Jan Beutel was half-watching a live stream of Kleines Nesthorn a mountain peak in the Swiss Alps when he realized its cacophony of creaks and rumbles was getting louder. He dropped his work turned up the sound and found himself unable to look away. кракен ссылка “The whole screen exploded” he said. Beutel a computer engineer specializing in mountain monitoring had just witnessed a glacier collapse. On May 28 an avalanche of millions of tons of ice and rock barreled down the slope burying Blatten a centuries-old village nestled in the valley below. Local authorities had already evacuated the village after parts of the mountain had crumbled onto the glacier; a 64-year old man believed to have stayed remains missing. But no one expected an event of this magnitude. Successive rock avalanches onto the glacier increased the pressure on the ice causing it to melt faster and the glacier to accelerate eventually destabilizing it and pushing it from its bed. The collapse was sudden violent and catastrophic. “This one just left no moment to catch a breath” Beutel said. The underlying causes will take time to unravel. A collapse of this magnitude would have been set in motion by geological factors going back decades at least said Matthias Huss a glaciologist at the Swiss university ETH Zurich. But it’s “likely climate change is involved” he said as warming temperatures melt the ice that holds mountains together. It’s a problem affecting mountains across the planet. People have long been fascinated with mountains for their dramatic beauty. Some make their homes beneath them — around 1 billion live in mountain communities — others are drawn by adventure the challenge of conquering peaks. These majestic landscapes have always been dangerous but as the world warms they are becoming much more unpredictable and much deadlier. “We do not fully understand the hazard at the moment nor how the dangers are changing with climate change” said David Petley an Earth scientist at the University of Hull in England.

Scientists mapped what happens if a crucial system of ocean currents collapses. The weather impact would be extreme aviator pin up The collapse of a crucial network of Atlantic Ocean currents could push parts of the world into a deep freeze with winter temperatures plunging to around minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit in some cities bringing “profound climate and societal impacts” according to a new study. There is increasing concern about the future of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation — known as the AMOC — a system of currents that works like a giant conveyor belt pulling warm water from the Southern Hemisphere and tropics to the Northern Hemisphere where it cools sinks and flows back south. Multiple studies suggest the AMOC is weakening with some projecting it could even collapse this century as global warming disrupts the balance of heat and salinity that keeps it moving. This would usher in huge global weather and climate shifts — including plunging temperatures in Europe which relies on the AMOC for its mild climate. What’s less clear however is how these impacts will unfold in a world heated up by humans burning fossil fuels. “What if the AMOC collapses and we have climate change? Does the cooling win or does the warming win?” asked Rene van Westen a marine and atmospheric researcher at Utrecht University in the Netherlands and co-author of the paper published Wednesday in the Geophysical Research Letters journal. This new study is the first to use a modern complex climate model to answer the question he told CNN. The researchers looked at a scenario where the AMOC weakens by 80 and the Earth is around 2 degrees Celsius warmer than the period before humans began burning large amounts of fossil fuels. The planet is currently at 1.2 degrees of warming. They focused on what would happen as the climate stabilized post-collapse multiple decades into the future. Even in this hotter world they found “substantial cooling” over Europe with sharp drops in average winter temperatures and more intense cold extremes — a very different picture than the United States where the study found temperatures would continue to increase even with an AMOC collapse. Sea ice would spread southward as far as Scandinavia parts of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands the research found. This would have a huge impact on cold extremes as the white surface of the ice reflects the sun’s energy back into space amplifying cooling. The scientists have created an interactive map to visualize the impacts of an AMOC collapse across the globe.

NASA scientists are in a state of anxious limbo after the Trump administration proposed a budget that would eliminate one of the United States’ top climate labs – the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies or GISS – as a standalone entity. kra34 cc In its place it would move some of the lab’s functions into a broader environmental modeling effort across the agency. Career specialists are now working remotely awaiting details and even more unsure about their future at the lab after they were kicked out of their longtime home in New York City last week. Closing the lab for good could jeopardize its value and the country’s leadership role in global climate science sources say. “It’s an absolute shtshow” one GISS scientist said under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. “Morale at GISS has never been lower and it feels for all of us that we are being abandoned by NASA leadership.” “We are supposedly going to be integrated into this new virtual NASA modeling institute but we have no idea what that will actually look like” they said. NASA is defending its budget proposal with a nod toward the lab’s future. “NASA’s GISS has a significant place in the history of space science and its work is critical for the Earth Science Division particularly as the division looks to the future of its modeling work and capabilities” NASA spokesperson Cheryl Warner said in a statement. “Fundamental contributions in research and applications from GISS directly impact daily life by showing the Earth system connections that impact the air we breathe our health the food we grow and the cities we live in” Warner said. GISS has a storied history in climate science on the global scale. James Hansen a former director first called national attention to human-caused global warming at a Senate hearing during the hot summer of 1988. The lab founded in 1961 is still known worldwide for its computer modeling of the planet that enable scientists to make projections for how climate change may affect global temperatures precipitation extreme weather events and other variables.
