About Glacier Watch — Glacier Watch

🧊 Our Mission

Glacier Watch was created to bring rigorous, peer-reviewed-sourced science journalism about the world's glaciers to general readers. We monitor glacier retreat, ice sheet dynamics, Arctic and Antarctic science, permafrost thaw, and the consequences of ice loss for sea level, water supply, and global climate. All our articles draw on data from NASA, NSIDC, WGMS, ESA, and IPCC.

"The world's glaciers are telling us something urgent. Our job is to make sure everyone can hear it."

📖 What We Cover

Glacier Melting: Global glacier mass balance data and retreat rates.
Arctic Science: Sea ice loss, Arctic amplification, and Greenland ice sheet dynamics.
Antarctic Glaciers: Ice shelf stability, Thwaites Glacier, and West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Climate Impact: How glacier loss affects global temperature, weather, and water supply.
Expeditions: The fieldwork and satellite science behind glacier monitoring.
Ice Age History: The geological context of today's rapid ice loss.
Permafrost: The Arctic's frozen carbon and its climate feedback potential.
Sea Level: Glacier contributions to rising seas and coastal risk.

🔬 Editorial Standards

All scientific claims sourced to peer-reviewed publications or recognised institutions (NASA, NSIDC, WGMS, IPCC, ESA).
We distinguish clearly between established science and areas of ongoing research.
Errors corrected promptly and transparently.
No sponsored or advertorial content.

👩‍🔬 Our Team

Glacier Watch is led by Dr. Anna Bergström, Senior Glaciologist with a PhD in Ice & Climate Science from the University of Stockholm. Our editorial team includes writers and researchers specialising in cryosphere science, climate communication, and polar research.
