flag Scientists used pink dye to track fast-melting water on Switzerland's Rhône Glacier, showing accelerated retreat due to climate change.

flag Scientists from ETH Zurich released pink dye into a meltwater stream on the Rhône Glacier in the Swiss Alps to visually track the rapid flow of water, highlighting the glacier’s accelerating retreat due to climate change. flag The vivid pink stream, designed for visibility, illustrated how quickly meltwater is escaping the shrinking ice—faster than ever recorded—underscoring the urgent impact of global warming on alpine glaciers. flag The experiment, part of broader research, used safety gear like ice picks amid hazardous terrain and aimed to communicate the scale of glacial loss to the public and media. flag The Rhône Glacier’s ongoing decline reflects a global trend, raising concerns about water resources, ecosystems, and climate feedback loops.
