8 Jahre ist es jetzt mittlerweile her, dass ich dort oben auf ca. 2.700m stand und diesen malerischen Sonnenuntergang erleben durfte. Es war der anstrengendste Auf- und Abstieg, den ich bisher erleben durfte, der von einer Woche Muskelkater begleitet wurde. Ein Glück war zu diesem Zeitpunkt meine Foto-Ausrüstung mit der ur-E-M5 mit dem Kit von Olympus noch superklein und superleicht.
Doch da oben zu stehen und sein Gipfelradler bei diesem Anblick genüsslich zu schlürfen hatte schon echt was.

Ancient glacier finding reveals clues to how complex life on Earth evolved.

From @CNN: "Research published in the journal Geology suggests the flowing of ancient glaciers may have directly shaped chemical changes in the ocean that were critical for the evolution of complex organisms."

CNN · Ancient glacier finding reveals clues to how complex life on Earth evolved, scientists sayGlaciers once inched toward the sea, gouging rocks. When the ice masses melted, they infused oceans with nutrients that may have shaped how life evolved, a study found.

Even though ‘glacial’ is commonly used to describe extremely slow, steady movement, a new study has found that #glaciers speed up and slow down on a daily – even hourly – basis in response to changes in air temperature, #rainfall and the #tides

"A University of Bristol study found that 91% of Svalbard’s #glaciers have significantly shrunk since 1985, losing over 800 km².

#Svalbard is one of the fastest-warming places on Earth. The low altitude of the archipelago’s ice fields and geographical location in the high North Atlantic make it especially sensitive to climate change."

I've had the fortune of being able to travel quite a bit between my full time job and my time in grad school, and I'll often share photos from those journeys. One of the trips I took in grad school was to Argentina in January 2020 to attend a conference - leaving just as Wuhan went into lockdown.

I spent a few days at the end of that trip on an overnight backpacking trip in Patagonia to the base of Cerro Chaltén (Monte Fitz Roy). After a relatively brief, but strenuous hike, I spent most of the day overlooking an alpine lake and glaciers waiting for a break in the clouds to catch this photo.

While I don't live anywhere near mountains like this, I take full advantage of and relish my time in them when I can visit.

"Glacier" teableau for 12/30/24

I have visited glaciers that are noticeably smaller now than when I was there. My son has photographed polar bears in the wild in places where they are now less likely to be. Meanwhile, the pace at which mitigation of climate change progresses is... glacial.

Where #Glaciers Melt, the #Rivers Run Red
As glaciers of #SouthAmerica retreat, supply of #freshwater is dwindling and its quality is getting worse.
For thousands of years, the glaciers were replenished with ice in the winter. But they have shrunk by more than 40% since 1968, uncovering rocks that, when exposed to the elements, can trigger chemical reactions that leach #toxic metals into the #water and turn it acidic.

How the mournful songs of icebergs reverberate around the world

Icebergs produce some of the loudest natural noises in the oceans. Can we learn anything about their birth, life and death by listening in?

By Richard Gray

Caption figure below: Iceberg songs are generated by harmonic tremours that occur when icebergs rub against each other or scrape along the seafloor

After some time of trying mastodon, I quite like it here and will probably stay so it's maybe time for an introduction:
I'm a student in physical #oceanography in northern germany and mainly here for finding interesting research related content. Second interest is just general #opensource stuff & programming and third is politics.
For the research part I'm mostly a fan of #hydrothermalvents , #oceans , #climate , the #arctic , #antarctic , #glaciers , #seaice but also #ships and more.

Sharing some big mountain vibrations. You ever reach a view that is so beautiful you cant stop taking pictures? This was that moment for me, catching the last rays of daylight. Since it was quite cold the group I was with didn't stick around long. I have a hard time leaving these places, especially knowing how rare it'll be to ever return again. If you zoom in you can see some mighty glaciers deep within the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Grateful to be able to share such a memory.

Switzerland's alpine glaciers have lost 10% of their volume over the last two years alone, the Swiss Academy of Sciences reported, calling the sudden reduction clear evidence of the "very critical state" of the climate. The glaciers have shed as much ice in two years as they did in the 30 years between 1960 and 1990.

The rate of ice loss in 2023 was 4%, the second worst year on record after 2022, when they lost 6% of their volume.
