Nice view of Canmore today: Cougar Creek (centre of the photo), which drains out these snowy mountains, is one of the stops on our upcoming @unbcgeographyensc.bsky.social field school, where we will meet with a town engineer to talk about geohazards and mitigation.

Global glacier mass change in 2025 - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment Glaciers lost 408 ± 132 Gt of mass during the hydrological year 2025, equivalent to 1.1 ± 0.4 mm sea-level rise. Since 1975, glacier mass loss has totalled 9,583 ± 1,211 Gt, equivalent to 26.4 ± 3.3 m...

Glaciers had one of their worst years in 2025:

👉 408 billion tonnes of ice mass lost
👉 ≈1.1 mm added to global sea levels
👉 6 of the 7 worst years have happened in the past 7 yrs

Since 1975: ~9,600 billion tonnes gone (≈26.4 mm SLR)

This isn’t a gradual change...

Yikes, this is terrible. Read the room!

As Artemis II returns back to Earth, I keep sneaking little peeks at the NASA feed to watch our planet getting bigger in the window. Hard to imagine how those astronauts feel.

@ Vancouver folks! Go if you can!

It’s snowing here in Prince George - again - but there is an auspicious gathering of American Robins on my lawn.

The juxtaposition of the Artemis 2 earthrise image with the genocidal ravings of the lunatic US president is very very heavy

Their water usage estimates are also disingenuous - the Smoky River is highly seasonal with low flows in winter: if their water usage is near-constant, the percentage of water they take from the river in winter could be really high.

So so good

They loathe science.

There are people in my life who’ve come out as trans, and I think it’s really important to acknowledge them, and to remember that TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

It’s Trans Day of Visibility, and by happy coincidence I am currently reading The Cure For Drowning by Loghan Paylor, which will be a serious contender in the upcoming Canada Reads competition (championed by Tegan Quinn of @teganandsara.com). 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️
