47 years of average annual sea ice thickness across the #Arctic... 🌊❄️🥼

Graphic now available to include 2025 at: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

Collection of small polar stereographic maps showing the average yearly Arctic sea-ice thickness for each year from 1979 to 2025. There is large spatial variability, but a long-term decreasing trend. The thickness of ice ranges from 0 meters to more than 5 meters.

“Climate breakdown probably weakened the glacier that collapsed causing catastrophic floods and killing hundreds of people in Nepal and Tibet last month, the first scientific study of the disaster has found”

Climate crisis likely behind devastating Nepal-Tibet floods that killed more than 1,300, first study finds

Scientists say global heating was a destabilising factor in collapse of 200,000 sq metre glacier in August

Climate change likely to have helped trigger Nepal glacier collapse, scientists say

Climate change is highly likely to have contributed to the catastrophic glacier collapse that flooded parts of Nepal and Tibet in late August, killing around 1,400 people and leaving thousands still missing, scientists said on Thursday.

“The ice sheets lost 11,309 ± 565 billion tonnes of ice between 1979 and 2023, with glacier dynamical imbalance driving 84% of the ice loss and surface mass balance the remainder.”
11 trillion tonnes…
If you spread that over Australia it would be 1.6m thick.
