In this week’s Roundup read about how melting glaciers are shifting a border in Europe, how a glacial runoff study in Peru opened a door for research, and what the sounds glaciers make can show us about their health.

In this week’s Roundup, read about the uniform retreat of recently advancing Norwegian glaciers, the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation’s restated priorities, and how Antarctic meltwater is influencing phytoplankton, the base of marine food webs.

In this week’s Roundup, we check in on glacier regions battling the coronavirus: a stirring journal entry from an editor of a media outlet in the Italian Alps, a series of tweets from Ecuador show the difficulty of aid distribution and burial of the dead, and in Pakistan glacier communities are praised for their social distancing while testing is disproportionate across the nation.

In this week’s Roundup, we check in on glacier regions battling the coronavirus: a five month-old girl in Pakistan beats the disease, unconventional ‘stay home’ order enforcement tactics in Nepal, aid provided by Indigenous communities in Ecuador, how an aprés-ski town in Italy fueled the spread in Europe, anecdotes from the Italian Alps, and a new food fund in Washington State.

In this week’s Roundup we updated coverage of glacier regions affected by COVID-19, noted the mutually opposed status of US national parks, highlighted the closure of mines in the Peruvian Andes, and reported on the impact to 2020 cryosphere field research.

For this week’s Roundup we compiled the glacier regions affected by the novel coronavirus––including the Alps, Pyrenees, Caucasus, Karakoram, Himalaya, Greenland, and Cascades––where the dislocation of remote glacier communities cuts both ways. Expeditions to Mount Everest have been suspended.

In this week’s Roundup, cryoseismologists say Thwaites Glacier’s retreat has it so close to the grounding like that it causes earthquakes when it calves, a catastrophic glacier collapse on a popular trekking route in Peru, and a study classifying Alaskan coastal streamflow patterns.

In this week’s Roundup, read about a new study advancing understanding of glacier surges, research spanning nearly 30 years of debris cover change on Caucasus region glaciers, and how mining is poised to take advantage of glacier retreat in Greenland.

In this week’s Roundup, the first glacier state to caucus in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary votes for Bernie Sanders, a congressional hearing focuses on the cryosphere, and unmanned aerial vehicles prove effective at ice flow monitoring.

In this week’s Roundup, don’t miss the Climate Confession by planetary scientist Jeff Kargel, a tragic avalanche on a glaciated mountain in Turkey, and Prince William and Duchess Catherine’s prestigious new environment award; The Earthshot Prize.
