An isolated, idyllic, and inspiring setting in the gorgeous Centennial Valley of Montana, where nothing pulls your attention from the task ahead, a motivated group of PhD students and postdocs in glaciology, and five energetic lecturers: the perfect combination for tackling the ambitious challenge of exploring the interface between glaciology and machine learning. Who wouldn’t …[Read More]
In this blog post Dr Levan Tielidze from Monash University and Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future shares insights from a new glacier assessment of Heard Island. Although rarely visited and largely unknown, Heard Island plays an outsized role in understanding how the Southern Ocean cryosphere is responding to global warming. The island is one of the …[Read More]
Only one month after starting my PhD, I found myself in a tiny plane flying over one of the most beautiful and breathtaking landscapes I’ve ever seen. I was on the way to the northernmost settlement in the world – the research village Ny-Ålesund. What I expected from the trip: cold temperatures, darkness, and lots …[Read More]
Mountain glaciers are melting rapidly due to global warming. This process is being intensified by increasingly extreme natural events, such as forest fires and air pollution from human activities. One of the main culprits is a tiny but powerful pollutant called black carbon (commonly known as soot) which darkens the surface of the snow and …[Read More]
Would you like to follow the endeavours of a small team working in the ice-marginal terrain in South-West Greenland? They set out to investigate proglacial lakes using sediment coring, water sampling and gas collections (figure 1), aiming to better understand methane dynamics, proglacial terrain development and the environmental drivers behind methane production in glacially influenced lake …[Read More]
![Aerial image showing the climate change impact on small glaciers in the central Greater Caucasus, Georgia. Slopes are extensive deposits of moraines and loose rock debris, left behind by retreating glaciers. A small glacial lake (near the center-bottom of the image) fed by meltwater from the surrounding ice and snow was developed after glacier retreat [Credit: Levan Tielidze].](https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2025/06/Fig0-1024x768.webp)
In this week’s blog, Levan Tielidze tells us about his recent glacier study from the Greater Caucasus. By combining geomorphology, remote sensing, and historical cartography, the team reconstructed nearly 200 years of glacier and climate change across one of the world’s most dynamic cryospheric frontiers. Glaciers’ transformation provides a high-resolution archive of post-Little Ice Age …[Read More]
In this week’s blog, Levan Tielidze tells us about his participation in a scientific expedition to Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, during the 2024–2025 field season. The journey, commencing in Australia and passing through South Africa, led him to the “surreal” and “awe-inspiring” Antarctic landscape. The team, a collaborative effort from Monash University, and the University …[Read More]
Are you attending this year’s EGU General Assembly virtual or in person? No matter the way you attend or if it’s your first time or you are coming to Vienna for the GA for years, today we share with you some cryosphere programme highlights and general tips on how to make the most out of …[Read More]
I’m Himanshu Kaushik, a PhD student working under the guidance of Dr. Mohd Farooq Azam at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore (India). Seven years ago, I took my first steps onto the Chhota Shigri Glacier (CSG) in the Indian (Western) Himalaya, and it felt like stepping into another world. Surrounded by the towering peaks, …[Read More]
