Svalbard is one of the fastest-warming regions on Earth, and these high temperatures have driven unprecedented rates of glacier ice loss as well as “surges” – glaciers that suddenly speed up, moving up to tens of meters/day for short periods. This session from COP27 explains the consequences of Arctic amplification on snow and ice loss, with a specific focus on Svalbard and its disappearing glaciers. Ugo Nanni, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oslo, discusses his recent trips to Svalbard and the latest findings on glacier stability.
