Walter Immerzeel

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.

The Complex Evolution of Debris-Covered Glacier Surfaces - Eos A first look at how the surfaces of debris-covered glaciers evolve over time from six years of drone surveys in the Nepal Himalaya.

Nice highlight on EOS about the recent paper by @mountainhydrology.bsky.social and me on the surface changes of debris-covered glaciers, revealed through five years of drone surveys: eos.org/editor-highl...

Fancy animations and all of our high-resolution drone data at doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

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...

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

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

#IMC25 - FS 3.115: Drought in mountain regions

🚨 Abstract submissions for our IMC session on "Drought in mountain regions" are due Thursday (20 Feb)! 🏔️💦❄️🔆Join us to explore case studies of drought impacts in various mountain ranges, investigate up-downstream connections and drought propagation processes and more: imc2025.info/imc25/sessio...

Welcome to Bluesky @leonduurkoop.bsky.social! In his PhD research, Leon is investigating feedbacks between #mountain #greening and #hydrology in the beautiful Meretschi catchment in the Swiss Alps. #traits #ecohydrology

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
