Peak glacier extinction in the mid-twenty-first century - Nature Climate Change Many mountain glaciers will disappear with warming. Here the authors assess how many glaciers will disappear per year under different warming scenarios, finding that a peak in glacier loss will happen...

Still some small action in the area
Lots of sea ice appearing
But some nice cracks appeared in the sea ice near the tongue
War

Big congrats to Anna for defending her PhD on surface mass balance using EO data 👏🎓✨

And of course, the celebration included a proper cake with P H D spelled out on top 🎂

Earth being ‘pushed beyond its limits’ as energy imbalance reaches record high State of the Climate report finds Earth’s energy has moved dangerously out of balance, with oceans absorbing vast majority of trapped heat
