AlpWISE : ALPine Water, Ice, Sediment and Ecology

Last journey in Last fieldwork journey in Kangerlussuaq, #Greenland for @MarjoleinGevers's project with the help of Noah and @BayensMathilde to remove seismic instruments from the field. Intense and rich moments for the team to conduct fieldwork in such remote polar environments.

⛰Une impressionnante lave torrentielle (coulée de débris rocheux) a été observée ce vendredi en #Suisse, près de Saint-Nicolas (canton du Valais).

Plusieurs vallées Alpines ont subi ce même phénomène que cela soit en France ou Suisse, provoquant des dégâts par endroit…
