Parking place for my climatology posts
I find myself frequently copying & pasting the same basic climatology links, so I'm preparing a parking lot here where I can have a bunch of them available. Nothing much to see here right now, sorry!

Are glaciers shrinking? What does the photographic evidence say?

Using largely untapped satellite archives, we chart surface elevation changes at a high spatiotemporal resolution over all of Earth’s glaciers. We extensively validate our estimates against independent, high-precision measurements and present a globally complete and consistent estimate of glacier mass change. We show that during 2000–2019, glaciers lost a mass of 267 ± 16 gigatonnes per year, equivalent to 21 ± 3 per cent of the observed sea-level rise6. We identify a mass loss acceleration of 48 ± 16 gigatonnes per year per decade, explaining 6 to 19 per cent of the observed acceleration of sea-level rise.
