The #Glacier Loss Day is reached in Switzerland! From now on all melt that occurs on glaciers until October is unsustainable. This tipping point has only been reached so early in the record-shattering year 2022. Expect big ice loss due to the prolonged melt season and feedback effects! Results are based on intermediate observations on 12 Swiss glaciers acquired in the frame of GLAMOS combined with modelling. Little winter snow and the 2nd warmest June have led to this situation. Final results on glacier loss 2025 to be published on 1 Oct VAW Glaciology Eidg.

ah, Griessgletsjer. Was there in September 2009. Not a picture from exactly the same spot . I guess we saw some of your equipment
I join in with Martin - liked it just to reach out to even more people. Really depressing to see how climate change is impacting us all… Am not going to comment in detail on the fueling power of this undesired trend by hypes associated to crypto and AI. There is enough sources to check yourself.

1wSad milestone Matthias Huss. If I understand correctly, 2001 was the last year without No Glacier Loss Day. Is there an estimate of the percentage of glacier that was lost since that year?
