Climate’s firm grip on glacier ablation in the Cordillera Darwin Icefield, Tierra del Fuego
The Cordillera Darwin Icefield (CDI) in Tierra del Fuego is one of the largest temperate ice bodies in the Southern Hemisphere. In this study, we simulate the climatic energy and mass balance of its glaciers (2000–2023), which are sensitive indicators of climatic changes in the Southern Hemisphere’s higher mid-latitudes. Year-round westerly winds cause strong climatic […]

Winter Fieldwork Hintereisferner 2025
During regular office days, a glacier often feels very far away. Fieldwork is always exciting because it provides a clearer understanding of what we are actually researching. From April 1st until April 4th 2025, Céline Walker (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, M3OCCA-affiliated), Felix Pfluger (Technische Universität München (TUM), M3OCCA) and Léa Rodari (Université Lausanne (UNIL)) were in the […]

Glaciers are melting rapidly – new ESA study demonstrates dramatic developments
The glaciers in the world’s high mountain regions are important freshwater reservoirs, providing resources for drinking water, irrigation and hydropower. However, as a result of climate change, they are melting dramatically and causing sea levels to rise. This has been confirmed by a new international study, in which three researchers from the Institute of Geography […]

Our doctoral candidates present their research in short videos
Our doctoral candidates participated in an activity to make their research better accessible to the broad public. Many of them therefore created short videos where they briefly present themselves and their work. Check it out here: (the webcam video shown in Manuels video is taken from www.foto-webcam.eu)

New Publication out now revealing how interactions of glacier, permafrost, and hydrogeology trigger massive rock slope failures situated in the cryosphere
Do you wonder what mechanism caused the massive rock avalanche at Piz Scerscen (Bernina, CH) in spring 2024 (link to DAV-report)? Read the paper: >here<. Felix Pfluger (TUM, funded by M³OCCA) and colleagues investigated glacier changes, conducted fieldwork on permafrost at 3200 m asl, rock mechanical laboratory studies (Joseph Steinhauser as part of his Bachelor […]
