General meeting at IGS yesterday. After annual meeting agenda we got a presentation on the EISI Extreme Ice Survey Iceland)project by Kieran Baxter. EISI is a follow up project to the global effort by @extremeice to monitor changes of Icelandic glaciers.
How will the world’s mountain glaciers and ice caps respond to +1.5, 2, 3, and 4°C of global warming? Learn more from our new @ScienceMagazine study http://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abo1324 🧵… #ScienceResearch

Some days the whole of Vatnajökull glacier is captured completely cloud free by a satellite. Today was one of those days #sentinel2
A new @Nature study led by Georg Veh @unipotsdam and co-authored by our group reveals the decrease in magnitude of very large (top 10%) #glacier lake outburst #floods 🏔️ 🌊 from ice-dammed lakes since 1900: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05642-9 (1/6)
We just launched an English version of our glacier map site https://icelandicglaciers.is
For all you #gischat and #glacier people, let’s run through the main features and my favorites
🧵 1/8
Glacier surface topography is most visible during low solar angle acquisitions from satellites. Yesterday’s #sentinel2 image shows all three main calderas in Vatnajökull glacier very well, including all the associated cauldrons.
