The 125 year jubilee of the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS), located at the Department of Geography, attracted considerable media attention.
We are well aware that the Earth's glaciers have declined massively in recent years, because they have been researched for more than 100 years. But even the work of glacier researchers is no longer the same as it was a few years ago.
