To map the effects of climate change, mountain hydrologist Walter Immerzeel (@mountainhydrology.bsky.social) and his team venture to remote altitudes where other scientists do not go.

Follow one of his extreme missions in the 15-minute short film #MovingMountains 👉 shorturl.at/9nqmC

Philip @kraaijenbrink.bsky.social pioneered using drones on understanding debris covered Himalayan glaciers. Now a final paper is published that summarizes 5 years of drone surveys in the Langtang valley in Nepal! @mountainhydrology.bsky.social

Spatial and Temporal Variability of the Surface Mass Balance of Debris‐Covered Glacier Tongues
Surface mass loss has high spatial heterogeneity, particularly near ice cliffs, but it is reduced at multi-annual time scale Although the overall effect is amplification, ice cliffs can both enha...

A week of icy fun in Northern Sweden: ice skating, sledge dogs, winter BBQ and not reading the world news: very refreshing!

Protesting against the planned humongous budget cuts for science and education by our new government. Something is moving 👏

Fresh start at @bsky.app after fieldwork in the Himalaya. Wonderful time with @josephshea.bsky.social and @kraaijenbrink.bsky.social. Snow, rain, evapotranspiration and soil moisture at high altitude, and another sad year for the glaciers is the short summary.

Back in Kathmandu after 16 days of #fieldwork in Langtang Valley, #Nepal: 152 kms walked; 12,000m total elevation gain; countless rounds of Yahtzee and Uno, and healthy doses of mountain hydrology science, camaraderie, and fresh air. @immerzeel.bsky.social @kraaijenbrink.bsky.social
