Melting over 80.6% of the area of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This is the highest value in our data set, which starts in 1981.

@polarportal.bsky.social
Screenshot from polarportal.dk, a website that makes research on the Arctic research conducted by Danish institutions available to the public and researchers. The image shows Greenland in tan and the Greenland Ice Sheet in red and white. The red part indicates melting and covers all except about 20% in the northeast, which is roughly the area higher than 2500 m above Se level. Below the map is a chart that compares 2025 melting to the 1981-2010 average. The average melting peaks in mid-July at about 35%. For the last few days, melting has occurred over roughly 80% of the area of Greenland, with a maximum melt area of 80.6% on 24 July 2025. This is the highest value in our dataset, which starts in 1981.

Come join the Interface geochemistry team @gfz.bsky.social

We play with minerals, microbes and microscopes and study earth surface processes at interfaces between them- and we have fun 😀

IAVCEI cancel one of their meetings due to the ongoing situation in the US 🌋
AVCEI In agreement with the Cities and Volcanoes Commission and the IAVCEI Executive Committee, the Local Organizing Committee for the 13th Cities on Volcanoes (COV13) conference, originally planned for July 2026 in Bend, Oregon (U.S.A.), has made the difficult decision to postpone the event to a future date. Recent developments have created uncertainty around our ability to confidently and effectively host the conference in 2026 and to welcome attendees without concern. This decision follows many months of collaboration with more than 70 local, regional, and international partners to shape an engaging and meaningful program. We recognize this news will be disappointing, but we believe it is the most responsible choice under the current circumstances, grounded in care for our colleagues and partners. With continued support from the Cities and Volcanoes Commission and IAVCEl, we are already exploring the possibility of hosting COV in Bend in 2030 or 2032, and we remain hopeful for opportunities to gather in the future.

One of the leading publications in the art world, @theartnewspaper.bsky.social, is running a feature on the work of Michael Najjar, an artist who accompanied our @lianegbenning.bsky.social & her team to Greenland. His work is so impressive! See for yourself 👇
