Dear GLIMS colleagues,</div>

I am sad to report that David Breashears has passed away. I appaend a link to an Outside Magazine (online) article, where the family has broken the news.</div>

I did not know David personally aside from an intensive email and photo file transfer in the aftermath of the Gorkha Earthquake in 2015, and then some later discussions. He was a coauthor of the 2016 GLIMS-relevant SCIENCE paper on the Gorkha quake's secondary
processes, especially landslides, and also about effects on glaciers. Many of you are coauthors as well. David provided a spectacular and absolutely horrific before-and-after photo pair of Langtang Valley from the same vantage point. </div>

More famously, he produced two incredible films about Everest, which he summited multiple times. Through his company GlacierWorks, David was very influential in educating the global public about climate change and its impacts on glaciers.</div>
