Excellent article sur la fonte des #glaciers dans les #Alpes. Les conséquences du #réchauffement climatique sont désormais bien visibles et entraînent des modifications importantes de l'#environnement et de la vie des populations y vivant du tourisme. francetvinfo.fr/monde/environn…
Ça ne va évidemment pas mieux au niveau mondial et il suffit de regarder ce qui se passe aux pôles ou au Niveau des glaciers les plus importants pour s'en convaincre.

The IPCC Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability was released today. I'm going to go through the executive summary and post some "highlights". #IPCC #IPCCReport

report.ipcc.ch/ar6wg2/pdf/IPC… 2/
- #Dengue risk will increase with longer seasons and a wider geographic distribution in #Asia, #Europe, Central and South America and sub-Saharan #Africa, potentially putting additional billions of people at risk by the end of the century
- A billion people projected to be at risk from coastal-specific climate hazards in the mid-term under all scenarios, including in Small Islands. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency

In a new study @NatureClimate, we model the distribution, importance, and past and future changes of #snow across all major river basins in #HighMountainAsia (HMA). @UUGeo @UtrechtUni @immerzeel 🧵[1/n]
We find that #snowmelt exceeds #glacier melt in all basins, with volumes mostly three to five times as large, even in the most glacierized basins. Climate change induced changes to HMA snowpacks may therefore have stronger impacts on the water balance glacier than retreat. [2/n]
Over the past 40 years there have been significant reductions of the snowpacks in several of HMA’s river basins, such as Syr Darya, Indus and Brahmaputra. This has resulted in shifts in timing of the snowmelt seasons and attenuations of snowmelt discharge peaks. [3/n]

#Greenland’s Melting Glaciers Are Releasing Shocking Amounts of #Mercury in the Nation’s Rivers

If you thought melting ice sheets only raised environmental red flags in terms of #GlobalWarming and rising sea levels, you are in for an unfortunate surprise.

#Greenland #glacier #Mercury
In a recent discovery, scientists have found a melting ice sheet in the southwestern region of #Greenland that is releasing huge amounts of mercury into the nearby rivers and fjords (narrow, deep inlets created by glaciers).

edu.oggm.org is an #interactive platform to #learn and #teach about #glaciers. We started OGGM-Edu as the "educational branch" of OGGM, but nowadays we see the project as largely independent and useful on its own. Why do we hope that it can be useful to you? 1/n
OGGM-Edu offers "hands-on" and practical activities, but only very little textbook content: we see the platform as an interactive complement to existing (and awesome) resources such as antarcticglaciers.org (@AntarcticGlacie) 2/n Image
Therefore, OGGM-Edu does not attempt to be a "one stop shop" for all things related to glaciers: our target groups are #instructors and independent learners. For example, OGGM-Edu was used by @LizzUltee to teach a week-long workshop in Peru with @CdeCPeru. 3/n Image

Here's a compilation of some timelapse animations that show different stories from across India over the 3 decades (1989 - 2018) . Created with @googleearth @EarthOutreach #newyear2020

1: Restless #Brahmaputra n tributaries meandering,changing course in #Assam
2. Growth of Brick Kiln industry in the banks of #Hooghly, #Rupnarayan rivers near #Kolkata (brown polygons close to the rivers' banks) #WestBengal
3. Embankment failure in #Kosi River (2008) caused flooding. It also left a sediment footprint that was visible from satellites. #Bihar

The user can configure SQS, which will decouple the call between the EC2 application and S3. Thus, the application does not keep waiting for S3 to provide the data.
1/n
Auto Scaling enables you to follow the demand curve for your applications closely, reducing the need to manually provision Amazon EC2 capacity in advance.
