligare med kollapsande glaciärer. Nya bedömningar av risk- och farozoner behövs. Lyssna till Nina Kirchner, prof i glaciologi och föreståndare för @tarfalaresstation.bsky.social www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/expe...
