New publication! Moritz Koch on region wide glacier surge detection based on Sentinel-1 surface velocity data. We performed time series and cluster analyses to detect the onset and duration of active surge phases of all glaciers on Svalbard from 2015-2021 mdpi.com/2189236

New publication! #Cloud properties modelled by PWRF at the 79N glacier for a summer event in 2019. Although the peak melt was mainly due to a blocking anticyclone and foehn winds, thin high clouds before/after the event prolonged the melt. More info here: rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.co…

Raying glaciers in Patagonia! In spring this year, a FAU team of bold radar experts did attempt to unravel the basal topography of two majestic glaciers in Patagonia : Perito Moreno & Viedma.

Gletscherschwund hautnah. Treten Sie ein und sehen Sie selbst. Zugang in den Gletscher nur ohne Raumangst. Glacier retreat up close. Step inside and see for yourself. Access into the glacier only without claustrophobia. ~exhibition in Fürth, Germany // 22.&23.10

In the field on Kanderfirn (CH) Impressions from our glacier activities in the ‘Glacier system & Natural Hazard’ group. Splendid breakfast on ice ... Did someone see the drone?

Had my first poster session yesterday; it was really amazing to meet so many interesting like minded scientists and I learned quite a bit in a short period of time. #LPS22

Academic hangover. Suffering so much from sleep deprivation due to deadlines you feel like sobering up everyday.
mood: programming an RGB christmas tree in my python console

Here is another version of that no CO2 visualization with month-by-month frames to show seasonality. That means it's a lot longer (since you asked @RARohde )

Pretty much sums it up.
What would the earth look like without CO2? It’s only one of the gases that trap heat, making life possible on earth: but it’s an important one! Want more cool science like this? Subscribe to the list of scientists who do climate: teapaw.org/khayhoe/lists/scientis…
Some time ago I ran a simulation of a CO2-free atmosphere for a magazine, but the article never developed.

We climate scientists are very familiar with this. As Isaac Asimov said, anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political + cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge’ 😬
This is the entire radical right-wing playbook now. Insult experts as arrogant and try to peddle uninformed opinion as equal to legitimate expertise.
