Glaciers will take centuries to recover even if global warming is reversed, scientists warn
New research reveals mountain #glaciers across the globe will not recover for centuries—even if human intervention cools the planet back to the 1.5°C limit, having exceeded it.
The research, led by the University of Bristol in the #UK and the University of Innsbruck in #Austria, presents the first global simulations of glacier change up to 2,500 under so-called 'overshoot' scenarios, when the planet temporarily exceeds the 1.5°C limit up to 3°C before cooling back down.
The results, published in Nature Climate Change, show that such a scenario could result in glaciers losing up to 16% more of their mass compared to a world that never crosses the 1.5°C threshold.

🌬️ How will extreme winds change by 2050 and what does that mean for renewable energy?
🔷 At the #nextGEMS “Final Countdown” Hackathon in Stockholm, climate scientists and energy experts from Statkraft, Vestas, and Anemos teamed up to explore just that.

Researchers find elevated levels of mercury in Colorado mountain wetlands
#ClimateChange is melting #glaciers and #permafrost in the mountains outside of Boulder, #Colorado, exposing rocks and freeing up minerals containing #sulfate, a form of sulfur, to flow downstream into local #watersheds.
#CIRES researchers studied the impacts of sulfate in mountain wetlands and confirmed that elevated levels can increase #methylmercury, a potent #neurotoxin that accumulates up the food chain and can lead to a wide range of health concerns.
"Very little research has looked at methylmercury production in high-elevation wetlands," said Hannah Miller, CU Boulder and CIRES Ph.D. student and lead author of the study. "This leaves important knowledge gaps regarding how much is being produced in mountain wetlands and how this may change with ongoing climate change."

"how atmospheric rivers (ARs) influence extreme climate conditions and wildfire activity in Brazil and North America. ARs can both alleviate drought and trigger floods, while large-scale climate patterns (e.g., ENSO, SACZ, PNA and NAO) shape fire risk by intensifying heatwaves and drying soils."

🌍🏅In #ClimateScience, some names echo through time—Klaus Hasselmann is one of them. Our founding director and #Nobelprize winner was also chairman of the founding committee of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
🏛️In 2022, PIK dedicated a lecture hall to Hasselmann, where our #PhD candidate Vidur Mithal recently enjoyed a workshop on climate impact modeling. A great reminder of Hasselmann’s impact on climate science & the connectedness of the climate science community.
