K. Van Tricht releases a web-based tool that displays projected extinction timelines for glaciers worldwide. The application uses three global glacier models (GloGEM, OGGM, PyGEM) combined with multiple climate scenarios corresponding to temperature increases of +1.5°C, +2.0°C, +2.7°C, and +4.0°C. A glacier is classified as extinct when its area drops below 0.01 km² or remaining volume falls below 1% of initial value.

“Glacier changes are traditionally quantified in terms of total (regional) mass and area loss, but such metrics do not fully capture the disappearance of individual glaciers. Yet every glacier, no matter how small, can matter.”

Van Tricht et al. (2026)
