We’ve updated the #Birchgletscher factsheet – the 🇨🇭#glacier that collapsed on 28 May. It took just ~40s for the ice-rock avalanche to hit the valley equalling an average speed of ~200 km/h. New data on volumes & timing now included: polybox.ethz.ch/index.php/s/… #Blatten ❤️

Every 0.1°C of global warming leads to ~2% more glacier ice loss. Sticking to the #ParisAgreement ( 1.5°C) would preserve over half the ice compared to current policies ( 2.7°C). This is the result of a new study based, led by Harry Zekollari & several co-authors from our group.

How Science Is Using AI to Translate the Nonstop Chatter of the Earth

Scientists at Caltech are using AI to translate what frequent, small earthquakes can tell us about what’s happening below the Earth’s surface, and what they mean for communities in fault zones.

Even faced with the same data, ecologists sometimes come to opposite conclusions

Study highlights powerful role subjective choices can play in research, though some critics urge caution about applying findings too broadly

The "8 hours of sleep" rule is based on ZERO evidence. Ancient humans slept in two distinct phases, not one long stretch. Here's the shocking truth about how you should really be sleeping:
Community note
The AASM specify that adults 18 to 60 years should sleep 7 or more hours per night on a regular basis for optimal sleep health. The National Sleep Foundation consensus report for ages 18-64, 7-9hrs, adding for adults 65 and over 7 to 8 hrs on a regular basis. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29073398/ jcsm.aasm.org/doi/pdf/10.566…
