“We can see that the ice shelves are weakening,” Millan said, “and that’s new key information that we didn’t know, because we thought that this part of Greenland was really stable.”

Arctic 21: Current State of Sea Ice Cover
"Last month, Antarctica's maximum sea ice extent hit a record-breaking low. At the same time,, the #Arctic experienced its sixth lowest minimum of #SeaIce since satellite records began in 1979. Scientists raise concern that the effects of #ClimateChange are now threatening sea ice in both poles; #Antarctica might not be as invulnerable as previously thought." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWswYja1Q6Y

Some glacial rivers are turning toxic. Here’s why.
Rory Burford: "When you think of climate change and glaciers, you probably think of melting. But in the Peruvian Andes, that's only half the problem. My PhD project looks at why the rivers are turning acidic and filling up with toxic heavy metals." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfhMKWswnvI#Peru#Andes#Glaciers#Cryosphere#ClimateChange
