Ruth_Mottram, I first met Geir Moholdt in Svalbard in 2005 when we were both PhD students at #UNIS. Now we're both at this high level meeting for the #WMO #PHORS panel, still talking about glaciers.
#SatPic behind his title slide shows #Svalbard #glaciers in summer, not much snow left, a terrible sign for a glacier, confirmed by red blobs that show thinning rates since the 1930s. Since 2011 the glaciers of Svalbard on average have lost half a metre per year!
