Climate change in mountains threatens water in the lowlands.
Shrinking glaciers and decreasing snow cover are altering the water balance far beyond mountainous regions.

[1/2] We’ve released a new version of the factsheet on #Birchgletscher -- the Swiss glacier that catastrophically collapsed on 28 May 2025 following heavy debris loading from Kleines Nesthorn -- and some first field impressions that we were able to collect yesterday

Birch Glacier and Blatten Landslide - AntarcticGlaciers.org The collapse of Birch Glacier and the devastating landslide that impacted the Swiss village of Blatten occurred as a result of supraglacial landslides.

Was the Birch Glacier #Blatten landslide due to climate change? Some thoughts here: www.antarcticglaciers.org/2025/05/birc...

Here is a factsheet on what is currently known about Birchgletscher, the Swiss glacier that catastrophically collapsed on 28 May 2025, following heavy debris loading from Kleines Nesthorn.
Our thoughts are with all those most deeply affected.

This is figure 1, which shows the lowest global warming level that would push current crop production into considerable risk.

A study in Nature Food assesses the future climatic suitability of global croplands for 30 major food crop types, quantifying the changes in potential food crop diversity given climate conditions across four global warming levels. https://go.nature.com/3Dp5LEk #foodstudies 🧪

Climate change threatens crop diversity at low latitudes - Nature Food The impacts of shifting climate suitability on current crop production, particularly how this might change food crop diversity, remain understudied. This study assesses the future climatic suitability...

🌾 Climate Change Is Shrinking Crop Diversity

A new study finds that 52–56% of global cropland will lose crop diversity as climate change pushes food production away from low latitudes.
