This wet-sluff avalanche in Turkey yesterday shows that not all avalanches happen suddenly, or catastrophically. Quite a sight nonetheless.

Did you know that already more than 1000 glaciers have disappeared in Switzerland over the last 50 years as a consequence of human-caused climate change?
One of those is Pizolgletscher which I visited today. Always a saddening yet impressive sight...

Today marks my last day as one of the University’s Pro Vice-Chancellors. This has been a great role and I have enjoyed it immensely; full of challenges and surprises. But to be clear this is not retirement! Now it is time to get back to teaching and research!

⚠️ Check out this breathtaking photo of a proglacial lake at ~5400 m asl in trans-Himalayan Ladakh that we recently surveyed for bathymetry using robotic echosounbding boat funded under the @moesgoi sponsored project.

On the International Day of Disaster Risk Reduction, I take this opportunity to highlight one of the most critical and growing risks in the Himalaya, Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs). These instantaneous floods occur when the damming moraine of proglacial lake fails.
