Welcome with your application!
#Bollstanäs and #Grimsta school teachers #UpplandsVäsby did #experiantiallearning at #TarfalaResearchStation @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social to take insights to their students age 10-12. #AblationStakes drilled at #Storglaciären to follow ice melt during the season. Welcome back!
#TarfalaResearchStation @stockholm-uni.bsky.social is now open for the season an operations are up and running, starting with maintenance of our Automated Weather Stations on #Storglaciären and the wider #Tarfala area. Very little snow on Storglaciären right now, we hope for some more to come.
New collaborative paper out, with results on lake-terminating Kaskasapakte Glacier in the surroundings of #TarfalaResearchStation @bolincentre.bsky.social @stockholm-uni.bsky.social, looking at its retreat dynamics through the lense of increasing lake temperatures. tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/...
Day 2 of #TarfalaResearchStation s 80years Anniversary at @stockholm-uni.bsky.social in collaboration with the @bolincentre.bsky.social . Brilliant talks by excellent speakers, whose comments on the future of glaciers were caught be SVT#Sapmi www.svt.se/nyheter/sapm... www.svt.se/nyheter/vide...
July was warm. Here are #warmingstripes @edhawkins.org showing average july temperature at #TarfalaResearchStation @stockholmuni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social. One definition of the Arctic is that July temps stay below 10 C - according to this, we are not in the Arctic...But we are...
And sound artist #PabloDiserens is doing great stuff too for the IYP www.un-glaciers.org/en/art, we are very lucky to have the #FlowerOfGlacier film team at #TarfalaresearchStation @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social - last day of their stay today, will be intense but sooo worth 👍
Last out with the #GlacierStripes @edhawkins.org is Rivgojiehkki which had no net annual accumulation left in 2023/2024, and also the largest losses since measurements started. From #TarfalaResearchStation @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social we continue to survey and communicate!
Next is Rabots Glaciers #TarfalaResearchStation @stockholm-uni.bsky.social #WorldGlacierMonitoringService wgms.ch bolin.su.se/data/tarfala-rabot-surface-mass-balance-1 Annual surface mass balance 2023/24 was negative across the entire glacier. Lets hope for a better glacier #IYGP year 2024/25.
Honoured and proud to be interviewed by Sofia Stenlund from the UN Regional Information Centre in Western Europe @unep.org on the topic of glaciers, just before heading to #TarfalaResearchStation @essingeper.bsky.social for the springwinter season. Here in english:
