The collapse of a glacier on the border between Nepal and China has caused a devastating flood that has left hundreds dead, and whose mechanism, which could include melting and the instability of permafrost, is still being investigated by scientists worldwide. (translated)
The popular Swiss mountain village of Kandersteg is threatened by a possible natural disaster due to the instability of the Spitze Stei, a massive rock face that is losing cohesion due to global warming and the melting of permafrost, which could lead to a devastating collapse of 15 to 20 million cubic meters of rock.

Loris, trapped by a rockfall on Mont Blanc, recounts a boulder the size of a car flying away, highlighting the increase in landslides due to climate warming and the melting of permafrost, which led the mayor of Saint-Gervais to close the shelters to prevent accidents. (translated)
Climate change is causing the thawing of permafrost on Mont Blanc, increasing the risk of landslides, which led the mayor of Saint-Gervais to close the area’s shelters to ensure the safety of hikers. (translated)
The mayor of Saint-Gervais has decided to close the Mont-Blanc shelters due to the increase in landslides caused by climate change and the melting of permafrost, emphasizing that it takes a lot of time to convince people to give up their mountain plans. (translated)
In Siberia, more and more methane gas is leaking from the permafrost as a result of global warming, which has doubled the summer methane emissions between 2010 and 2023, but the measurements have been hampered by limited research activities and geopolitical changes. (translated)
The current conditions in the Alps are concerning due to little snow, a mild spring, and prolonged heatwaves, which pose significant dangers to climbers and hikers from black ice, unstable glaciers, and potential rockfalls from melting permafrost. (translated)
Even in the northernmost large city in the world, there are temperature records over 30 degrees. The permafrost is thawing – and is therefore being artificially cooled under important buildings in Norilsk. "Adaptation" in the most extreme way – I have researched this: https://t.co/td52VXDOIb (translated)
Permafrost is also destroying Kazakhstan's roads and railways, pipelines, and other energy infrastructure (similar situation in Russia, Mongolia, Tibet...). (translated)
The Alps are literally changing before our eyes and are becoming more dangerous. Why? Because global warming is reaching even high altitudes, destabilizing permafrost and ice. And this leads to rock walls collapsing much more often than we were used to. So be careful there. (translated)
Un fenomen alarmant a fost observat în nordul Alaskăi, unde sute de râuri au devenit portocalii din cauza dezghețării permafrostului, eliberând metale toxice și afectând ecosistemele acvatice, ceea ce reprezintă un pericol pentru pești și comunitățile locale. #zăpadă #permafrost #schimbări_climatice
Un imponente crollo di rocce ha colpito il versante francese del Monte Bianco, documentato dall'alpinista Christophe Dumarest, causato dal caldo estremo che provoca lo scioglimento del permafrost e favorisce tali eventi. #MonteBianco #crollo #climatechange
Krater Batagajka w północnej Jakucji, znany jako „wrota do piekieł”, nieustannie się powiększa z powodu szybkiego topnienia wieloletniej zmarzliny, co stanowi poważne ostrzeżenie przed skutkami zmian klimatu. #kraterBatagajka #zmianyKlimatyczne #permafrost
En ny studie från Umeå universitet och East China Normal University visar att vittring av berg kan motverka koldioxidutsläpp från floder när permafrosten tinar, vilket tyder på en komplex interaktion mellan biologiska och geologiska kolcykler. #permafrost #koldioxid #vittring
Given that most models underestimate the severity of extreme heatwaves (main drivers of carbon release), I suggest that even this new (great) study might underestimate the real pulse of carbon from warming permafrost. #ClimateChange #ExtremeHeat #Permafrost #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
Tyvärr har vi bara lämningar från djur som dog på sommaren, för de som dog under vintern blev ju inte infrusna i permafrosten.
A recent study published in Science reveals that a massive landslide in Tracy Arm, Alaska, triggered the second largest landslide-generated tsunami on record, highlighting the urgent risks of climate change on geological stability as glaciers retreat and permafrost thaws, potentially increasing the frequency of such catastrophic events. #Landslide #ClimateChange #Tsunami #US #CA #CH
A massive landslide in Alaska's Tracy Arm on August 10 last year generated a tsunami and highlighted concerns over increasing geologic hazards related to climate change, as glaciers retreat and permafrost thaws, posing risks to nearby infrastructure and tourism. #Landslides #ClimateChange #NaturalDisasters #US #CA #CH
A recent study examined the aftermath of a massive landslide in Tracy Arm, Alaska, that triggered the second largest landslide-generated tsunami on record, highlighting the increasing risk of such catastrophic events linked to climate change as glaciers retreat and permafrost thaws, raising concerns about the safety of infrastructure and tourism in vulnerable regions. #Landslide #ClimateChange #Tsunami #US #CA #CH
Tající arktický permafrost, který dosud uzamykal obrovské množství uhlíku, se stává potenciálním urychlovačem klimatické změny, neboť při tání uvolňuje skleníkové plyny mnohem rychleji, což může výrazně ovlivnit globální oteplování a vyvolat nebezpečné zpětné vazby v klimatu. #Permafrost #KlimatickáZměna #GlobálníOteplení
