Jeff MunroeHere at <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/EGU25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EGU25</a> my student Alex Takoudes just gave a great talk on his undergraduate thesis applying an image segmentation algorithm in a deep learning architecture to automate the mapping of rock glaciers.

Adam SteerBeen a couple of surveys about glacier geoengineering on cryolist lately....how about we stop the current massive uncontrolled geoengineering experiment we've already been running for a century and some?We already know that action is the cheapest and best way to retain a cryosphere on planet Earth.<a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/cryosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cryosphere</a> <a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/geoengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#geoengineering</a> <a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a>

O=C=O'Cryosphere meltdown' will impact Arctic marine carbon cycles and ecosystems, new study warnsA new study led by Jochen Knies from the iC3 Polar Research Hub has found worrying signs that climate change may be undermining the capacity of <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Arctic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arctic</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/fjords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fjords</a> to serve as effective <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/carbon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carbon</a> sinks.

If you're going to do a cryosphere meeting in Australia in July at least pick a place with fewer "public funded tropical holiday" vibes 🤷BTW if you're planning for IGARSS this year to talk snow, hit me up.

O=C=OMountains and Glaciers: Water towers UN World Water Development ReportMountain waters are essential to humans and ecosystemsThe 2025 edition of the <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/UnitedNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnitedNations</a> World Water Development Report highlights the importance of <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/mountain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mountain</a> waters, including alpine <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/glaciers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glaciers</a>, which are vital for meeting basic human needs such as water supply and sanitation. They are also essential to ensuring <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#food</a> and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#energy</a> security to billions of people living in and around mountain regions and areas downstream. They also support economic growth through various water-reliant industries. As the ‘water towers’ of the world, mountains are an essential source of fresh <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#water</a>. They store water in the form of <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ice</a> and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/snow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#snow</a> during cold seasons, releasing it during warmer seasons as a major source of fresh water for users downstream. Mountains play a unique and critical role in the global <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/WaterCycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterCycle</a>, and they affect atmospheric circulation, which drives <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weather</a> and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/precipitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#precipitation</a> patterns.<a href="https://www.unesco.org/reports/wwdr/en/2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.unesco.org/reports/wwdr/en/2025</a><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Environment</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Cryosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cryosphere</a>

Planetary EcologistIce (Glaciology 🗻)Ice is water that is frozen into a solid state, typically forming at or below temperatures of 0 °C, 32 °F, or 273.15 K. It occurs naturally on Earth, on other planets, in Oort cloud objects, and as interstellar ice. As a naturally occurring crystalline inorganic solid with an ordered structure, ice is considered to be a mineral.
