Just anti-aging stuff in this case I think! But given how glaciers and melting and falling apart these days I'm not sure it's a good analogy for skincare 🤣

"Age at the speed of a glacier"... how can the name of an entire field of science have been trademarked by a skincare brand?!

Lots more to come over the Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences (2025-2034) www.un-cryosphere.org/en and I hope to see real progress in climate policy over the next 10 years. It was great to see old friends and make new contacts, and the views from the UNESCO HQ weren't bad either!🗼(2/2)

Really enjoyed contributing to this week's UNESCO World Day for Glaciers activities in Paris. ❄️ My colleagues and I hosted a side event on "Cryosphere in Crisis: Pathways for a Safe and Just Future" and introduced our new @iacscryo.bsky.social working group on Cryosphere Stewardship. 🌎💧🫶 (1/2)
