Dark ice dynamics of the south-west Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has increased in recent years due largely to changes in atmospheric circulation and atmospheric warming. Albedo reductions resulting from these changes have amplified surface melting.

Modelling intra-annual dynamics of a major marine-terminating Arctic glacier [PDF]
, 2017 Significant intra-annual variability in flow rates of tidewater-terminating Arctic glaciers has been observed in recent years. These changes may result from oceanic and/or atmospheric forcing through (1) perturbations at the terminus, such as enhanced ...

Journal of Glaciology, 2023 We present the first systematic inventory of surge-type glaciers for the whole of Greenland compiled from published datasets and multitemporal satellite images and digital elevation models.

Annals of Glaciology, 2018 Glaciers retreating in response to climate warming are progressively exposing primary mineral substrates to surface conditions. As primary production is constrained by nitrogen (N) availability in these emerging ecosystems, improving our understanding of

Subglacial drainage processes at a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]
, 2005 Dye-tracer experiments undertaken over two summer melt seasons at polythermal John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada, were designed to investigate the character of the subglacial drainage system and its evolution over a melt season. In both summers,

Environmental factors influencing diatom communities in Antarctic cryoconite holes
Environmental Research Letters, 2013 Cryoconite holes are ice-bound habitats that can act as refuges for aquatic and terrestrial microorganisms on glacier surfaces. In the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, these holes are often capped by an ice lid that prevents the exchange of material ...

Drivers of Atmosphere-Ocean CO2 Flux in Northern Norwegian Fjords
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 High-latitude fjords and continental shelves are shown to be sinks for atmospheric CO2, yet large spatial-temporal variability and poor regional coverage of sea-air CO2 flux data, especially from fjord systems, makes it difficult to scale our knowledge ...

Polar Science, 2014 AbstractRapid environmental change has been observed in the De Long Islands, Siberian Arctic, where warming has extensively occurred over the area. To quantitatively evaluate glaciological changes since the 1980s, the climate, mass balance, and the equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of Toll Glacier on Bennett Island were analyzed.

, 2022 The ArcticDEM presents an interesting opportunity for research. By uniting knowledge and methods from geomorphometry and glaciology, this vast data source can help reconstructing features such as eskers, which are found in beds of paleo-ice sheets. This in turn can contribute to a deeper understanding and more accurate models of glacier dynamics. Using

Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Photogrammetric reconstructions of the Aldegondabreen glacier on Svalbard from 17 archival terrestrial oblique photographs taken in 1910 and 1911 reveal a past volume of 1373.7 ± 78.2 · 106 m3; almost five times greater than its volume in 2016 ...
