Pubblicazioni
I risultati delle misurazioni effettuate sono pubblicati regolarmente attraverso media differenti. Qui si trovano le più importanti pubblicazioni delle tre reti di misurazioni.
I risultati delle misurazioni riguardanti i ghiacciai e il permafrost sono pubblicati nel Rapporto Glaciologico ogni due anni. Inoltre ci sono molti articoli sotto forma di nuovi comunicati che si possono trovare nella rivista “Le Alpi” (rivista dei Club Alpino Svizzero CAS).

And Swiss glaciers continue to melt
Glacial melting in Switzerland was once again enormous in 2025. A winter with low snow depth combined with heat waves in June and August led to a loss of three per cent of the glacier volume. This is the fourth largest level of shrinkage since measurements began. Consequently, the ice mass reduced by one quarter in the last ten years. This was reported by GLAMOS, the glacier monitoring network in Switzerland, and the Swiss Commission for Cryosphere observation (SCC) of the Swiss Academy of Sciences.

Nouvelle année record pour le pergélisol dans les Alpes suisses en 2024
Le pergélisol des Alpes suisses n’a jamais été aussi chaud qu’au cours de l’année hydrologique 2024. La diminution de la quantité de glace du sol ainsi que l’augmentation de la vitesse des glaciers rocheux se sont également poursuivies. Ce constat se base sur 25 ans de mesures coordonnées dans le cadre du réseau suisse d’observation du pergélisol PERMOS qui, au cours de cette période, a pu voir une nette accélération des changements du pergélisol en Suisse.

Preserving glaciers at over 3,000 metres through climate protection
Strengthened climate protection on a global level could preserve more than a quarter of the ice existing today in the Swiss Alps. Researchers have written about this in a new fact sheet from the Swiss Academy of Sciences that outlines the current level of knowledge concerning glacial melting in the Alps, the diverse effects of this and possible courses of action. In particular, glaciers at over 3,000 metres above sea level could be preserved in the long term. The fact sheet will be published on 21 March 2025 to mark the first "International Glacier Day". The United Nations has declared 2025 the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation.

Severe melting of glaciers despite heavy snowfall at high altitudes
After the extreme circumstances encountered in 2022 and 2023, no relief is in sight for Swiss glaciers. Despite exceptionally large volumes of snow during the winter, a combination of temperatures in July and August that at times reached record levels and dust from the Sahara resulted in a loss of 2.5% of the glacier volume. This was reported by the Swiss Commission for Cryosphere Observation of the Swiss Academy of Sciences on Tuesday.

Non c’è tregua per il permafrost in Svizzera
Dopo due anni di nevicate scarse e di estati molto calde, il permafrost in Svizzera rimane sempre caldo anche nel corso dell’anno idrologico 2023, il suo tenore in ghiaccio continua a diminuire e i ghiacciai rocciosi continuano a muoversi velocemente. Lo dimostrano le ultime misurazioni della rete svizzera di osservazione del permafrost.
