@cryoscope.bsky.social@cryoscope.bsky.social@cryoscope.bsky.socialCryoSCOPE coordinator Dr. Rakesh Hooda reflects on the first year of the project
@cryoscope.bsky.socialThe UNEP has warned that the world is likely to exceed the 1.5°C warming threshold within the next decade. For snow, glaciers and permafrost, every fraction of a degree matters. CryoSCOPE is exploring what a warmer world means for these frozen landscapes – and the water systems they support.
@cryoscope.bsky.socialUpdate: Scott Turnerbreen, Svalbard ❄️ From snowmelt to runoff, what happens to water as it moves through an Arctic catchment? At Scott Turnerbreen, our team is combining field observations and high-resolution modelling to follow that journey.
@cryoscope.bsky.socialIrfan Rashid from the University of Kashmir and a member of the CryoSCOPE team looks closely at the Nepal floods, and what it could tell us about emerging risks elsewhere in the Himalayas.
@cryoscope.bsky.socialEvents like this are a painful reminder of the growing risks in mountain regions, where glaciers, snow, rainfall & changing landscapes interact in complex ways.
@cryoscope.bsky.socialThe CryoSCOPE team is deeply saddened by the devastating flash floods and loss of life in Nepal. Our condolences to everyone affected, their families, and communities facing a difficult recovery.
