About Ice & Earth — Ice & Earth

❄️ Our Mission

Ice & Earth explores the science of how ice and climate interact — from ice sheet tipping points to glacial outburst floods, from ocean warming to the communities facing existential threats from glacier loss. We draw on data from NASA, ESA, IPCC, and leading cryosphere research institutions.

"Ice is not just frozen water. It is a mirror of climate history, a regulator of climate future, and a lifeline for billions of people."

📖 What We Cover

Ice Sheet Collapse: Tipping points and feedback mechanisms in Greenland and Antarctica.
Glacial Floods: The growing hazard of glacial lake outburst floods.
Ocean Warming: How warm oceans are melting ice from below.
Mountain Glaciers: Regional glacier retreat from the Alps to the Himalayas.
Climate Feedbacks: The self-reinforcing loops that accelerate ice loss.
Communities: The human dimensions of glacier retreat and water security.
Future Projections: What climate models project for ice through 2100.

👨‍🔬 Our Team

Ice & Earth is led by Dr. Thomas Eriksen, Climate Systems Scientist with a PhD from the University of Bergen. Our editorial team specialises in cryosphere science, climate communication, and mountain research.
