Glacier mass balance for the next decade? 🏔️
Using CMIP6 decadal re-forecasts + OGGM, we show skill beyond persistence & past GCM runs.
Led by Larissa van der Laan with Anouk Vlug, Adam Scaife, Fabien Maussion & me.

Time to share the updated version of my attempt to list open-source Python packages for hydrology: github.com/raoulcollent... . I automated checking the quality and updates of packages. Quick take-away: many usefull packages available, but long-term maintenance is challenging.

📰📢 Paper alert ❄️🏔️ Transferring scenario-neutral approaches to glaciology helps to show glacier mass balance response to temperature and precipitation perturbation. Nice visualization and seasonal outlook tool.

Congrats to Larissa van der Laan!

Can geotextile white blankets stop global glacier mass loss? No, says #VAW member Matthias Huss in "Nature Water". The issue is scalability. The real solution lies in reducing greenhouse gas emissions globally to save our glaciers. 🌍
